no. Just like everyone else you need to earn it.......unless I win 5M dorras then I help you if you are a good boy

I do earn it, I just have other things I need to pay for first :(

Dam brakes. To many options, can't figure out what i want to get.

R33 brakes bolt straight on.

Bigger ones are probably only a bit more expensive if i just get fronts.

But i might want to get even bigger ones later, in that case the 33 brakes would be easier to move on.

Or i could go straight to even bigger ones but i'd need to get 18's...

In which case do i get TE37s again or something else.

Argh decisions.

what are you on about Pete?

Your 17in TE37's will have more than enough room for a big brake kit

Also new big brake kits cost a lot more than R33 GTR Brembos Pete

40 minute sessions at wakefield, and my GTR Brembos never smoked... Just sayin! They have become fairly underrated over the last few years. Though I have never paid 1800 bucks for them. My first set of fronts cost 800 with dba 5000 rotors and my full set cost 1300 with dba 5000 front rotors.

Some between 4 and now Mel :(

Now I'm going to get up and drive to Beacmere to meet a client I know and help them put all their work on a cloud

I'm actually really looking forward to this :)

Have you moved completely to xero in house?

Front D2 kit is about ~2K,

R33 all round is 1800 bucks by the time you get them rebuilt etc

Get real brakes. D2 are rubbish.

Do it once, do it right. Cheaper in the long run Pete.

If R33 Brembos bolt straight on, that means all Z32 kits will bolt straight on.

    • 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).
