haha, third drive it is then.

I remember importing my car from japan and went it had landed I went and had a look at it.....killed me for days to not think about it since it was in front of me but cant touch the thing since it hadn't went through compliance etc. But the worst day is the day before as I didn;t sleep at all seeing as I knew my car was ready the next day for pick up, however, the best feeling is when your first given the keys, you get in it and fire it up :(

Hehe yeah, when I imported my first car (R33), I used to go see it every few days when it was in compliance, even though it was a 40min or a long train trip to get there.

lol, thats dedication

Great buy and great colour. I am in a similar position. I have tracked it from the time I won it. I knew when it left Yokohama and watched the ship bringing it here. I saw the ship in Port Kembla , and I washed her and helped get her ready for quarantine. I have sat in her and started her up. She is now being complied which will only take a day or two as she is completely stock. Trouble is DOTARS are running about 10 to 14 days for the paperwork return and plate. It is now killing me and I am sick of my brother and friends calling me everyday for news. So I share your pain. Hope it all turns out well for y :Dou

    • 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
