r390/ferrari... didnt impress me much.

nothing there really did... i took some pics... the only thing i saw that was reasonably worth a look was the SS-T Sidstep ute which i would assume is going into production for export to the US as the "Alcamino"

i went last night

classic quotes from the subaru stand

teenage guy: walks over to the wrx i was looking at, points at the alternator and says "WOW DAD LOOK AT THAT TURBO"

ME : laughing

His Dad: Son dont say things like that unless your 100% sure what your looking at is what your talking about, I dont know what that is but it isnt the turbo....

ME: still laughing

teenage kid: but it looked like the turbo on that other car

His DAD: pointing at the intercooler.. see son thats the radiator the air goes in there , then he points to the power steerin fluid bottle... thats where the water goes...

ME: um wtf thats the alternator, thats the intercooler, this is the radiator the water goes here dont put water there...... the turbos down there.....

ahahaahah thats great :P

there are 2 audi concept cars with twin-turbo V10's in them - worth a look, although one has no interior the other is mean.

that 2-door camry is decent with its 2.4T engine. that would be sweet especially if they actually put that engine into the normal camry and made it 4wd also! hmmmm ok i'm dreaming a bit here now

ford and holden stands were shit as usual.

nissan stand STILL selling GTR items (even though they havn't sold the GTR here for about 10 years) - go figure. so why aren't they selling the bloody skyline here??? morons...

i was just happy to go and sit in some cars like the integra/mx-5/monaro etc. which i read so much about yet never get teh cance to formulate my own opinions about. well now i have confirmed that most of them are shit. first hand experience is great isn't it.

well worth a look.

Waz.

    • 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).
