serious!!??

everyone raves about him, thought they are suppose to be good?

He must have a warranty on his work?

I will tell you who doesnt rave about him....THIS GUY *points at self* and i wouldnt hold out hope of the warranty sticking either.

warrentee is sticking at this stage, even though i bought it 2.5yrs ago. it sat on the shelf as i had some personal issues that stoped me from moving forward with my 25-30build.

im not blaming anyone at this stage, i have been completly happy with the workshop that did my engine install ect. and i was on the phone to jim (for a long time) and i was explaining to him that i just want to know "why" this has happened and what caused it, his clutchs are the best, no doubts, ifs or buts. However mine failed, for all we know the front seal on the gearbox (which i hope was replaced) leaked and put oil on the clutch, in turn no matter what clutch i had in there would of been slipping.

I'll post photo's when i get it out of the car...

anyway, comment in my build thread, not in here lol :P

yeh got it, interesting read, without much of a conclusion....

mine will be out monday to see what happend, in my frustration of the clutch dieing i bought another car... lol. *facepalm*

hope to have it back in a week. ill be posting pics of the clutch ect on my build thread for you to see.

anyways, back on topic :whistling:

Don't think anyone went last week. I had to bail on it with uni assignments piling up. There is a southside meet this week which should have a fair few cars attending. I was thinking if anyone else is interested maybe we can go for a cruise to that meet? We can go out the back way avoid the majority of highways and enjoy some mountain roads then hit up the southside meet grab a feed and head home. Anyone else keen?

I don't think this has run for awhile. I've been busy with work and going up to the Southside meet every fortnight. Not sure if anyone has carried this on most likely it has just died. I'm moving to Brisbane next week so I won't be attending any more.

Yeah it died haha,

Have you finished your degree?

I just finished my last exams, hopefully if it all went well then I'll finally be graduating!

If I get the Goldy meet going again and you're still going to the southside meet then we should organise a meet halfway next year or something similar?

Hopefully CJ will have his 32 up and running again by then!

    • 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).
