okay without a vague as f**k one liner.
booked the car in for a tune at racepace a couple of weeks ago and dropped it off.
upon arrival, my alternator regulator shit itself and overcharged the battery, causing the battery to boil up. lucky. so while its there its getting a reconditioned alternator, as well as a decat :)
pick it up next saturday, and im pissing myself with excitement.
best self birthday present ever,

alright my niggas.
some bitter sweet news, yet again.
first things first (im the realest), The boys at Racepace were AMAZING! i cant fault their service, in four days they completed the works required, and had a solid crack at tuning the car, many now know as, the big blue kunt.
unfortunately, the person that previously worked on it, who i wont mention from now on, did a questionable job, so have to fix his mistakes and sort out some serious boost leaks before we can continue and hit the numbers we were expecting.
that being said though.
the car now has a steady idle, happily idles at 900rpm, is whisper quiet, even with a decat and drives so smoothly now, i want to drive it anywhere.
i f**king love these guys!
so next up, is all cold side and hotside pipes off to go over ALL THE LINES!

Should have gone to Racepace in the first place.

At least it's fixed now.

about 200kw.
fun and zippy, an AU falcon thought i was trying to race him and mashed the pedal next to me, so i mashed the pedal as well, in 3rd... and passed him at around 3200rpm.. LOL

in other news, it was my birthday on the 1st, and the fellas surprised me with some new numberplates! wrapt

update time.
have been insanely busy over the last few months so, not much was done to the old girl.
my mates bought me some numberplates for my birthday, i bought some wheels and basically fixed all the little things on the car that annoyed me.
now have a working ciggarette lighter, head unit and heater.
all is looking good, but we have some HUGE plans for next year, which will certainly blow a few minds.

itll be stupid, but sometimes, enough is enough.

Looking good. Kicking myself - Had to hop back in the car and leave in a rush at the Daylesford cruise, didn't get a change to take a look at this.

    • 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
