Yep voted for you - would like your car...just needs an RB30/26 and some bigger turbos and I would be so happy!!

Thanks. Yes I would like a tuned rb26 and manual box, but I have a dodgy left ankle from a recent accident and do a lot of driving to and from work, not to mention my other half would go mental cos she will only drive autos !

another vote for you mate

can't believe that p10 has so many votes

shame kids in the uk can't drive half decent cars till they are retired due to the stupidly high insurance

another reason i love australia :)

I voted for your car. Your lucky you werent up against darrinspencer's car, lol. Particularly liked the pics you put up a few months back. It is begging for a well built 26/30. I think Unique1's stag retained a drag spec auto.

Voted for ya Dean, very nice looking Stag :thumbsup:

Bit pretentious though?

"...AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION MINE IS THE BEST LOOKING PERFORMANCE ESTATE IN THE UK AT PRESENT"

No RS6 Avant's in the UK?

I would agree with Dean's claim as the latest RS6 is a bit OTT for me. The last model was OK and both are probably better engineered but I would prefer to spend another $40-$50k getting 600awkw for the Stagea rather than have a 2nd hand RS6!
why did that website set off mega web warnings on my computer?

Not sure why. No one else has mentioned it and it hasn't done anything like that at work even with all our corporate protection measures.

Maybe it's something to do with it logging IP addresses to prevent cheating.

Nope mine was a 5 speed dogbox (ppg). Its actually featured in the current HPI magazine at the moment for anyone keen to see how it used to be :)

    • 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).
