Spotted Jayce and I deciding on which way to beat up Mick after seeing him with the neons on in Braddon  :mellow:

I'm a big fan of neons.....but dude! we could see the tubes, which ruined the effect! just hide those tubes and it'll look sweet ^_^

Yeah I know thats why I dont turn them on much! Was it just the rear one you coud see?

The others should be o.k. I brought them from America, because all the neons here are week and crappy! So I found the same ones they used of 2 fast 2 furious movie!!

G'day Mick!

Unfortunately,Veilside and I could see nearly all of the actual tube under the car. I'm personally not a fan of neon on such a tough car,but it's not my ride,and car modification is such a personal thing...Maybe hide 'em a bit better? Yours rates as one of the best 33's I've ever seen,and this small blemish wont change that!

Similarly,the 34 GTR that isn't RH9 but has a harlequin paintjob too;not my thing,but all in all a tough car(spotted it at Jerra's shops earlier today,too). Whereas the silver 34 GTR with the dished Jap' rims and tough 'zorst not on Saturday night in Braddon made me reach for a box of Kleenex...

yeah, i must say i think that if they were just hidden they'd look awesome, as i Jayce and I were saying to each other yesterday, we have very differing tastes on what we want to do for modifying e.g. Jayce is more subtle whereas I'm the bells and whistles kind.

You just need to hide them better and they will look awesome, I'll certainly be having them on my new project.

That was me, I went past him right before this epic tale unfolded....

“…..and so there was a 2001-esque model M3 sitting next to the rattly old Skyline, approaching the Duntroon adjacent roundabout. And so the pilot of the M3 decided that he would demonstrate the mighty roaring power of his wealthy executive intended Bavarian form of transport. And so he squashed thine loud pedal into the thick carpeted floor upon exit of the now navigated roundabout, sure of his $140,000 ticket to M-tuned superiority. Much to his total dismay, the near 16 year old red and silver bucket sat next to his finely tuned piece of German engineering, until the electronic engine revolutionometer limter was approached at the loud end of both vehicle's "power spectrums".

Not that this kind of behaviour is condoned.... but there's no way in hell I was going to pass up that opportunity :)

(Truth be told from a standing start he'd probably smash me with all that launch control gadgetry)

Yeah, I don't get to see other liners much, other than the very weak ARM85 who's too scared to even take his line to the nats (its soft, like a whale :P)

aah but therein lies the catch. very few of the SMG-equipped m3 owners will actually use this wonderful electronic do-daddery. you can't use the launch control more than 3 times (the computer logs it) before your warranty is voided. how incredibly stupid is that!!! a $146,000 sportscar that they wont let you drive as its sposed to be driven!!!! *grumbles*

spotted a bloke in white 32 gtr today. stickers on it. guages on the pillar. big kit. stock 32 gtr rims and a clearly audible multi-plate clutch at about 2pm. fyshwick.

drove right up to him and flashed and honked and waved etc and he was all very un-inspired by the whole thing. bloody non-sau snobs.

    • 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).
