it was when I first got the car, wasn't running! the radiator was snapped in half

I also had to do the lower control arm in mine when I got it, they are a bitch!!

and rob, my rpm stops every now and again, any ideas? my mates 33 did the same thing

Somewhere between the engine and your eyeballs. :P

I'd try checking for loose wires / dodgy earthing. Could be in behind the cluster etc...

Not hard to pull out.

(once you've done it a few times) lol

Fibreglassing repairs today, all done.

The instructions say mix a certain amount so you can get it on before it hardens.

DIY Miks painting skills mean i can mix the whole tin and get it on good, well before it starts to harden. job done. :thumbsup:

I was feeling so good until i remembered... the only way to get fibreglass off is a cold shower. :O:blink:

Strongly recommend not letting your Skylines get so low on fuel that the fuel light comes on.

+1

I don't allow my GTR get below a qtr of a tank.

Listen or learn.

But just don't breeze over good advice, especially if you have modified your car.

got no mods, well no power mods, and I still don't let it go under a quarter

I have never had my fuel light on, and the gauge has been like 3mm under the empty line... and I sure as hell don't want to see if the bulb is broken

Make up your mind

I just made sure the intake is the same height as stock, and while i was there i could see how it gets the last bit of fuel.

Kinda dodgy baffles try to keep it near the pump, but a good corner or steep hill and it would run away and youd get air in the line.

After pulling it out and f-ing around trying to re-seal it, i still smell fuel inside the car sometimes. Have to do it again better this time. DIY LOL :huh:

Make up your mind

haha, it was heaps under when I got the car, didn't drive it, got a jerry can... im talking about I wont let it under while driving :P

but good spotting :/

As I said I've seen my fuel light come on once in 10 months. I normally fill up when it hits E, but my sender is not correct and I can only fit in 40-45 litres

It's like fuel cut.

It can do engines in if it occurs at the wrong time

Bit dramatic I know, but it happens.

(your better of stopping spark than stopping fuel)

    • 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
