Yeah there is very little in aus, which is a shame. So when I am ready look in Japan!.

Good 12 housings are hard enough to come across now a days but you have NOS factory racing items!!!

yeah very hard to find....i got two MFR 12a PP sets and one set of MFR 13b PP housings! :cool:

these are the stationary gears again new mazda factory racing parts....these were very hard to get,although i have been told that you can use late model 13b gears and machine them down (the early MFR gears are nitrided and so was the 13B turbo gears) but these are genuine and it makes my brain work better knowing that they are the 12a "racing" units that moffet and katayama used :D

Well you obviously know the right people. How did you get this MFR stuff??

i currently have no more organs left to sell :D Ive been saving this stuff up for a while for when something a little special came up....and i thought this was the perfect car to use it on.....i could have bought a series1 rx7 and built a moffett replica but i personally think they look like a busted ars***le :D

i dont think that they used titanium back in the day and call me a wastefull bastard but this is the what my extractors look like at the moment :D I plan to make a set of lobster style headers,then a full system....it seems to weld nice aswell,which is a bonus.....if i have to make ears bleed to make me smile....oh well

By "not using the trumpets" I assume you mean you're going to get the non - anodised ones, just the plain alloy? Those have been around as long as Webers, so I presume period enough? (that's what I was using in the 80's)

yeah they are a bit loud looking.....plus the car will be used regularly on the road so im not sure if i like the idea of loads of crap running through the intake......i was thinking of using an original aircleaner assy with the base modded to fit onto the throttle body...could be a bit restrictive but....i have to think about it a bit

You can use the Uni filter or Finer filter foam air cleaners like these. Plenty of guys use them on Webers in rallying (I had a pair on my RX2 rally car with 51 Weber) so they'll keep all the crap out of your engine. I see Unifilter also sell the plain ram tubes.

If you haven't already bought the throttle body, they'll usually give you whatever colour ram tubes you want. In that case, just get the clear anodised ones, and use a pair of filter socks like in the link above.

There was a guy on Ausrotary a while ago who modified a standard intake to fit over a Weber carb, so it is possible. The ram tubes help with air flow, so I'd leave them on there. I'm pretty sure the guy on Ausrotary did this.

well ive set myself a goal to mess around with two parts a day....that way i figure when i get around to assembling it after im done with the body everything will be ready and up to standard....so today ive taken apart the tail lights as the lenses are weathered and the gaskets are stuffed letting everything from dirty/water and spiders inside....there was a few spider carcass's inside :)....ive washed them in good old morning fresh and scotch brighted the out sides with matting paste and cleared the lense's with 2k clear to make them look new again....and these are the reg plates old got for it :)

What colour is the car going to be?

im not a fan of white.....but unfortunatley id like to keep the car original so white it is :(...although the white it is now is incorrect....the real white is an oche shade(more dirty)

Watching this thread with interest :) I still remember your yellow R34 GTR refinishing thread - I expect this one to be just as good!

im glad to hear i have at least one dedicated watcher :) the gtr rebirth was indeed quite a deep and lengthy exercise,and it was a while ago(7 years????)and yes i still have the old yellow peril,but

as stated with this one im a bit happier coz i hope the finished thing will be worth more money :D

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
