Over the weekend, for Skywagon I made an exhaust shield for the Extractors. (Doubles as a BBQ.)

After messing round with castor arms on the Wags and finding 2 different size bush spacer dealies in there, I put 2 same size ones in.

Got a Re alignment this arvo and suddenly my steering wheel is straight and much less Tramlining. :woot: Much Better.

Received in the mail today (All from 1 Ebay seller)...

2 RB30 AFMs, 1 Coil, Brand New Eagle Sparkplug Leads and a 12 pack of New KLG Sparkplugs.

Installed LED Rear brake lights, Indicators and number plate lights... The color in the brakes and indicators is so much more vibrant. Looks better than new!

Just waiting on some hoses and then i will tidy all the hoses

you can go to speciality fasteners they have good stuff. You can probably do it yourself if you do it slow. If you snap any buy a reverse drillbit about half the size the diameter for the bolt. soak it in release agent a few days before you remove it but you cant drive coz it'll heat it up again.

Installed a blitz return flow today. Great kit, real easy to install. Only cutting required was some trimming of the front bar

Oooh.. Nice Work. :D

How's it feel to drive? More power? Response slower or not?

I felt a big difference in power / airflow when I put in the R34 GTT smic after the stocker...

Changing from the GTT to the ARC smic was not so noticeable.

Year I think maybe I've lost a bit down low, gained a little mid range but it's definitely freed up top end.

Another supporting mod done. Been talking to dvs Jez lately, hopefully POWER :woot: isn't too far away :D

Nice work Chris

Will give that a try maybe next in line and if not then just give it to a exhaust shop to do it.

Today i tidy the engine bay a little and got rego :banana:

    • 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
