Tail light bulb was out so changed em all. Went for a drive out the usual. Point hut crossing, tidbinbilla, cotter, uriarra area. Been too long since I've done that. Always a blast! :woot:

Front bar got hammered by the driveway at Maacas Charnwood.

2 cracks, loose mesh, and a dent in the oil filter.

Faaaark, i should stop driving it around town, im just wrecking it.

Its heaps happier living in my shed getting fixed and modified.

Hmmm.... a mini bull bar and bash plate just at the bottom of the front bar.... maybe that would work.

Then i can gouge out their driveway and watch the sparks fly.

Yeah thats the way to go, time for some welding.

That's a bad one mate. See all the grooves in it.

Can hit on the way in and out.

I take it slow and sideways. Even Standard cars bottom out.

soldered in the new RCA head thingo and due to wash it, had a mud storm this week and it hasn't seen water since.. im going to give it a really good wash before going out to robs place... don't want anyone to see my car this dirty!!

what do you mean getting there.... im, trying to hide my erection ;)

Still not tidy enough and im removing some of the items in there. POD filters are going. New Fuel pressure reg (one that will suit E85) and new hoses.+much more.

the engine was apart and it cost like $400 to paint it. May as well lol

Car is getting hotter than normal (above half way) I presume that's not normal. Trying to bleed the cooling system of any air, still no good. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Blocked Radiator.

Suggest Natrad ^ Could be many things

- When was the last time it was flushed and new coolant

- Thermostat

- Water pump

- Loose belt

- head gasket

- air in the system

- bad tune

- warmer weather

- hard driving/long drive

- leak

Hows the oil temp ?

-

Skyline gauges are generally an indication Ie. 0 50% 100%

So yeah I'd try a full flush and replace coolant. If it is still an issue get it looked at

    • 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).
