Okay cool, so minimum has been reached.

I place the order Friday next week (that's the 4th November) in case there are a few others that want in and will PM you guys my account details.

Please make sure that your $122.55 has been deposited prior to 2nd to ensure I receive it by the 4th.

Great job Cam!thumbsup.gif Well done on the group buy; looking forward to a PM, I'll get the funds across ASAP

Great work getting this GB together.

I've just transferred the money.

Cheers, Russel (Rosella)

Hey guys, I have only 6 sets completed and shipped as of today and am expecting the remaining kits tomorrow or Friday.

I will ship them out as quickly as I can (I already have the brackets sitting here waiting), so apologies to those of you whom didn't receive a PM with a tracking number today.

The first 6 sets were shipped to the guys who paid up the quickest.

Cheers,

Cam

Damn you Cam!rant.gif

After lying in bed trying to go to sleep for nightshift, knowing that my bonnet strut kit was mere meters away in the garage; I relented and installed it.nyaanyaa.gif

Seriously, the only way this kit could be easier to install; would be if it actually came with a little man in the bag to fit it for you. It's such a good fit! Couldn't have taken more than10 minutes.

It took me longer to find a 5.5mm drill bit than it did to get the struts on and the bonnet back down.thumbsup.gif

Thanks again mate; no more bashed noggin, and the bonnet opens far enough to allow the overhead light in my garage to plumb the depths of my engine bay! How did you know? How!

The only thing I added was a 5mm flat washer under the nut on the lower mount; but that's 'cos I'm a pedantic bastard...

If you don't think you need this kit; you are wrong.

There are now only two kinds of people in the world; those who have gas struts on their Stagea bonnets; and those who will...

Haha! Thanks Dale. Dunno if it is the kit or lack of sleep that has you so excited, but glad you like 'em.

Hopefully today or tomorrow Scott.

I'll let you know and work out a time to come around... or you could take the road trip down to me of course (and bring the dog this time :P)

Sharon wont like being called that Cam... >_<

Hey Cam,

Kit turned up today around lunch time just after you sent through the correct tracking number.

Dunno if I'm gunna have the same luck as Dale did in getting it installed.

Got the weekend to do it, but rain is forecast. I don't have a garage >_<

Once again, great work in getting this together. :cheers:

As Molly says, do ya selves a favour and buy it!!!

You'll really appreciate the extra space when working on your car.

Installed mine this arvo... Was a breeze. I installed them so the bonnet was the same height as I would be using the hook but that all depends your your own preference.... Thanks again cam. Exerlent work...

    • 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).
