Thought id share my experience with the cars ive owned …..

Of course all JDM ;-)

Started off driving in a Corolla AE92 GT-I but hey lets not count that …

So second car that I always wanted was an RNN14 (GTI-R)

Had that for 3 years and was a really good car (bar the clutch)

I took her to a lot of GTI-R meetings in the UK

Having had the GTI-R, I got the 32 GT-R bug, and sorted myself out with one of those, sadly the GTI-R had togo to fund this purchase.

After 2 years with the GTR, (having been using it for an everyday car), I borrowed a recently imported & unregistered EVO 6TME as a courtesy car, whilst some work was done on my GTR. I thought it was really nice to drive and a better "all rounder" esp on british roads than the 32.

So ended up buying it a week later

(The Evo was tuned by Signal Auto, hence why the muffler is on the other side)

The Evo was cool, and I kept that for 18months, but exported the 32 to Sweden…

Always wanted an R34 GT-R and the evo never felt like a GT-R / RB …so had to go back to GT-R ownership

Next came my 1 owner from new (2000), Nismo Omori owned 34

About to be loaded on to the boat in 2007

Alas that is now sold and I move on to the TS 34

Hi sure the GT-R can be viewed here, sold it to sweden in the end

dont need to get my post count up,

just showing you what other nissans i have owned, and seeing as im in a unique position to most, having owned a beautiful R32, and 2 R34 GT-Rs, plus travelled to Japan many a times, having personal trips being shown round tuners such as TOMEI due to work, i thought it would benefit the forum

LOL, wasn't referring to you with the post count bumps!

Some people join up and post the same or similar comment (like "nice car" or "awesome" or "great shots," etc.) in 10 different threads just so they can then send a PM to someone. Then you barely see them post another comment for ages.

Oh, actually, I'd like to see pics of the AE92 Corolla, as an ex-AE94 owner myself!

    • 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).
