Good to hear mate :) it's funny how it always turns out to be something so simple....

Except sometimes when it's just horrifically bad...like incomprehensibly f**ked hahaha

Last time my car died: 4 cracked pistons, 0-5 PSI in those. 30 PSI in 1 and 80 in the other. Cracked valves and scored cylinders. Oh and Piston rings had melted to the pistons with the tops of the pistons melted. Head had some slight damage as well. To fix this bore out block 40 thou, New forged pistons and rods, Complete head rebuild. Since i was there did a full fuel system upgrade amongst other things.

Had the car back for 7 days after an 8 month rebuild. Blew a turbo. replaced them and got new boost controller and a couple of other little things.

WHO NEEDS MONEY!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Oh and im still not done. Need to do AFMs for more POWAHHH down the track.

In saying that. After spending the money i did on it. Driving it again.... i Wouldn't change this car for the world.

Edit: Who owns a 32 GTR and gets pissed off when it costs you money. It comes with the car

I have some plumbers crack... but not much.

Im too skinny to have a good crack.

Just wait till you modify yours a bit more Eric. Comes with the territory!

Although for the record, mine's never actually died on me. Only a clutch (factory clutch down to the rivets!) failure stopped her from moving!

Better than something major and expensive like a fried ECU haha

Just replaced got a warranty on it. The ONLY things that are not covered under a warranty on my car (engine related) are the AFMs rofl. Next my gearbox will poop itself.

    • 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
