Yeah not so much on stuff like that, but you probably got that impression from my post.:whistling:

I'm more referring to hamfisted mods with no real forethought, normally structural or braking related.

I signed it: don' be hatin'!:nyaanyaa:

Same here I have no sympathy for the knobs that are outside the law or have hot air induction pod filters, gay altezza style commo lights n crap like that. BUt this law is to broad and could get ppl in the poo just for having on a spare tire or a broken windscreen while on the way to get it repaired.

Sure the cops will say that they wont in this case but then one or two will be anal turds and give you one and all of a sudden every cop is giving one just cos they can.

the laws suck pretty hard, have heard plenty of stories about people in stock cars getting defected. Like evo's with factory recaro's getting defected for "aftermarket seats" or people getting done for exhaust volume on a brand new stock car. Like said, if they have nothing official to fine you for but want to give you a fine then they can just pull the suspicion of mods thing and you have to pay to have the sticker removed. These things really are getting out of hand when you can be defected for stock or approved mods. It would at least be a bit more fair if you only had to pay if it turned out you had a defectable item, if it passes the pits then you shouldnt have to pay. It would stop issues like this and stop it from being abused so much.

Talking to my workmate last night who's bro is a higway cop. Apparently they way they meet their kpi's isn't by how many people they pull over but how much in fines they rack up!

    • 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).
