So hello there! I'm a proud owner of an R32 GTS4 which i picked up last weekend and currently getting things ready for the road.

Can't wait to get into it and take it for a descent spin around Brissy. Got afew things to do first and hopefully by the end of the week i'll have it on the road.

Just got the 32 back from the mechanics. I took possession of my baby on Saturday From John and i"m very pleased with the purchase. Thanks John 2thumbsup.gif . I knew it wasn't gonna be just the boots that need fixing and got my new baby at a good price. Roughly adding it all up, it isn't too bad considering it's a 1989 model and the repairs been done by the previous owner. So it worked out well so far. I hope no more gremlins pop up and set me back further cause i just want to go for a cruise in my new baby. Almost std with coilovers, 18's and boost controller but running std boost. It's even got a std side mount IC and std automatic front lower lip.

Here's a list of what i need done for RWC on my baby. I

* Exhaust front pipe replaced ( has a descent size hole on it)

* Clutch master and Slave cylinder

* Mount the pod filter and get a cover for it

* Steering rack boots and wheel alignment

* LHF Tie rod end and rack end

* LHF Lower control inner ball joint

* Front CV shafts ( still good, might only need boots replaced)

* All 3 wiper blades

* Engine clean up under vehicle

Diognostic Fault eng11( crank angle sensor or circuit ) reseted this morning by Rolscar Mechanical, Darra on Station Rd. He didn't mention the 4wd system but will get that done asap.

ohmy.gif I didn't expect that much stuff to be stuffed but if it needs to, well you then have to. huh.gif It ain't that bad, just starting to go.

Just hope it ain't gonna be over $700 to fix it ( wishfull thinking). Does anyone know how much it'll set me back?

I've got it booked into DRIVELINE SERVICES AUSTRALIA tomorrow and was quoted $300 for all the boots fitted but will ask them to get whatever they can do fom the list above done.

Does anyone have parts that i can buy for the repairs? happy.gif Would really like a front pipe and even the cat too, i suppose i can pull it off my ma61 7mgte but it's custom and i'll have to modify it to fit ( couldn't be stuffed atm, just want to drive it :lol: ). Any tips anyone? smile.gif any help is appreciated with thanks in advance. Cheers

BTW what kinda oil will i need to use for the 4WD reservior in the rear boot? Any oil preferrence?

      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).
