I thought this was very much worthy of sharing.

Today, I attended a combined cruise through Wiseman's Ferry with several people from TeamS15 (of which I'm a member of) and an FT86 car club. All those in attendance would be considered a young group of car enthusiasts, with the age range of us predominately in the early to mid twenties. Everyone who attended the cruise had a very good attitude and had respect for not only their own vehicles, but for everyone else. A few of the vehicles in attendance were quite nicely modified.

Before turning right to head towards Wiseman's Ferry, there was an RBT setup with around four or five highway patrol vehicles. We were all pulled in to the RBT setup (as was everyone who went past, regardless of vehicle). They mentioned the purpose of the stop is for RBT, and it was just that. A few questions were asked, the breath tests were conducted and after a quick lookover of some of the modified vehicles, we were able to go on our way. Every one of us was courteous and polite to the HWP, and one of them even took very lightly to a few jokes. The HWP were very professional, and also showed interest in the cars we were all driving.

Every one of us had nothing but praise for the HWP that were responsible for the RBT station.

It takes both sides to establish and then maintain rapport Benji.

It's good to see you guys as well HWP (who had a responsible job to do) getting along with something precious in common; some very nice cars.

I was also thinking of putting up something like this. I happened to meet the same group of HWP earlier in the day, as my group of cars were parked on the side of the road. The 4 HWP turned up, and my first though after hearing all the internet horror stories, was, they're here to screw us all. But instead, not a thing was asked about our cars except "is that a real skyline" :domokun: --> my answer, no, unfortunately it's not a GTR but it is a real skyline. We chatted about his HWP car and he mentioned how he wished he could put a chip in and turn the boost up...haha! great guy. And then they got on with setting up the RBT and we went on our way.

I got pulled up for an RBT on Windsor rd last weekend in the evo & having sizable cams in her she was idling quite lumpy (even though it has a quiet exhaust) the officer was very well mannered and respectfu to mel as was I to him. No problems whatsoever even though I was freaking after reading all the "bad" stuff about cops in here.

Agreed as Ray said its a location thing. Get pulled over in bondi for an RBT and ya stuffed as they have other agendas on their list, get pulled over out in the west for an RBT & if ya blow clean you're a free agent as that's all they are targeting ;)

Depends on the area as mentioned. Idiots in your area = you'll be treated badly.

I never had issues with the police, apart from one hero on a bike pulling me over for street racing doing 80 in 80 zone (Western Distributor). I caught him on his lies so he had no choice but to threaten me and let me go.

I guess if we have some positive experiences, our attitudes will be different, and by the same token; if HWP have a positive experience with us, they may share their experience with colleagues and behave differently.

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
