Hi guys,

Looking at getting a car cover because I'll be moving eventually and leaving the car at home. No room for it in the city. Anyone have any suggestions? It'll be removed every now and then when I come home, and for track events, but other than that, I guess something that's got a fairly solid "skin", to stop water getting through when it rains?

Just 2 seconds on google, are Kenco any good? Saw one on the Supercrap website, $129.

Any other recommendations?

(thought of this after seeing Chubbs lol it up in a SAUVIC thread)

i use to work at supershitauto, years back, all i remember get one with a good inside, and make sure your car is clean, if you got a dirty car with anything over it in the wind and that shit will rub and scratch. cant really remember which was the best... but i do remember you get what you pay for

I had a autotechnica brand one for a few years. It was silver in colour was soft inside and had padding on top to protect it from falling sticks and hail. got it from Autobarn, its nice and thick and lasts for years. I tried another cover that was quite thin and it only lasted a month before i took it back for a refund, so i recomend getting something on the thick side.

Two seconds on Google, Owen:

CarCareProducts.com.au

and

CoverCraft.

(CoverCraft are pretty much 2mins from my house, so if you find something and order it, I can pick it up for you and save you the cost of shipping.)

I hit Google up and had heaps of sites; just figured some people here might have used some of them before and swore by them :(

Looks good man... If I end up getting one there, I'll let you know.

One thing to keep in mind. Try and find one without any stitched seems running through the middle or anywhere but around the edges. Basically look for a one piece otherwise any seems will scratch the crap out of the paint any time it moves.

and just to be on a safer side... get an old blanket or quilt and put that on the car.. then wrap the cover around it... for teh extra sofffffffnessss and make sure it's tied properly... like ... really tight.. that is all.

    • 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
