People who insist on going right to the very end of a merging lane before they merge and then brake and hesitate coz they didn't see the 5 previous signs saying that the lane ends

Scary to think that they're controlling ~1,500kg of machinery that can easily kill people.

people who complain getting out of my bucket seats, then aid themselvs out by grabbing my wethershields and once again breaking them.

people who say nothing untill the best part of the song comes on and suddenly need to tell a life story.

my gf who waits untill the roundabout/ corner to take a drink/ lean down into her bag, then complain i drive like a maniac. lol

Absolutely Chris lol - it makes number 30 on the rules :)

30. Idiots that cannot figure out that a lane ends... merge sign actually means "lane ends soon you drongo match speed and slot in with plenty of time and gap" not wait to the last minute and potentially cause a massive car pile up.

Yep Glyn - grabbing weather shield is a symptom of Macca's arse and it leads to eroded seat bolsters - Highly inflammatory solution...Tell them they may want to start a core workout routine lol

Or worse still they get to the best part of the song and then decide to sing along like one would imagine a strangled cat sounds lol

Gift her rally driving hot laps - she'll never complain again lol

I'll put money on it that Glyn is referring to the weathershields on his Stagea, which are attached along where the roof meets the windowline and go all the way from A-pliiar to the C-pillar in one piece (we have frameless windows on our C34 Stageas), and are notoriously hard to find and VERY expensive to replace.sauwtb.jpg

having the indicator on automatically enables them to merge into the lane you're driving in despite the gap being too small
then there's those pedestrians who take a leisurely stroll at the crossing when it's flashing red and by the time it's solid red they have the nerve to give you the stink eye cause you've entered the crossing

I kinda disagree with the pedestrian crossing somewhat. Don't know what the Roads authority are thinking, but there are some crossings that go green for literally 2 seconds before the red man appears. I know of 1 particular 6 lane highway that does this. How can an average man walk across a 6 lane highway in 2 seconds.... Mind boggles.

But i do know where you are coming from.

    • 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).
