I have had my Nissan Y34 Cedric VIP 300 for a few months now. Got it off Iron Chef.

It looked like this but with stockies on it.

Wheels are 19" Work LS406's with custom Burning Black Painted Centres. Sizes are 19 x 9 + 20 and 19 x 10.5 +20. 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 Sumitomo Z3's

After spending a few weeks trying to work out how to go about the busted Shocks it had i finally manned up and Ordered a set of JIC FLT FAR Coilovers. Had some great help from Importmonster Guys with this. If you need anything for your car hit up www.importmonster.com.au. They will help you out as much as they can and with anything you want from japan. Be it for your car or some random japanese thing. They can pretty much source anything.

I have put a sub and amp and replaced 6 of the 10 speakers in the car for my enjoyment.

I have plans of getting a kit for it. Just have to save up the money for the kit.

I hope to one day get some engine mods for it. Bigger turbo and injectors, Front Mount and the likes.

But the stock VQ30DET engine has enough balls for cruising around adelaide for now.

Id like to thank Matt and Joe from Wheelworx for helping me get the rims and tyres.And for letting me do it all at work.

Stewie from SFR for helping me put the coilovers in.

Adam from 619 Customs for the sick installs bro and the tint :banana:

I will be out and about in the thing as its my daily. Alot of ppl think it's a new Unrealesed Merc. Alot of ppl just stare trying to work out what it is.

If you want to come down and have a better look Come down to Wheelworx on Port road. Ask for Brenton (me)and I'll answer any questions ya have about it.

K Thanx Bye.

    • 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
