Heh v/nice car man...

Also saw a white r34 citybound along north east road in front of the OG hotel/OG oval. Driver gave me thumbs up, i was too busy perving on the car to react

-D

spotted a few dark r33's at lobethal on sat nite while i was taking a spin round looking at lights

didnt recognize any of em so i didnt stop, anyone from here go?

hey i live in lobethal and christmas lights is shit just got my car bck from shop last thursday and been workin since havent even had time to strech the legs yet and got to go like 50 all the way from woodside to lobey turn off then wait like 15 minutes just to get up my hill and do a full detour due to traffic restrictions it blows, except for all the nice cars around :(

Spotted what I reckon was Darkhorse's black R33 parked on Rundle street at lunch today.

Also spotted a blue R34 GTT heading up Grenfell St about 12:45. Had a GTR badge :blink: pity apart from that was nice. Wasn't bayside blue though, looked like it was repainted in ford Blueprint with some sort of pearl?

Lee with a kit etc?

Would be the one ive been seeing alot lately, normally cruises around with a hot black 34 and a white 33 with decals. Not long brought over from Sydney from memory. Nice car. Its more of a glitter-blue.

Yep sounds like it Flick. Had kit, mags etc. I only saw it from about 40m away so didnt get a real close look, but the R badge on the back still stuck out :laugh:

Is it a 260 Steve? I saw a black one like Ben's in Synergy, maybe they sold it?

Went into our favourite tyre place today only to find that Chris has sold up and gone :laugh: Don't like the new people there unfortunately, Adam is still there however, top bloke ;)

awwwwww I was going to see Chris this week to get some new rear tyres - my rears are bald in the middle - not sure how that happens :laugh: .... damn , now where local do we go for tyres?

pretty sure the one i say Luke was just rs260 wing or copy

no idea about tyres, chris did tell me i can ring him for tyres and he cant get tyres but cant fit dont know how reliable he will be on this

Run less pressure Andrew, if its getting bald in the middle then its got too much air in there. Which means your not even seeing all the rubber on the ground!!

unless he is doing uber-burnouts like the top fuelers and the wheels are spinning soooo fast that they distort and all that hits the ground is the centre :laugh:

    • 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).
