I didn't relise u were their! Did I speak to u still trying to put faces to names

We rocked up a 2:20 and the bistro had closed, so we went to maccas instead. We didn't meet each other, because we couldn't find anyone, it was dead inside haha

We didn't go with the main group we were probably an hour behind you guys.

Put my boost gauge in, didn't read right

pulled it apart and i think the seals and o-rings are gone so i'll have to go somewhere for new ones :(

Why worry about it?

Buy something a bit newer; there's accurate stepper motor gauges for cheap prices.

I like the look of it tho, should be fixable with less than $5 of o-ring seals too

Changed radiator, belts and hoses. Just gotta put that fuggin under tray back on.

No under tray here.Mine came loose and folded underneath the car when i was driving,so i thought the f**ker can stay off.

Fair enough, don't forget to check accuracy once it's back together.

Hope it all goes well.

Will do, i greased up the old seals and put them back in in the hope of reviving it and it worked for about 30 seconds

I'm pretty sure its the seals in the dial mechanism that are causing the biggest problems

I might think about disabling that part of it

I'll take some photos later if i take it apart again

HA! I mainly left it off so I could see leaks, now I've become lazy and really CANNOT BE FU*KED!.

The undertray creates a low pressure area in the engine bay, which radically improves airflow through the rad and clears excess heat from the engine bay.

It may not make a noticeable right now; but come summer, it will.

    • 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
