wish I'd kept mine,awesome fun car.:-)

What model did you have? seems to be nothing but good words on them for a cheap run around.

Onyl issue is the dash rattle and the diff whine

89 model,3ltr Nissan motor can't kill em with a stick.

my son put a big turbo etc on his 4 years ago goes like the clappers.Oh an

if the one your gonna look at check out the exhaust tips if there still the pea shooter tips you might

have found a gem,take for a test drive check under bonnet is might be real,check if the trip meter works as well. :-)

Cheers, yer ive been trying to talk my self out of a turbo'd one.

I know as a cheap daily i should probs go non turbo as its cheaper and less to go wrong, but then again...... turbo is just more fun

Na is heaps of fun trust me :-) ,post up the one you found owned by pappy.:-)

i had one as a daily. cant fault the motor and the body is strong, drives well, pretty reliable and comfortable, but...

borg warner diff sucks, only real fix is a new centre, which is pricey

the seat backs are flimsy and will break

crappy trw steering rack will most likely piss power steering fluid

odo will break if you reset it while moving

door trim vinyl peels and looks like crap

some plastics dont like the sun, go white and shatter

live rear axle is not great, needs lowering and phat wheels to look decent

electronic box on series 3 cars kicks like a mule from first to second, only way to get around it is to hold the revs higher

basically, all the stuff that was added or changed from the jap spec cars while they were built in oz, sucks badly

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
