Funkymonkey: anyone know if there's a bounty on monaro rims?

As far as know and from what ive heard you cannot buy S/SS/Monaro or HSV rims from the dealer unless you can prove yours were stolen/wrecked etc. They charge big biccies for a set of 18inch Monaro rims (around $7k, the old SS 17s were around $5k), so in a certain sense there is a bounty on a set.

Has anyone heard of any problems at the Castle Hill Towers shopping centre.

I am always parking there and quite often when I get back to my car the motion sensor has gone off. Probably due to thumping exhausts on other cars though.

As for Liverpool my girlfriend has twice had her CD player stolen from her car and its only a Ford laser. Funny thing was last time it happened she could not start the car, thought some wires must have been ripped or something. She called the NRMA and they found that the gearstick (auto) had been knocked out of park.

And yes she is a blond.

Bondi? Broadway Shopping Centre?! Man this is where I live!!! I was hoping it would be cool around the Eastern Suburbs?! Looks like I am in for one nasty ride now that I own a Skyline.

But 2 friends of mine who have Alfa Romeo's have also had shit happen to them.

One guy had his bonnet keyed. Badly. And another guy has had his tyres slashed. Both Eastrn Suburbs.

I've parked all over the place with my 'line and had very few problems.. BUT take care at Chatswood Westfield. I thought it was a reasonably safe carpark but within 2 weeks both my car, and my bosses Honda Civic were vandalised. With my car they had jumped on the roof, dented it all in, and dented the bonnet. Stole all my valve caps and let all the air out of one of my front tyres, tried kicking off one of the side GT badges and failed. Bent both my mirrors the wrong way (or tried since they were folded in at the time) but that has stuffed one of them up a bit.

Seems you cant park a car without worrying unless its a $1000 crappy thing you use for day to day.

I've parked all over regularly and never had problems at the following:

Eastgardens: good considering its free parking.

Warringah Mall: No worries again, though after 6pm the boomgate goes up. (9pm on Thursdays).

Broadway, Fox Studios: No worries.

I have parked at Liverpool, Burwood and Parramatta without problems but thats not to say there arent any..

Fark, not Broadway! That was the last shopping centre I took my car. What level were you on when it got broken into?

I was on the street level (big mistake) i was in a hurry and parked the car to an empty spot far away from the walking spot to the shops. Now i know why that spot was empty. There are many junkies hanging around there.

Well my old car got broken into in Liverpool Westfield the first time I have ever parked it there. Three or four other cars were broken into the same night.

Also saw an SS got left on bricks in Broadway. This was on the ground floor very close to the entrance (probably the second row from it).

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
