So I had a heater hose under the inlet go on me the other week in traffic. I completely cooked the engine with so much steam coming out the bonnet I had trouble steering down a slip road. It turns out with steam whistling through the system I cracked the overflow bottle. Have you got anything to replace the std reservoir. I may cut and tape up a breather.overflow setup that you can go to town on for me?!?!?

No Ti gear knobs sorry. Solid Ti billets are extremely expensive and rare.

I'm also not tooled to machine it.

No problem at all Roy.

Best to make something up from cardboard chuck it in a box and I'll redo it from alloy plate and send it back.

You shall see it tomorrow, I've just had no time to sit down and invoice anything recently.

About to be released are my new surge tank/pump setups with twin aero motive pumps inside the surge tank, sard style.

Not a problem I'll cancel the invoice.

If anyone wants an R33 undercar surge tank setup for twin 044's I've got one fabbed and ready to pressure test/ post off.

$330 inc gst plus postage charges.

You have a pm.

I don't get on here everyday, the reality is SAU accounts for 10% of my work so I don't always check threads and PM's daily. It's been weekly as of late.

My email is available. Best to contact me via that, or leave a return voice mail.

Any pics of the surge tank Brad? Got a mate that might be interested in one.

Good to see your happy with it.

It's a pretty trick way of doing the washer bottle filler on that can with the filler tube running through the catch can section .

From the top it looks like your putting water into the catch can ;)

    • 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).
