Just picked up my car from micolour (sauvic sponsor/supporter) and wanted to share the results.

Car went in for a slightly dented right guard but came out with a whole new front end (front bar, bonnet, both guards, mirrors, mud guards, grill and door mould under window) due to the previous paint showing its age :P

Mick took care of the whole insurance process, all i had to do was drop the car off and pick up when its ready.

Gave the whole car a quick cut/polish and also detailed the interior which was a bonus.

Took some quick photos, ill take some proper photos with some better lighting next time.

Thanks Micolour :down:

Don't drive behind ppl with Semi on your way to Deca :(, nice job.

haha yeah im paranoid about taking it to deca now :P

Chips and scratches are part of a daily's life and i guess i have to accept it :rofl:

or i could keep the car in a bubble... ;)

looks great man.

as for stone chips why not get stone guard (aka clear carbra) for your front bar, bonnet and front half of the guard. you wont even know you have it on your car and will keep your front looking as good as that

whats that stuff worth?

whats that stuff worth?

depends on the car.

for example my dad just got a brand new VE calais so paint work is immaculate so no "paint prep/clean" needed. he got quoted $490 to cover the front bar, foglights, headlights, front qtr of bonnet and top and side front qtr of the guards.

you can also get the skirts or any part of the car done.

give these guys a call. will be getting mine done after front end is resprayed

I have to do the same, got a small dent in my right rear panel. Claiming through insurance so I am taking it straight to Mick. I just hope he has time.

Thanks for posting results, this just cements in my preferred repairer :3some:

    • 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).
