No worries Leon! I think everyone has theirs now, and I'm doing the rounds for the local guys at the moment.

Mine are going in tomorrow, can't wait to get it all aligned!

Yep, I posted updates in the thread in the group buy section. Just organising to get them to all the Adelaide guys at the moment.

Last of the order arrived yesterday!

I was telling my alignment guy about the 'Control Arm Upper-Inner Eccentric Kit - SPF3297K' & he asked how they were adjusted. Similar ones he has worked on in the past had some way moving the eccentric tube to give the desired setting.

I can't see how that is done on our Superpro ones. Do they get installed at the maximum adjustment available & then finely adjusted some other way or is their something I'm missing?

Scrap that question. Looked up the web site & says instructions are enclosed :blush: . These only do +/- 0.5 degrees correction so it appears you just set & forget. Happy days.

Yep. Seems to work well, but I guess you need the adjustment depending on the alignment of other components and how worn they are, so you can adjust to the right deg and set and forget.

Mine isn't getting driven at the moment, just too much on, but next month I'll be replacing the rubber and getting it realigned, because while it feels good I'm not happy with the alignment. Rubber is stuffed, and camber worn, so it still pulls no matter what the alignment guys do.

    • 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
