I did something similar.

I quit my job on the spot after a fight with my supervisor. Sold both my cars, and lived off my savings which was my house deposit to go and study full time.

I was that motivated to do well and stick it to my bosses and also because I was running out of money and didn't live at home.

Ended up securing a job on oil rigs before finishing my studies by being hand picked from my class.

Now earning at least double what my old boss does and I was quite happy to let him know when I went in to visit the guys I worked with.

If you're motivated, you'll be fine!

After just getting mine back after 7.5 months apart, every single moment I spend in the car I have a huge smile on my face. It's awesome.

I'm really looking forward to getting the parts I've bought over the last few months into it (alloy radiator, oil cooler, nismo short-shift, nismo dash, nismo injectors, etc).

Unfortunately, I also need to re-build my custom amplifier shelf which was destroyed in the crash, put all my amplifiers, carpc, sound processor back in and the big one -- re-sound deaden the boot. Can't believe of all things, I lost all my sound deadening because because they replaced nearly the entire rear of the car.

After having completed the boot lid today in Dynamat, I gotta say I'm not looking forward to the rest. Too much like hard work, especially when my back is still in pain.

Okay after the previous conversations in here, this is unexpected..

SYDNEY (AP) — Australia’s ruling party voted Saturday to endorse same-sex marriage, a reversal of its long-standing position that has little practical effect on the chance of gay marriage being legalized in the country.

sad day for Australia

in your humble opinion.

I happen to be happy about this.

Seriously. If you (christians/muslims/whatever religion) wanna make marriage sacred, ban divorce. So sick of hearing the religious saying that gay marriage cheapens hetero marriage. Hate to break it to ya, but bogans have been cheapening the sacrament for the last 50 years dawg, so don't get angry when "homos and lezos" wanna get jiggy with it. If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad. And any son of a bitch who is so pre-occupied with the doings of other people (preference regardless) needs to get a life.

Live your own life, with the freedom that this society grants you. Don't get so self righteous that you're gonna tell any other person how to live their life, especially when it doesn't affect you. Respect each other, and each others freedom to chose their own destiny. You would expect such honor yourself..

I love vagina, but I'll represent all of my queer mates even if it ain't popular...

+1 labor. Seems like they got it right for a change. IMHO.

    • 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).
