Import QFM pads :(

Is there any issues with rebonded ones seperating?

We had a pit under a 4car garage of a house i lived in when i was little when we came back from NZ, sadly, i was too young to have a car and make use of it... suprised more people dont do them over here.

Yeah we had one in Czech in the basement, previous owner was a mechanic. Havn't really seen it in any houses in Aus.

the scary thing is though, it looks like it would really really hurt if you fell in one, some of them are deep as! and most of the ones i have seen have had sharp objects stored in there... ie car parts or old workshop doors etc etc

i asked my friend when we were at his friends workshop if anyone has ever fallen in there and he said that one of his friends fell into this pit but it was really funny because there was a few litres of paint being stored down there and he fell into the paint and got really messy lol

Dude this is abit left field, how did you go about getting your visa ect? I've been to Europe a few times and that side of town is pretty strict with guests. I reckon it's a unreal idea though@!

Are there any rules associated with what types of cars you can import and register? Or is it just find a car that starts.

Given the story about the cops, sounds like it's a drivers paradise.. or they've never seen a skyline and haven't had time to work out how to make money from burnouts.

you can import anything and everything and drive it. all you do is pay a small tax on the car. depending how many cc the engine is on how much tax you pay. There are a few skylines here, probly around 25 or 30 i believe.

I just finished dynoing my car for the drag racing tomorrow, made 475rwhp at 22psi which aint too bad i guess with the side pipe on. I was driving it to the race track to do some test runs (cant really call it a track its like a goat track with grass growing out of it and everything) i could only manage a 12.6 considering it was freezing cold and the track was very cold as well this aint too bad i guess.

anyway was driving home with the side pipe on, i would have passed 20 coppers they just looked at me and did not give a shit. when i was comming home from the track one copper even pulled me over. he did not say anything about the side pipe and how loud the car was with rotary idle on.. he just checked my passport and let me go.

I never imagined i could drive my car on the street with the side pipe and get away with it! if anyone has heard my car with the side pipe at power cruise this year then they would know how loud it is :P

or the comments from summernats, has it got a V8 in it? :P

Nice work. I imagine you'll get a bunch of new customers. BTW, how's the business side of it going? Making any money yet?

We open on Sunday, workshop is just about finished

Nice of you to give them a head start. ;)

PS why is the sky so hazy.....nuclear fallout I suspect :);):(

Yeah, that road is sooo bad for racing, about 200 meters or less after the finish line is a corner and I had to brake very very hard to avoid crashing at 200 km/h.

The road is soo bad that there was cracks all over it with grass growing out of them, there was cow shit all over the track which made it slippery and there was humps in the road where i would lose traction at high speeds!! in one of the videos you can hear the car going over the humps.

lol, you mean Chernobyl ? hhahaha that was like 23 years ago??? and the fall out was in Ukraine and Balarus and some went other western Europe. There are no Nuclear power plants here.. they use the rivers for hyrdo

Bloody cheaters, importing cars and racers to win the comp!

Rotary idle is sick, that is all...

Yeah, there were quite allot of supporters, but then there were the guys who hated the idea that some Australian comes and kick's their ass.

Kinda sucks that I was only up against 4wd Jap cars, any other RWD would not have had a chance to win unless it has lots of hp. i only had about 450 rwhp for the day.

yeah, no one here has ever seen a car accelerate as fast as my car once i got traction. my friends were telling me about the comments from some people, they were thinking the car had a jet engine on board lol

ahh i see...and they were 4wd.

you should have said "its powered by a small plutonium reactor"

    • 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).
