yeah i was watching a movie last night and felt like my eyes were normal for a bit lol.

okay not much progress, besides booking it in for a tune with a very very well known RB workshop who visits melbourne here and there :)
so all that is left is get some money together for the ID1000s and fix the earth issue in the dash that is stopping the climate control and head unit from turning on

Haha thanks man, when you're at the bottom the only way out is up! Drove the car to SYDNEY, from Melbourne. Got there, no issues. Got back home last night, no issues. Like a f**king champion

had a photoshoot lined up.
besides little things like belt squeels etc, the car was perfect.
washed it etc on friday night. it was looking pretty as ever :)
picked up my panel beater and off we went, to meet the photo dude.
long story short, smokes billowing out the driver side of the bonnet. have a look at the PFC and everything is in order.
da f**k?

pull over, mate pops the bonnet. f**kING FIRE!
THE FUSEBOX IS ON FIRE!
like a man on a mission, zayn empties his sprite into the fusebox and puts out the fire.
we stood there and laughed, and laughed and laughed, and maybe called a towtruck. but laughed again,
it could have been SO MUCH WORSE.

fast forward to this week end.
new bodyloom is in. i dont know why it caught fire, but i suspect its the bodgy wiring job by the previous owner.
should be good to go on saturday :)

soz. was up watching ross kemp docos.

booked in for a tune at Racepace.
the excitement is mounting. the car has been running beautifully, and it seems like this motor is very very torquey. all it wants to do is kill tyres lol

Untuned... Smokes tyres... Those two should never be in the same paragraph. :domokun:

You got injectors yet? I haven't heard from you for a quote mate... The Xspurt 1000's are on special at the moment. ;)

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
