My 2 cents:

I have just come off my P Plates this year and i owned a 1992 civic which got my around and was made of pure awesome then moved onto my Subaru which was a little more power and also AWD. (then discovered imports and am currently trying like mad to make the switch).

Regardless of if your in a bombodore or ect, You first need to learn HOW to drive and im sorry to say there are PLENTY of non-p Platers that can't indicate or MERGE..(don't even get me started) but anyways back to my point.. I am a fan of the defensive driving courses (even though i haven't attended any myself..) and the standard nothing bigger than a N/A 4 cylinder until you clear your P's. OR Like a motorbike licence a test/ect to prove you can handle a more powerful car. (get out in a R32 on the track in the wet with boost and gate love and THEN see what your made of..)

There will be people bitching and whinging about the current laws which in my opinion are fricken joke! .. They are revenue rasing not designed to teach you how to drive and some driving instructors out there are JUST as bad! maybe chuck the kids in with some of the toyo drift team or ect... =p (how to do a 3 point turn at 120kmph and look awesome)

Learn in a Corolla or a Gemini like the rest of us did. You P Platers are f**king spoilt nowadays.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy? :P

They sure are taking their take time though... I remember hearing this proposal being mentioned 2 years ago...

K, so I should be shot for having a 400rwhp GTR on P plates?

nah man. I'm no tool.

Just the other 99.9% of the population =)

saying you drove around in a 400hp gtr on your p's is not winning you any dick waving contests man

sure you didn't crash but you certainly didn't drive it within and inch of its capabilities either ill bet

    • 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).
