Excellent article and photos Matt.. I'm sure you're very proud!

Poster will be up on my wall very soon :thumbsup:

I've seen you blasting past Maccas a few times (the one just up from the freeway, trying not to go into too much detail here!) good to see the car being enjoyed!

great article in PI magazine!!!

Such an amazing car and the photos look brilliant!

Thanks guys. I have bought multiple copies to keep as momento. I am absolutely thrilled.

Cheers Matt

It was a white GTR Racepace special :) Nice work on the feature.

Hi Matt,

The looks hot in the Mag good work, i see your using a PFC Apexi how does the car drive?

Regards

Bobby

Thanks Bobby. The Power FC works well and car drives smoothly even with v Cam inetgrated with it. The idling is stable on Cold start. All other systems work well - air con; etc.

I am sure looking forward to a prominent magazine feature of your R34 build.

cheers

Matt

Deposit taken for ownership transfer.

Good luck to the pending new owner! I am confident that he will look after her as much as I have.

I have certainly taken a 'big' financial loss, but I still look at this entire build experience as being a gain and absolutely 'priceless', especially the friendships built over the years with fellow forum enthusiasts. I guess the finale was the feature in HPI.

A sincere thank you for all who have taken interest in this car.

(Apologies for all photos will be deleted to respect privacy of new owner)

Cheers

Matt

Well done on the build and feature. It's a shame it had to move on, but you just made someone very happy.

Hope they're on the forum and we can keep track of her progress, and lap times.

The owner is on here but there most likely won't be any lap times.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
