yeah I agree Nick, that black V35 is bloody awesome .... when I mention to people that I am thinking of getting one, they all say they hate them and I shouldn't do it! Go figure .... I think they are pure horn!

Hey Matty,

The silver 4 door was me and my new bus, have just got SA Rego for it. The white 33 was off of here to but i cannot remeber the owners name. We were coming back from the charity criuse for Luekemia looking for a place to stop and get a drink. :laugh:

nope......

at this stage i couldn't care less if they are out 70k

anyway back to the real cars

had a 33 sedan (white) in at work the other day, the owner was looking at a jeep/chrysler/dodge have to wait and see if it got traded, looked neat, m spec front bar and a rear wing like your steve.

spotted a midnight R32 on hancock road before we both did the double take :)

not sure if it was oosh

and ways pulling into my suburb i hit the clutch and heard the peddle make a funny pop noise and it felt a little funny after just the peddle any 1 got any ideas

Spotted a silver or grey HR31 on Salisbury Highway just north of the railway underpass at approx. 9:45am this morning. If you're reading this, I was in the black 4 door R31. :)

Thought i saw Sambo33 today at the servo on Richmond Rd, but now i think about it it could have been someone similar, UNLESS he has got new wheels for his car??? Was about to pull up next to him to notice that there was a female in the passenger seat and no Sammy(if it was him)!

I was in that U-Park last Saturday night Brenton - but not tonight. And you wouldn't believe how hard Xmas shopping sucked at the Plaza tonight - ferals all over the shop (more than usual lol).

Spotted Mel and Pawley's Stagea at TTP carpark tonight - wtf are you guys doing leaving that thing for ppl to steal/break into at TTP? (We took the Accord Euro as always and left the 34 at home) :(

    • 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).
