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.

    • 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
