Yeah the back plastics on mine have plenty of cracks.

That's the reason it keeps coming back.

Tried to use silicone to seal up the cracks but it's not working.

I'll have another check this weekend and see what I can do before purchasing them.

Okay so the timeline starts again.

So after fixing the radiator, rolling the guards, getting the coilovers installed & putting on the rims.

It was here! NATS! WOOOO FARKEN HOOO KARNTS!

I hadn't slept in days because I was so excited.

Got myself a helmet and loaded up the car with some spares just in case.

I pulled up at the nats and found myself a little spot next to Mat Geeteetee and unloaded the car.

Met all my whores from whore town who I hadn't met in person.

Who knew Tailor Made was going to have such a homo haircut haha!

Got the car out on the track and had an amazing time! Didn't have any gauges so I took it fairly easily.

1-2 hot laps and then a cool down lap, this worked well for me and the car didn't give me any issues.

I walked away with a 1.26 which was an okay time for the first time ever tracking the car.

I participated in the track day and the airport drags.

The airport drags was the best fun I have ever had and I think I got like 10 runs or more.

My best time was a 14 seconds flat I do believe.

On the very last run I thought I would give it my all and spent a fair bit on the limited.

Got halfway down the track the battery light came on and the temps shot through the roof.

Popped the bonnet and coolant was everywhere.

After closer inspection I had shredded my fan belt.

Mat was kind enough to go pick me one up and help me change it on the side of the road.

Rob pulled over and had a chat while using his hazards to make sure we didn't get hit

This is where I would like to give a shout out to Rob for his amazing effort.

After getting home I found that we had driven off on Rob and he got back in his car and had a flat battery.

He spent a few hours on the side of the road waiting for the NRMA as we boosted off into the distance.

(Rob I still owe you that drink or 10 mate)

Big thanks to Matt, Carmon & Rob for helping out and keeping company.
I would have been stuck there without you guys.

Ohh and here is a model shot of Josh (Tailor Made) & myself inside the car.

So I cleaned my throttle body a few months ago.

Not thinking I actually cleaned off the sealant around the butterfly.

Could this be the cause of high idle?

How would people go about adding the sealant back and what would you use

I did the same thing and my car idles at 2000rpm now. Makes driving slow nice and easy as you don't have to accelerate.

The sealant is some special crap you have to buy if you really want to fix it. I'm pretty sure it's from tomei.

Source of your whistle?

could possibly be

This could be the reason that you only get it on a certain vacuum

Because it is in a certain position that causes the whistle.

Now just to find out what product I can use.

Some say gasket sealant but I don't want it to get sucked into my engine.

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
