Bad idea, skimming the head. Now the face is flat but the top side is still warped, so cams are bent.

What do you mean about the clutch pedal? Why is your foot anywhere near the clutch pedal while revving and driving?

No-eyed Deer - I had never even thought about your bent cam point !!

Think i will call the engineer and see what he says - just me being inquisitive .

Fitted to the car is an OSGilken multi plate clutch and in traffic if i sit with it depressed in gear it gets hot and will judder when next used !

SO I return to neutral every time i am in traffic with my foot resting on the clutch ready to go . This is when i found the clutch pedal pushing my foot up when i revved the engine .

Also the brake servo pipe is SERIOUSLY under pressure / almost solid feeling when the engine is running .

I was thinking maybe there is an issue with the AAC valve as the engine rev`s have also increased after refitting the head .

Bloody Hicas started to try and kill me today as well , keeps pulsing and trying to correct the steering wheel angle to straight in a bend ?? NOT going to lock out as when it works it is so much faster on the road - have heard that not that good on a track though .

found the issue - the O ring at the rear of the clutch master cylinder that seals the servo unit to the master cylinder was split in half and so letting air in .

Found part of it sticking out of the vacuum pipe that connects to the 1 way valve and then AAC valve .

Lucky break as would not have thought of that !

      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.

      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?

      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
