Spotted 6:40am this morning on west tce heading home from work a black 33 S2 having a look, i gave a wave then he booted it for about 50 mtrs, dont know why...cant just wave back in acknowledgement?

Bah...does anyone know what they compared and what came out tops overall ?

Surprisingly the STi came out on top. The R34GTR obviously had seriously more power and was faster in a straight line. And the Evo7 is a go-kart on steroids. But when Martin weighed up the prices vs performance vs grey import issues the STi came out the winner. Obviously the GTR is the best car, but at the time it was worth $102k (what John sold it for) so didn't represent the best 'value' overall. I think John sold the Evo7 for something like $65k too which counted against it compared with the cheaper locally available STi.

I will scan in the article for you tomorrow when I get time and you can have a read. Surely they wouldn't get a copyright knickers in a not over a 4 year old article, so I will risk it.

    • 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).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
