Hey guys, Johnny here.

sorry i know this has probly beenposted so many times, dnt really know how to navigate this site cos im harldly on it.

is there anyone out there in the canberra area that can do good resprays? i just moved from Adelaide to Canberra and dnt know the area or shops, i own a 33 and my roof is badly sun damaged, and base paint is screwed and rust is slowlly setting in, im after a price and not a price like stupid shops quote for 10k :S im only after the roof done for the time being.. car is burgandy or wine red. just looking for a second hand job that is still good resonable price. and not crappy that will last a little bit till i can make enough money to get it done professionally.

i can help sand it back and prep and even buy the materials needed like the paint, i just dnt have my own equipment or i would do it myself. just really need the roof done for a temp job but still good to look at :\

or any info on where i can go for good prices and work is appreciated.

feel free to drop me an email at

If you are just looking for something to stop it rusting and look okay (better than what it does now) and then save up for a full respray. DIY!

Rub it back and make sure it is super clean (no finger marks) give it a quick prime and then use a couple of Rattle cans of base colour. If you a feeling superkeen then you can also put a few coats of clear-coat ontop too. Don't use cheap arse supercheap import cans go to a proper paint store. If you prep it properly it will last and you can get a pretty decent finish.

Otherwise I have heard nothing but good things from KMF.

hey mate i can do it, i sent an email from my hot mail account to you earlier. otherwise any panel shop will be able to do it,

I know Alldents in hoskins street mitchel are pretty good..

if you sand off all the old paint down to the metal and give the car to them like that, that will help a lot in doing a good and you know it will be done properly.

they wont be painting over sun damaged old cracking/crows feet paint and the next painter wont have to bare metal it and will hopefully be a good enough base to flow coat for when you want a mint paint finish next time

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
