Hi Guys & Gals,

When I was cruising Yahoo auctions via Import Monster last night I stumbled across 2 x very nice original R/S badges on page 7 of my DR30 search.

They have a starting figure equivalent to AU$74.00 and if you think like me, they would be a good investment for your ride for when yours are old & crazed and or cracked.

Cheers, D

I bought a pair of new RS guard badges recently, plus the front bonnet "S" and rear bootlid "X" emblems direct from Jenesis' Yahoo Auctions Japan shop. Definitely worth getting if you're into the whole restoration buzz like I am :O

They can be ordered new through Nissan NZ/Aus, but it's far cheaper and faster to source them direct from Japan. I used the Hayatonka middleman service to purchase mine, the guy who runs it has very reasonable charges compared to most. Plus as an added bonus for purchasing from Jenesis they included a couple of bonus items - a large "NISSAN PDC" sticker and small "Strongest Skyline Ever" decal.

another Yahoo shop that sells the badges is Carshop Omote - see here for their current listings, they have other genuine parts as well.

I just listed one for sale today on behalf of an older lady, an '81 4-door DR30 RS non-turbo. Has been her daily driver for years now, but she's looking to get something more modern.

A shame you're in Australia and not New Zealand, otherwise it could probably have suited your needs. The current owner is only looking for around $3-4k.

with that said, I do have contacts in vehicle shipping...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
