Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sup Y'all?

I've been hiding... Busy working too much, getting a house built, planning weddings... The usual time consuming stuff...

Damn work made me miss pork knuckle :( It's been a whole 4 days since my last pork knuckle :( But that one was at Barvarian Bier Cafe not Z german club...

No more like.... *Marp marp marp marp marp crush grind ping knock knock knock knock*

This was more along the lines of it.. it was telling a lot of poor knock knock jokes till it was no more. Driving it home in 5 cylinders didn't help either

u need to get it checked out man. I think it's internal sadly :(

sigh... ill keep looking for something. might try and do a comp test and check for leaks this weekend.

would a small leak cause it to hunt like that? or a possible dead coil pack?

i unplugged the AFM and still ran shit dont think its a air leak...

facts are as follows Ed:

1. Something went bang whilst driving / been driven

2. Big puffs of smoke coming out the exhaust (what color is it BTW?)

3. Engine runs like a donkey ever since noise occurred

4. New set of plugs did not fix the problem

5. Take the guidance of Ants and see a Mech for diagnosis of engine

Yes, leak test and comp test are on the cards Ed.

Im guna say it.

I call bs it went bang at idle. You were boosting and split a hose. Do a boost leak test, check all hose clamps, ic piping etc.

seriously it was sitting at lights when it happen didn't even boost it cause car was still cold.... so from that video you would look for a split ic piping ect?

just watched the vid. Sounds terrible but could be the location. Let idle and pull coil pack connectors 1 at a time and see if rpms change. If the rpms drop on a particular cyl report back. Edited by MagicMikeZ32

    • 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).
