Gear box problems......nope had a slight leak in the gearbox from a leaky seal. and the car has been on jack stands for ages cause he is doing some work to the body work to the front spoiler was too low..... and just got the spoiler resprayed, and the wheels will go into the body shop for a coat of pearl bluey purple paint. (the one that changes all different colours!

anyway that is wat has been happening to the Supra look very sad with no wheels on it no front noise and on jack stands........a classic Toyota! will look sweet when back on the road!

Latest things I've seen here (which may or may not have been here for yonks) were:

-JZA80 supra with crazy heavy metalflake flip paint,

-a nice silver JZA80 with some veilside style stuff and white rims (and no F&F rice like some other Hobart cars...)

-white S13 silvia with black/polish mesh SSR or volk style rims, very drifty looking, maybe a trust style front bar (currently seems to have none)

- and the best the one that makes me drool every time I see it, Passage GTS (4dr pillarless R31)down here, black/charcoal, late R32 ECCS motor and box, twin plate clutch, greddy FMIC, HKS oil cooler, 'mechanical' LSD, JIC damper adjustable coilovers, cusco castor/camber kit, massive exhaust, Bride black/grey drivers seat, sabelt (IIRC) harness.... It came from JMS.

The Black 33 isnt bad looks the goods, except the wing, looked out of place, but very nice all the same.

hehe, ive been offered one 4 free, but i really don't have the time to frig around with all the custom oil feeds to the head, and i am not too confident in many ppl down here working on my cars, tend to do everything myself, but there is only so much u can do.

    • 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).
