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!

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

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
