Hi everyone.

I am very new to Skylinesaustralia and new to owning a skyline.

Anyway I am going to start a build thread so I have somewhere other than facebook to upload photos of my car.

Currently my car is sitting in the garage as I am waiting for an engine, gearbox, clutch, tailshaft, r32gtr bumper with lip and grill and all mounts for engine and gearbox to arrive. You may the r32 4 door that I own, it use to belong to sam and it had a 25/30 in it and had the number plates 327axi.

I will be running the rb25det completely stock for a while with just a front mount and maybe manifold. But once the engines run in and I have some money again I will be putting the turbo setup I got off Sam on and getting a plenum, fuel rail, injectors, a decent computer and a tune.

I will leave you with some photos of the car as it sits at the moment

Thanks to Sam the interior and exterior is in excellent condition.

So a lot has happened in the last few months, for starters I picked up some coilovers and then got my lca's extended 25mm and put some lock spacers in.

I then got a wheel alignment and went to a morning sesh back in March. Had heaps of fun and learnt a lot about my car.

After that I found some ssr mesh wheels for sale for cheap so I picked them but realised the fronts wouldn't fit with my upgraded brakes.

I decided to buy some top camber arms for the front and run some bolt on spacers to make the fronts work.

I then went to the april morning sesh which was heaps of fun and my car went great all day.

Today I put some new coil packs in and decided to compression test the motor just to see and to my surprise its 150 over all 6 so hopefully it stays that way.

Next on the list to do is pick up some m spec skirts and then get my front bar, rear bar and skirts painted. Then later on down the track I will be getting a gt2860rs and 6 boost manifold, injectors, computer and a tune.

Thanks for looking, look forward to seeing what everyone thinks and hearing any advice.

    • 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).
