So I may/may not have something else in the works. :whistling:

These wheels/tyres have done around 5000kms from new.

The wheels were from a short run in 5x114.3. Seem to be really popular in the US for the BMW crew and were really hard to get in this stud pattern, size and colour. I don't believe they are still being made in this sizing so. Happy to be proven wrong, but I haven't seen another set in Oz!

Perfect size for the M35's I reckon, and means my speedo runs nearly perfect at 100kmh. (can't actually remember the speed and my old man's GPS is 250km's away).

Wheels:

Avant Garde M310

Hyper Silver

19x9.5+20

5x114.3

No gutter rash!

Tyres:

Kuhmo KU31

245/40 R19

This package set me back well over $3000 just a few months ago.

Looking to sell for $2750.

Remind us what suspension you're running with this? Did you need to lip the guards to avoid rubbing? Wondering if this is a wife-approved combo.

I'm running BC BR's, mainly just so I could tweak the height.

The guards are lipped. I did the front and rears since my mate had a guard roller handy, however Chris (who runs the same combo) and Ben (his brother) in Sydney tell me that you don't need to bother with the rears.

My wife drives with this setup, and to give you an idea, she refuses to even try driving a manual and probably has never broken a speed limit in her life :laugh: . Up close it looks awesome but from further away it just has a tough factory wagon look (in my opinion) - doesn't look too aggressive at all, so neither of us have ever felt like the cops are thinking about pulling us over. The only response we've had from them was a thumbs up from one once. :thumbsup:

So what have you got in the works to replace them?

Everything is completely on hold at the moment. >.<

Moved house this weekend, car has kind of taken a back seat for a bit. That said, I'm thinking about heading down the "murdered out" path. :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
