GM have been offering it as an option since 2007 in their northern built trucks. the way they do it though it quite a bit different to the aftermarket setup. add to the fact that most of the aftermarket installers will not (and often do not care) fit all the safety interlocks.

what MEA have done is open a can of worms. there is also a bias on that as the author works for DEI locally..

Yeah chris i know that , to me its like a turbo timer pure wank , sure i would like a cool car in hot days but you know the local scum would think they could steal the car even if they couldnt get two feet in it !! Its not worth broken window

The outdoor show car scene might grab a extra point lol

I want the car that can load the groceries in a down pour via remote haha

At some point it may fall back on the installers shoulders (you shouldnt install it since its a safety hazard ) liability issue? counter sued ?

the aftermarket parts sold that dont have disclaimers informing you a turbo timer is a defect ? that kind of deal and if the installer/ sales person / shop got fined for doing the wrong thing

It would open up a can of worms , selling items not legal for road use in australia? The nanny country lol

We should all drive airbags on wheels with gps control automatic speed sensor for each street which wouldnt work, the same street a block apart changes 2-3 times in speed in adelaide lol

Just think a car shaped like a marshmallow to protect us !!

Conform , succumb and obey lol

think about the CARB EO tags stuck on US based perfomance items. same idea when you look at it from a legal stance.

if we get into the aftermarket parts that do not conform debate then that really opens up a can of worms.

I don't think turbo timer's or Remote starts are pure wank.

Remote start is probably one of the best features of my skylines ;)

Cause when I'm on the shitter before I leave work, I can start my car and know its going to be ready for the daily commute :)

Always nicer to drive a car that has been idling a bit then driving off on a pure cold engine.

It's not like there going to know if you have it, my mate has had one since forever been pulled over heaps and never been seen.

Why would your mate have one on a push bike?

In the morning I start my car before I put my shoes on, and turn it off after I check the mail. Pretty simple...

Not sure about all states but in vic its illegal to have your car running when no one is right there with it. therefor making it a bit of a pointless thing

its a big ? , just like ADR in general state by state, who even knows anymore its a shot in the dark for all mods

its wank factor anyhow

Starting your car and walking two steps away you can be done for "aiding and abeiting "a criminal so watch out , same goes for keys in a car even in your driveway in whoop whoop , police can and will give you a summons for it , my friend got done in his driveway

Exactly - I pop the panel lift door and start the car in the garage every morning 5 minutes before I leave so that when I get out to the car I have 1) a nice and cool/warm cabin (depending on the season) and 2) engine all nicely warmed up - I need to pull out onto an arterial road within 1 minute of leaving my home, so need to give it a bit of stick in order to pull out safely ....

    • 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).
