I don`t know what all the hoo ha is , just leave the front coil overs in , they are not going to worry anything , what do you put coilovers in for anyway , 1 stability 2 handling 3, ease of adjustment and 4 looks , why in the hell would you remove them if not stuffed , when you get the money repair or replace them , no big deal but its stupid to remove them when they are ok.

yeha im leabing the coil over in the front, the backnow has stock shocks with lowered springs (NOT CUT) and seems to be ok, its a daily, and i want it to sit nice, but i want it to ride nice too, will think about my options over the next few weeks and go from there, im un decided if i wanna go all new coil overs all round or leave it, all depends if im gonna sell it in the next 6 months or not.

He had standard shocks in the rear. Can they be rebuilt and would you bother?

Yeah im not gonna waste the cash on re building stock shocks, if i keep the car im gonna get some BC coilovers through boost brothers

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
