very nice! Even though its relatively easy to do, makes a big difference to the overall look of the car doesn't it?

hmmm..the hubs as well hey... /me runs outside and starts prepping car to do the hubs :) Nah, but maybe one day :)

cyrus: yours looks mad like that.. good choice of colour!

Yeah Joel that pic of mine you took looks Rad doesnt it! cant wait for the "action" shot of mine become viewable :)

That "action" shot of MJ's looks awesome!

What can i say, awesome outcome, money well spent, workmanship and value for money, AWESOME! Very proffessional finish and all I had to do were remove the tyres!

Thanks a lot for your time Joel, sorry we could only provide three, good luck next time, if anyone asks who did mine, I'll point them firmly in your direction!

The centre part is the hub facia- in 99% of cases I paint them as they're rusty or just look bad. On skylines they're usually black (at least they used to be black but have turned brown. ) On some theres also a horrible crusty bit right in the centre that I clean out and paint to prevent it from rusting any further. Some lines are in better shape than others.

Yeah theres a few good action shots that mindflux took from in my car.

I was having trouble uploading with optus FTP last night though, i'll try again tonight.

BTW, how come you guys always call me Joel? I don't mind really, but it's Joey :wavey:

Doh sorry Joey, I gotta learn to spell too, I swear it was joel, oh well one leter wawy isnt too bad :)

Still awesome work on mine, VERY happy with it, I want to drive past some buildings with reflective windows so I can see what it looks like going along, still very very happy with my gloworms :O

Close ups of Ska's "Hulk" stylee calipers and hubs.....

Thanks heap Nex for posting those, as everyone can see now before, during and after the whole transformation, if anyone wants a truely proffessional job done and couldn't be bothered doing it themselfs, Joey is definatly your man!

Yeah but now I need new wheels so you can see the calipers better

oh and Joey is the bomb...... people if you want a professional factory type job done then Joey is your man.

Factory? Hey! I'm not taking any lessons of the factory, they have no idea what they're doing.

Special thanks to you for the use of the carpark too mate.

Here are some more pictrues:

    • 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).
