dont think its was the best idea to post up a thread as soon as the car was stolen should of waited abit but oh well, the thieves may of attempted to sell parts on the forums but since seeing this thread they would of though twice. Hope the car if found in one piece. Rob

its great news to hear that my car was found....

it was a hard lesson learnt and definitely will be taking into shops for an immobiliser...

i once again believe in karma...

giving 20 bucks to a woman in the city so that she could fill up her car and get home certainly did pay off!

thanks once again guys for the support...appreciate it!

BAAAAAHAHAHA...dude, as much as id like to belive she used it for fuel...your sadly mistaken

either way, glad to hear u got your car back

when my previous ride got stolen and recovered, i couldnt stand the thought of driving it anymore...just a sinking feeling some scum has been in it especially after seeing his joy riding friends runner foot print stamped on a peice of paper in the passanger foot well

had to sell it :P

your a lucky man

id get a comp test done on your engine too..chances are they thrashed the living sole out of that RB while it was cold

worth a test i guess, peice of mind

went to check out my car today...

pod filter, cd stacker and boost gauge is gone but thats no drama..

sadly, i couldn't get my car out of the towing centre since the clutch is gone. will be taking it to n-1 distribution to get it all back to tip top condition.

the great news is that 'spu' suffered no exterior damage and my prized wheels still intact.

    • 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).
