Ok, a small update.

After a week or so on the car, I elected to get underneath to check everything for tightness, and also take this opportunity to go one hole stiffer (maximum) on the front bar.

I discovered this;

As you can see, the "D" bush has split into multiple pieces. The other D bush is completely undamaged. The mount itself is completely undamaged. The bar itself and the powdercoat is undamaged. There was no noise or anything that would allude to an issue.

I have removed both and re-installed both factory front D bushes and mounts. Because the bars are both the same diameter, the original bushes are perfectly ok to re-use.

I don't know if mine was a random failure (which I believe is the case) and I will be in touch with Todd to get his opinion tomorrow.

I would urge you all to check the condition of your bushes and tightness of mounting bolts at around 100 km or so.

Please contact me immediately on 0410691143 if you have any concerns whatsoever.

Regards, Dale.

I will be able to get either one, just depending on what people want. Todd is happy to make more, but I need to talk to him about the bushes on the front bar. I'd like to go to a factory style urethane bush, I've found them for the rear, I just need to confirm availability for the front.

Just on the phone with Todd!

He's sending me 2 types of bushes today to trial; I should have them on Monday!

Once I've tested and know which Is appropriate, I'll get Todd to post you a set immediately.

So you should have bushes by Friday next week.

Thanks for your patience with this.

Cheers, Dale

Gahh when's the whiteline GB gonna happen!!!

Soon!

We have to wait until the bars are officially listed as a catalogue item with Whiteline; then we can commence the group buy.

Wayne is putting me in touch with one of his dealers, so we can get the best possible prices, as Whiteline must sell for full retail; they cannot undercut their dealers.

The advantage with this is I will be able to offer an excellent price on other Whiteline products you wish to purchase.

I'm currently manufacturing Heavy Duty rear Sway bar mounts from 316 stainless steel and these will be available very soon also.

These will actually be cheaper than buying an new mount from Nissan.thumbsup.gif

I've been in regular contact with Wayne, and we just have to be patient, I know waiting sucks, but it'll be worth it.

Trust me, I'm busting to get this going; you'll know as soon as I do!

Cheers, Dale.

ye same as any other parent company or company that have franchises like mine as part of the supplier / franchise agreements you cant under cut them , its bad business as they are the front for your company who help u profit by selling your shit

the discounts will be the reduction in franchise or dealer mark up

unless you work for the parent company then u just milk it with company discount / product cost

will be keen on these man looking to get the bars the links and ur mounts

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
