thanks! and no to the wheels, I have some 18.9.5 +15 Enkei NT03s made in a limited run for GTRs only to throw on here.. I photoshopped a picture with them on it and "lowered the car to more around what it will look like when finished. let's seeee......

^it's just making my decision harder!!! aghghghghgh! haha.

We got back to work today on the car. In 5 hours this is how far we got on the door.

and how every Subaru engine deserves to spend it's life.

also removed a bunch of stuff today like all the sound deadener on the driver's side, the rear panel on the drivers side(total 8 pounds), and the radio and speakers are out(8.8 pounds). So far I have removed 151.2 pounds/68.7 kilos.

question.. does anyone know if R34 exhausts are interchangeable with R33 exhausts. when I look at the two in pictures side by side, the bends seem to all be the same. If they did, then there are some awesome exhaust choices I have to make.

yeah i was giving you info on the 33/34 exhaust, but then realised i was thinking of the gtst, not gtr. so i removed it. lol

btw, the car looks great. i dont think you can ruin it no matter which wheels you choose. as long as they fit right :)

looks killer, Congrats to your girl and your self!

I think the wheels need to be these! nismo_lmgt4blacklimited.png

agreed!

also with regards to the exhaust, i can confirm that 34gtr exhausts are in fact slightly longer than the gtt's but sorry i dont have info on interchangability between 33's and 34's

This looks awesome mate, your GF is gifted indeed.

My only concern is that with all this hard work, you haven't sanded the original clear coat before applying the art work so when you end up spraying the clear over it, it will start to flake and peel in no time.

to be honest I don't expect it to last for an incredibly long time. When the time comes, I'll repaint it to Midnight Purple like I was originally planning!

Also, thanks guys for the infor on the R34 to R33 GTR exhaust info!

    • 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).
