Hey guys,

Really sorry if this has been posted before....but I don't even know what they are called. With the standard air snorkel on the stageas/RB25 engines I went to take it off today and those plastic clip things popped out. I didn't realise that there was a special way to take them off. So when I went to clip them back in they don't clip in properly :P

First of all what are they called and where can I buy some more from?

Thanks,

Matt

Hey mate, I did the exact same thing with my R34 snorkel. Go to Autobarn or SuperCheap and get a:

Champion Panel Pack - 2 Scrivet Clips - 8mm hole - P/N PP68

The ones I got can be opened & closed using a standard phillips head screwdriver.

You may want to measure the hole just be on the safe side - I got some 6mm ones too, just in case.

At around $5 a pack they're a rip-off for bits of plastic but what can you do...

use cable ties.

seriously

Well, I've had to pull off the snorkel like five times since putting the scrivets in, a lot less painful than replacing cable ties every time.

Otherwise I'm sure they'd work just as well :P

    • 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
