Hey guys,

Our school formal is in August this year and I really could not think of a better way to turn up than in one of these beautiful creations. So I was wondering if anyone with a skyline (preferably 34) would be willing to do this, all you would have to do is drop me and maybe 1 or 2 other people off at the formal.

Price could be discussed at a later date.

Please let me know if you could or know someone who could, it would be absolutely amazing :)

Throw it up as a cruise. Ie get a whole bunch of skylines to rock up, pick the best one to ride in and the others as "escort". 300zx club did this in ACT last year, no one asked for payment - 2 cars actually came all the way from Sydney for the cruise.

Ditto that - impressive and fun.

Edit: From memory outside of the person who wanted a Skyline I beleive a number of others at the time decided to go in the other lines.

We did one from q'town to Rydges Lakeside and another from Aranda/Weetangra to the Convention Centre.

One corner comming out of the belco suburb all the lines drifted a little slidewayz. it had sprinkled a lil rain.:whistling:

I know you said you want a Skyline and plenty of others are offering for free, but just in case you have mates or whatever that need a ride... I do formals (and weddings) in this, 1970 Dodge Challenger 440ci 6 Pack R/T:

Normally charge $250 but since it's not peak would do it for $200.

Otherwise I have the R32 GTR but never done a formal in one:

Heck yeah that things a weapon. I miss my old mustang everyday. Wish I never got rid of it.

I'd be happy to do the formal thing. Used to do them all the time on my previous cars. Mines not a GTR or anything just a tidy looking GTST but still a bit of fun.

What about a white wide body s15 silvia? My bro owns the car, and he would easily be willing to do a formal run, although it's probably best he only takes one person in his car considering it's pretty crammed in the back. 1999 Jap Spec R fitted with a c-west front, veilside front fenders, veilside sides, veilside wide rears, and veilside rear kit. The wheels will be painted soon (apparently) matte black centres with a gloss black lip. Right now it's kind of princess spec laugh.gif . He wouldn't charge much at all, maybe just a little bit towards petrol. Let me know what you think.

    • 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).
