I am getting a bit sick of having a nice battery cover one one side of the engine bay while there is a gaping hole on the other side which has nothing but uglies on display (plus I'd like to hide the catch can ;))

I have ordered a G35 battery cover "kit" from the US which, I am told, will require cutting and at least 1 bracket to fit properly.

Will post pics etc when I fit it.

Now, I figure I can't be the only one that thinks this way (although it is a common occurrence :down:) so depending on how many people (if any) would be interested and how much needs to be done to fit it, I will look into a group buy in the not-too-distant future.

Cost will be a maximum of $160 delivered to your door with clips and whatever bracket(s) are necessary and will obviously be cheaper the more people want to go ahead with it, but for now, if you are interested feel free to say so :blink:

Very bloody interested!

By the way Cam, I modified the catch can by cutting a hole in the top, threading it and fitting a knurled cap with o ring. Now I can run the stainless scourers inside it. I am making a bracket to hold it in too if you want one.(instead of the cable ties)

LOL... yeah wouldn't mind. Will save me a bit of time this weekend making one up (cable ties were temporary :D )

Scourer? again?? Why not take the top off (unscrews I am told) and add a divider down the middle to force the air down and around? Maybe better, yes?

They are definitely threaded but I couldnt budge it. Now I have a fancy knurled cap. :D

I was going to make an alloy sheet brake unit cover and paint it black but this idea sounds much better, just hope it fits ok.

For those interested, here are a couple of pics with the cover fitted (no brackets as yet).

Price will be $145 which includes cutting to the cover and shipping to your door.

If interested you should not that there is some cutting of the existing bodywork that is necessary to fit it.

Need a minimum of 5 orders and will require payment up front :)

It would appear I need slightly more than the Break Fluid panel cover.. I thought there was meant to be something covering that corner :(

Spose getting a battery cover would now just look a bit silly too! Ah well.

Has anyone managed to persue this? what's the part no? I would be interested on 1.

I found one supplier on eBay US for around aud$80 delivered so a group buy should lesson the postage making them slightly cheaper again.

How many people would be interested on this group buy? 1 will have to be send to chc nz.

I can get 10 sets sent to me, but I can't ship them to people for that. Feel free to post the link.

IF you guys are interested in a GB, I would need a minimum order of 10 and the cost of each will be $92 shipped to your door.

      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).
