Sorry to hear that Juliette. Hopefully the Lancer can fly the FWD flag for this round.

Hi Bec - really sorry, I'm not going to be able to make DECA full stop now. Just ran into an unexpected expense with the Skyline on top of all the work being carried out to the Pulsar so I'm too short of money.

Don't you have your sisters wedding or something?

yeh but i organised to go up with several mates, already booked the motel and as it turns out my sisters wedding has been delayed :down: so i can't not come to deca even if i can't drive.

and after my enjoyable hospital visit today (another lost 4 hours), i can't take the cast off until the 8th of April

if you want to spot me at deca, just look for the cripple !

I'm sending good vibes your way. Aside from the lack of money/driving ability, I doubt the car would even be finished by DECA at the rate parts are taking to arrive.

All vibes appreciated Juliette.

Interesting re parts, is that because of the age of them or that they are specialized bits?

If you guys want a lift up for the day trip, I'm sure I can fit at least two more in the Lancer, otherwise good luck getting your mechanical problem sorted.

All that's holding it up is a billet input shaft from Asia. It arrived today but it was 0.2mm out of spec and meant it was too tight a fit. Another is being air-freighted over, the gearbox has been up in Sydney for a couple of weeks getting built and the car's been sitting on a hoist up in the air for about 5 weeks with no gearbox, front interior, etc. Lets just say, the gearbox and manual conversion is worth a fair bit more than my car would be stock haha. It's all worth it. I'll PM you closer to the time Clive, would love to take you up on that offer :D

Woohoo, manual conversion. Way to go will be worth the wait.

Should have thought tho' we could have done a dual entry on the day rather than you pulling out.

Not that my "rb18det" scuse me using the acronym, would be much of a comparison but at least it's manual.

Thanks for the offer but my manual driving's not up to scratch. I'd just watch :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out as well...

I hope to still come up and leech a few passenger seat runs from other friendly drivers :blink:

Ash, get your car fixed and gimme a lift up to shep!

haha but it might be fun being a passenger coming for a few spins with you and a few others :P also wouldn't mind going in a 33 GTR to see how they go as i'm currently in the market for one.

Also cant wait until sat night we gonna have a couple of fishbowls or what davo :P

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
