Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has had a leaking problem on the attachments for car? mine has had this problem since i got it but as i park underground and it only seems to happen when its parked in a big down pour it hasn't been an issue but i wouldn't mind fixing it anyways.. Any suggestions?

Yes.

Suggestion would be to silicone the hell out of it or remove them and bog up the holes (what I will be doing).

This only is an issue on non-Northshore Prestige cars due to lazy workmanship when installing the roof anchor points.

Why not use the other points on the floor?

Thanks mate, i was wondering if they were something added here during compliance. And i know the guys who complied mine were super dodgy. So many things i know they are meant to do that they didnt. Guess this weekend will include this job now.

Still trying to get a reasonable price on the replacement panels so if you are removing them I will let you know what I come up with (my Nissan dealership couldn't believe the price their system came up with :()

I removed the brackets and used silicone to seal the holes, no leaks now.

Definitely dodgy compliance, and even worse, you pay them to rape your car in the name of safety. lol.

I'll pulled mine out, sent em back to Canberra anonymously telling them to stick it up their cake hole. I then cleaned up the holes, rust proofed them, siliconed and replaced the plastic trim. First mod I did on my previous Axis and this one.

Yes because you'll be using them now Cam... :yes:

The ones in the floor are cargo restraints, not the child tether/latch ones.. Please, please, please do not use them... If you are in an accident, the legal ramifications are not worth thinking about... Same issue as using an isofix or EU approved child seat in AUS.. Please just don't do it... It's like the ADR's BS regulations to protect "Australian Interests"

However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and potentially the EU regs will be allowed from 2014.

I loved the ISOFIX mounts. Had it in my Mazda 3 and worked much better then the stone age ADR approved anchor point/belt combo...

Protecting local interest sounds about right.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
