SKA drive my car down this is a ORDER pleeeeeeease

Hmmm yeah umm I was wanting to bring mine own to get the surrounds of the side indicators painted, but guess there will always be next time :rofl:

Yeah sure spot me train fare into the city tell me where to go and I'm there!

I think return trip from beenleigh costs like $5 or sumthin so I can prolly cover that if you want, PM me times and where to go and I can meet you whereever, hopefully close to a train stop :D

Anyone well versed in removing side indicators, I might remove them and bring them along get em painted, but bit wary about trying to remove them as I do not have any tools.

Either that or when we come down someone runs me up the road home so I can grab mine and bring it in? Sounds like a lot of stuffing round though, might just leave it till next time :)

I just wanna bring the greenies to show off :)

PM Me and I am free all day sunday :D

Hey.. im just posting this for mindflux .. "hey joey, i got my brakes done so im right to get them painted, however timing is a little bad as i have to do some running around on the weekend.. will you be running another workshop in possibly 4 weeks?'

Not trying to rain on anyones parade here... But I am installing Shane's SAFCII on Sunday... ATM I had planned to do it at my house...

Assuming there is power at Umart, we might come down and do it there... Once it's finished, I'd be happy to have a look at anyone elses electronic installs...

Your thoughts?

well i am still keen will confirm tomorow though, ska if you like and if you are still keen to drive me down, i will spot you your fair lol, um and my car is right next to toowong train station so thats sweet, and if you like we could swing past your place to pick up your lights if you get them off.

    • 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).
