I was driving into city for training last night and while I was on victoria road way before getting onto Anzac bridge, this marone R33 comes up besides mine.

Anyhow, it looked pretty good (I didn't realise skylines had such road presence)..Anyway, he took off and a while later, after I crossed Anzac bridge and took the second exit and just turned onto harris st. there he was too! so we were driving down harris street - him in his marone R33 and me in my black R33 line abreast like a motorcade or something. I thought it was pretty mad! People are looking and we get to the lights, then I think he was expecting me to take off and I was thinking the same about him, and we both ended up moving off heaps slow :) anyway that was fun

cheers

Its always SLOW that wins the race :) haha

black r34 gtt on Newline Road again this morning. Waved.

Shonen replica, but with the stock rear wing and dark wheels.

damn it another shonen replica.....there getting pretty common these days..........time for a drastic change me thinks.....

I spotted a "Shonen replica" today too, outside my building in Parra, about 10am. He was heading up Charles St, towards Philip St and the RiverCat terminal. Black R-34 with white wheels, nice exhaust note.

Didn't get to catch the plates as I was too far away at the time.

spotted a black 32 that was crawling along in traffic behind me from the m2 tolls to pacific hwy, where he turned off :) :wavey: this was at about 7:30-8am! i was hazard lighting you but you didn't respond :( and i wasn't going to open my windows in the rain! :P

MSP i think you are the only R33 owner i hear that waves to R32's.B)

I see atleast 5-10 R33's a day in my 29kms of driving and i have never seen a wave yet.

I don't think most R33(Taxi) owners know that an R32 is a skyline.

haha, the only waves I have gotten from ppl in 33's have been a forced wave cos I waved first.. other wise they just give blank stares as they pass by

the thing is that a lot of randoms buy r33s too that arent on the forums/dontcare/uninterested in other skylines..

they just buy it coz 'yee itz a skyline maens and it goes fast maens'

only the real enthusiasts appreciate skylines enough to acknowledge other skylines on the road :)

ps: R32s own.. that is all!

    • 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
