Thanks for the tutorial! Was easy to follow.

Had a leak on the car i just bought and i fixed it up.

Just to clarify, you need the following parts:

1 x 13270-58S01

1 x 13270-58S11

2 x 11051-58S00 (half moons)

I polished mine up and i reckon they came up pretty nice! Replaced my coil over cover too, it was scratched up pretty bad.

Check out the before and after pics below.

Very nice!

Something i need to do again too. Been on and off so many times getting yucky seepage.

Luckily theres a Nissan dealer in NZ that sells an entire gasket set, including the rubber bolt washers, E+I cover gasket and half moon seals for $60. Pretty good i reckon.

Thanks guys!

Pfcr33, sorry for the late reply, heres what you need to do:

- Take the cam cover off

- Use a fine wet and dry sandpaper and moisten with some kerosene, and then give it a good clean up with that

- After that, use a loose leaf buff to polish them. You want to use the white SS compound which is ideal for aluminum alloys.

I have a buff attached to a bench grinder. The white SS compound you can get at bunnings.

Takes a fair while to do, so patience is required.

Just so you know, they wont stay like that forever either, they will eventually fade.

If you need more info let me know and ill go into more detail if you need.

I might do a tutorial with pics once i get some free time.

Hey gents,

I did this a couple days ago with a brand new gasket kit and there is still seepage coming from the passenger side rocker cover on its low side?

Put a lil bit of extra silicone there too and its still leaking?

Everywhere else is good though.

Great DIY threads are Great!

Thanks Heaps!

Did this yesterday and replaced my dirty old 33 cam covers with Shinyish 34 covers.

Got all the seals on Ebay for cheap! ---->> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221170542626?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4187wt_1139

Driven the car a couple of times since and no sign of leakage yet.

Hopefully that's my oil leak gone. :thumbsup:

Cheers! Yep very happy with the seals n service.

My old seals are so hard and squashed, it's no wonder they were leaking.

I'll have to do a good degrease soon.

I Love the breather fittings on the 34 covers compared to the 33s.

Job well done, very satisfying. :D

    • 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).
