just for the Shiggles :laugh:

but yeah it's so damn close on colour and it's sporting the same front bar too.

Wish I had my engine out when I resprayed it. looking at how good this one is :/

Lulz were had.

Now to start saving Mwahaha

Tokyo Auto Salon

Checked the head tension today, all good.

Found a small hose had come off, the tiny one under the throttle body. could be my boost problem.

Made a tool for the head bolts, very simple, just chopped a 10mm allen key.

Pic wont load.... anyway i ended up with a 10mm hex shaft and just used a 10mm socket on the torque wrench.

i just finished building one that really couldnt be registered and sold it and bought a WRX as a fun daily with the R33 being a track car seeing as it would cost me a little to much than i would like to get it re registered..........

But now i am considering selling it as the wife is getting a little fed up with the car yard I call a front lawn.

Most I have ever put in mine is about the same at 1.57 a litre. Too close to the bottom to think about it :(

Being $1.71 a litre at the moment it would cost from near empty close to $120

Be nice to go back to a dollar a litre

Nostalga break

I'm so old, when I started pumping fuel it was about 11c-14c a litre.

Shoulda heard people whinge then - Bahahaha

and that paid my wages to check oil, water, tyres, pump fuel and clean windscreens as well as rent on the site and the fuel plus the profit for the owner - WTF!

Nothing like a public holiday for plenty of time to work on the car :)

Just spent this morning cleaning out the afm because I think she's running a little rich. Afm was nice and black and whatnot. Sprayed her out with some brake cleaner and its looking brand new :)

Removed the manual bleed boost controller and set up the standard system so that I can pass my second rego inspection :)

And now to get started on tightening the right handbrake.. 5 minutes in, calipers off now for the rotor.. Which requires getting off that big ass 36mm nut. Turns out biggest we've got here is 32, biggest everyone we have contacted has 32. Supercheap only sells up to 32 and nothing else is open on a public holiday.. Why nissan why!! Still waiting to hear back from a few people about sockets. But all in all, been a not too bad day..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
