looks good but no toll roads for me but we can work out some other way to avoid using them ...either way should be good

Easiest route would be to go straight up Springvale rd and join up with Whitehorse Road/Maroondah Hwy. Can pull up in the service road if we get seperated. +1 vote for Marysville.

yeh thats what i was going to say at the meet up

what cant you get your car tuned or did you break it was looking forward to having a look at it

as per the 'What have you done to your stagea today' thread.. he blew up his turbo AGAIN domokun.gif

Front bearing seized I would say, snapped the shaft, all at 8 psi. lol.

I will get it going for you Aaron, dont like seeing a grown man cry. :laugh: Just ride with me if it isn't running mate.

Couldnt make it to todays cruise, just too early for me. :ninja:

if the turbo failed at only 8psi and its been highflowed should there be some way they will fix it as it should not fail with minimal boost...send it back to them to see if it was a build fault

what scott said. shaft snapped in the centre. bearing seized the compressor wheel. all at 8psi, and at 2k revs.

The guy who built it has had a look and is covering it for warranty.

but the housing is getting machine and stage 2 sierra racing comp wheels are going in back and front, and reverting to bush core as theres less hassles than a custom BB Core(unless garret core)

Yeh scott im not pushing you dude. but your helping heaps! thanks man!

    • 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
