would I be better off bolting my fire extinguisher in? It's currently tek-screwed into my transmission tunnel

Yes. 2 x M6 high tensile bolts with washers. Easy...

That we wouldn't care about so much, however i would suggest something like velcro-ing it down so it doesnt get trashed..

The big picture is anything loose that can impede the driver or the operation of the car is a no no. Things that can get loose in the boot/behind you might not hit you but it can be a fair distraction. Its better to be concentrating on driving than wondering whats flying around back there..

Spare helmets are always a good one. First corner and you scare the crap out of yourself when it flies across the car ;)

With a battery in the boot it would have to be fairly secure in the box and box to floor yeah?

Mine was crap so I am making a decent cage to go into it which will be bolted down tight and a bracket over the battery will that do?

Sounds ok.

Make sure the positive terminal has insulation covering it. Especially if it's close to the metal bracket.

I plan on running some old 13 inch tyres on the back of my ae86. will this be ok?

Why wouldn't they be?

I know I'm cutting it fine but is there still any spots left for a GTS??

First timer here.

Put an entry form in mate. Hold off on payment though. If you get in, you can pay then. If you get in at 3rd on reserve list you're a good chance to get in.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
