I know it's not cosmetic, it's damage, but I couldn't find anything about damaged skylines :( Help would be awesome

Well here is my situation; I was backing out of my friends driveway and they have a stone pillar which is on it's last legs. A kid slowly cruises past on his bike and waits for me to back out of the driveway, and leans on the stone pillar. You can guess what happened next. And yes the kid was fine. My car and temper weren't. So now I have a vertical approx 10 cm scratch on the corner of my back bumper. It's deepish it cuts about 3 mm into the bumper, and underneath the bumper (where it isn't visible) about 7 mm. Do you think I could cut and polish this, or would I need to replace the entire bumper bar?

Any help would be awesome :)

my front bar on my 34 was f**ked up after i hit one of those lil concrete blocks in a car park.

i stithed it all up with cable ties underneath and it came out perfectly from the panel shop after i got my car resprayed.

It's a fairly deep and wide scratch, and yeh I'm going to go with fill and spray, which will probably cost as much as buying a new bumper :(

I wanted to do a DIY but no place I've been to has pearl white.

new bumper is $100, respray will cost $300-400 if you don't have mates rates

Does your bumper have the "SKYLINE" and 25GT badges? the only reason i bought a new bumper was coz i wanted those badges lol.

Rule of thumb is if you can see black its not able to be fixed without having it resprayed as its taken the paint right off and dug into the plastic.

and if your planning on buying a body kit, do it before you fix the bumper as your going to be paying for a respray anyway you may as well put an aftermarket kit on and spray that instead.

      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).
