Hi Nathan, I'm going to wildly guess that your last name is Wong, funny because I have a friend named Nathan Wong...who has a S15 but no GTR ahha.

Great looking car, what mods are on it? Which part of Sydney are you in? members will definitely say hi with a wave, or a flash!

Thanks for the warm welcomes :) first mod I think are hids xD gotta source the ballasts that got taken off when conpliancing the car, if not might buy HID kit, anyone got other suggestions? And I think the importer modded the wiring too to fit this globe, shit globe =/

yeah looks like your headlights got nice and chopped up during compliance. random stab in the dark but if you can afford a GTR i think you might be able to afford this: go and get custom projector headlights off EVOXENON (just google him, or look on facebook) - he does these very VERY nice custom headlights. or you could have a go at doing them yourself - buy the morimoto projector headlight kits!

At work atm but will defs check it out, so these are the whole headlight arnt they, not just ballast and globe? Might not go to that much of a hassle =/ might just get a hid kit xD if I get the custom headlight the adjustor will still work?

yes they are the whole headlight BUT as i said you can just buy the ballast and globe and put it in yourself (with a bit of modification if you're comfortable with). Not too sure on the headlight adjustor part..does it work now? if so i can't see too much of a problem with why it wouldn't after some customs!

Quick update: Havent dont much with car, just usual wash, but there has been a problem that the previous owner said it would randomly stall, that being said it happened, but whilst I was driving sometimes it didnt want to go no matter how hard I stepped on the accelerator, and when it did stall at the lights, i tried cranking it over and it wouldnt start until i pressed the lock and unlock button on the car remote, we first thought it was the immobiliser, turns out it wasnt, then we thought it was the key barrel cuz the key could be pulled out it was so smooth, so we used the spare keys, problem still persisted, then made me thought, could be this control unit thing that came with the car, so took it down to IS motorsport for indy to look at and he pulled it out and car hasnt done this random stalling and losing power issue again :)

The culprit :)

indy said that the guy who installed it had wrong settings so that would have affected it, so happy car runs normal :) next up is replacing clutch :) asked for a quote on a HD clutch kit with flywheel too, or might stick with OEM, will have to see :)

Until next time

    • 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
