Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Morning all.

It was great to meet Anthony, Melly, Zane, Colin, Tony and the owner of one very cool looking blue R31 at Oktoberfest (Greg).

Big thanks to Anthony and Emelie for the meet and greet at the airport and for taking the time out to catch up with some random from NSW. Thanks Melly and Zane for the lift back to the airport after OF. Unfortunately, I still have rather vivid and disturbing memories of the gold shorts guy and the many cross dressers lol

Ps - Still like Michelle's coffee thanks all for attending the pre drinks :)

Yeah Zac talked about that yesterday.

Have done many happy laps and mountain runs on standard 4 stud brakes and I make twice as much power as a natro 25... I don't see what all the fuss is about. I've had brake fade issues once at qr and that was on the nation circuit after many stops from a substantial speed

Because I have never had any brake fade issues ever ;)

She won't be carrying anywhere need the speed you or I do when braking into turn 3/4/6, natro 25s stop moving after 120kph

That is true. But she might want to learn to drive fast as well after she gets her turbo.

Good. Couldn't drive it on the road tho :( it's very quiet haha

We can fix that :devil:

Mate just bought a dewalt battery angle grinde, I'll have that sucker setting of car alarms in no time lol

    • 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).
