Thought I would do a little write up as a thank you to the guys down at Exceller Steering.

A quick disclaimer, I am in no way affiliated with them, nor work for them, etc.

Last year I purchased one of SydneyKid's suspension kits and after a bit of time finally got all the pieces together ready for someone more skilled than myself to install and set everything up. The car was first taken to Bruce, a friendly bloke btw, just before Christmas. Unfortunately due to the workload (as you would expect around that time) no work was done on my car - hardly a bad thing in my books as if Bruce had started and was unable to finish the work, I would have had no car for the Christmas break. Something I was grateful for.

Now this brings me forward to January where the car made a return visit. I received a phone call on the Friday afternoon of that week informing me on the status of the car and whether I needed it for the weekend. Bruce still wanted to fine tune a few things and do another road test before returning the car but if I needed the car he would have it ready. As I was in no rush, I let the Bruce hold onto the car a little while longer.

Next week rolls by and I'm called up by Bruce letting me know things are all good and the car is ready. When I get down to the shop, the work on the car is explained to me including some of the parts that weren't used (extra camber kit was not required, etc), all the old parts were put in boxes or wrapped up in bubble wrap to be placed into the car (thankfully all in the boot) and was then told to come back after things have settled down, where they'd measure everything up again and make adjustments as necessary - no extra charge.

So, this is a thank you to Bruce and the guys at Exceller Steering for the work and care taken with the car (and to SydneyKid for his patience in my emails!).

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
