got a metal inlet/exhaust gasket kit, few speedflow fittings, oil pump and gasket ahead of the weekend. No fkn way im gonna be pulling this motor out again lol. On that topic, anyone got a black heater hose kit for 32 gtr laying round?

All good man, Im really after the hoses under the plenum as i vaguely recall someone telling me they split in their old age...

Or maybe after watching your car piss coolant at the calendar cruise i realised that sucks and i'd rather not have to pull the motor again :)

split dump is fouling the wastegate for some reason.

dunno why... it worked fine for ages, now i cant grind enough out to make it work, ill grind through.

wtf happened? dunno.

Time to get a bellmouth dump, maybe all new system.

7 hours and no luck...

you need a break, eat & drink for brain power, do some reading on the forums, and the solution/problem will become clearer.

We had the works !

Drinks and Rob (Not a Pulsar) on the phone giving us guidience, also Google was a bit of a mate on the night.

A lot of it was testings up the road so pulling in and out = sucked. But, some boys on SAU reckon they've got the fix. My Spark plugs may not be "gapped". So will check that and HOPEFULLY it'll stop misfiring.

Trying to figure out Overheating when sitting above 110kph..

Fresh coolant and clean, no luck..

New thermostat and more coolant. time to test again, fingers crossed.

Slight change in temps across radiator, so maybe some minor blockage there, look into a proper flush next, or just upgrade it as I want to do that anyway..

got motor out, changed all the water hoses and inlet gaskets, removed the remainder of the wtin turbo water and vacume lines that arent used and tidied up the engine bay a bit. pretty productive, not as much as id hoped though :/

no wheels for me tomorrow so yall have fun without me

Are you painting them another colour?

I really wouldn't mind painting mine

I was considering painting the centers Black but after the enormous sh!tfight I've had stripping them I might leave them as is.

I do like the result alot. You reckon I should paint Black or not?

Much better than the uneven goldish crud they had when purchased. (SAU Third or Fourth Handies)

I have painted some R32 GTS-t rims before and it was a heap of fun. Not bad result either.

Looks good. Painting those wheels black may be too unnoticeable. How much did all the stuff you need cost? Im convinced I must do this now.

Any ideas what colour wheels would suit maroon?

So far the paint stripping exercise has cost me less than $40. Paint stripper gel and wire brushes. I bought some brushes to use on a drill but they got little use. Hand job FTW!!!

The painting of the GTS-t rims was all done with cheap cans from Supercheap (except the primer) but if I do it again, I would use better paint like engine enamel as it should be tougher and longer lasting.

OT. I washed my car and drove it to "WHEELS" at the Racecourse. With the wind and dust, it is dirtier now than before I washed it! :(

Show pics of car with rims you want to paint for colour choice suggestions... Black, Gold or Bronze should be good with Maroon though. :)

    • 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).
