Bryce it's only used for sealing the actual butterfly inside the throttle body.

IF you haven't cleaned the stock stuff off then you have nothing to worry about.

You would think the workshops around here would have something they use.

I texted my mate at Toyota and he is going to check for me.

If I can't find anything then I might just bite the bullet and order some of the stuff.

Check this stuff out guys

Suggested Applications: Valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets

kasko you should try some Hylomar, was recommended to me by scotty for sealing off my plenum and its worked so far, so for your throttle body it would be worth the $14 to try.. comes in a bottle or spray

Started up the car on Monday and it had a rough idle.

Gave it a little rev and it stalled.

Been trying to diagnose the issue for the past 2 nights.

After checking fuel & spark I finally got to checking comp

GAME OVER

Cyl 1 = 90

Cyl 2 = 25

Cyl 3 = 70

Cyl 4 = 90

Cyl 5 = 60

Cyl 6 = 70

Haven't done it at all

Owned the car for 45,000km

And I'm not sure when the previous guy did it.

I guess I should have checked it and done it when I first purchased the car. As you know I have had both power steering and fan belt snap.

Yep i recall :P

Maybe check the timing and condition on it first by just taking the top cover off....

The fact all cylinders are down indicates something dodgy going on...

Everyone seems to think the engine could still possibly be okay. I always fear the worst in these situations.

I'll take the cover off tonight if its easy enough to get to. Should only be a few bolts right?

Yeah its easy enough man!

And at the end of the day, who cares if its the engine? Its a standard RB, its not the end of the world :) Look at the positives hehe

Not worried about the cost of a new engine.

More worried about the labour costs to pull out and fit a new engine.

You have mates local, beers + Sausage fest and itll get done!

    • 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       
    • 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).
