Actually, Dunc;

Can you check to see if they'll have some various tyre sizes on the night? I'll be looking at getting 595's for the commo soon, and if I can get them at this night it'd be awesome ;)

If not, I'll do it the old-fashioned way (via doofington)

Hi guys,

For those who don't know me... I'm Mick and I look after the marketing and motorsport for Federal Tyres NSW. I actually work for National Tyre Wholesalers and have done for quite a few years now, so I will be the guy giving the presentation along with one of our NSW brand managers - Trent.

We will try to make this Friday night as interesting and fun as possible while still being educational. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you, having a few cold beverages and snacks and hopefully helping most who attend to leave with a better understanding of tyres.

BTW - Sorry but we won't be selling any tyres on the night :)

Cheers

Mick

(but we are in the warehouse....so you guys distract him and I'll back the ute up ;))

Anyone who wants to order tyres can always do so via Doof :D

How does it work on Friday, just rock up and park the car and walk inside. Sorry first event at SAU for me can someone give me some quick tips. Sorry if I sound like an idiot and a complete newbie.

    • 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
