So I take it the workshop doors be open on Monday? If they are and I'm not too rooted from the weekend, I'll grab the trailer and make a trip up to yours for the bumper etc to get it out of your way.

Back into it this week and a GTR recevied some enduro preparation.

Front and rear diff coolers

Transfer case cooler and a cooler for the seq hollinger.

The coolers all have air guides to prevent damage and to force air towards the core.

Weve used top shelf tilton pumps and they are being controller by independant temp switches in each diff etc.

The car also got a rather large fuel cell and fuel system revamp with a dry break filler and tank venting for fast fills and 0 fuel spilling.

Photos of the tank latter once the boot is finished off.

Next week have the insight motorsports S2000 to re cage and an EVO 7 in for a mild steel cage.

On average a basic half starts at $660 and can go up to $1300.

A full cage starts at $2400 and can go a high as you like.

Most full cages people opt for a few extra bars over a basic cage and they end up spending around $3000.

The majority of half cages end up around the $990 mark once you add things like harness bar, double diagonals etc.

Just a quick mention for a heap of people who have pm'er and emailed.

I'm closing off orders this coming Friday the 16th.

Orders placed and paid for before Friday will be completed on time. For a week or two after the 16th I wot be taking orders.

We are planning a renovation of the workshop to further increase the fabrication equipment we can fit on the ground level. New mezzanine floor is being put up to store the supercars on which will double floor space for fab work.

Expected down time will be 7-10 days but for guys who are needing sumps and other components urgently get in this week.

I was actually looking at a photo of the "big bannana" in coffs harbor just before.

The nanna is ever so slightly larger than the Vw kombi,

That friggin trailer is way larger than the kombi. there is a new bigger banana, we just need merchandise now!!

    • 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
