If you want, try Freeway Smash Repairs in Osborne Park. They do really good work. They fixed my car up v well, good paint job too..let me know and I'll let him know to expect you?

Not today, the air-con in my skyline doesn't work and I used 1/4 of a tank going to mandurah and back. 

The guy told me i'd have to get a new front skirt (at my cost) and then $600 to paint and fit it, as he won't repair the existing.
Then he wanted $450 to pop the dent under my drivers side mirror, and another $600 to respray the door to match.
Then he wanted $1000 to remove the rear skirt, pop the dent, fiberglass the tear and then respray and fit, or $600 if I supplied him with a new rear bumper, and he would just paint and fit.
 

You can see the dent on the side in the photo attached, have no photos of the rear at the moment.

Yeah, after he went inside, I looked at my friend and said "You're kidding me right?" and he thought it was a good deal.

In other news, I've been quoted a maximum of $500 to fix my Air-Con, roughly $200 + whatever a fan for an R33 would cost (depending on the issue)

Ok, booked the Skyline, and my Lancer in for some Paintless Dent Removal, should be fun.
 

I spoke to three different places and decided to go with Dent Dismissal, as he seemed to be the most knowledgeable after a small discussion over the phone. There was a guy called The Dent Man, who was $50-$100 cheaper, but he basically just said "shouldn't be a problem, will come up good", where as Dent Dismissal gave me more information, "Based on the location, sharpness of the dent i'll have to do X and Y, could take a little longer depending on how it comes up, I've not worked on that car before so I don't know how long it'll take blah blah".

Will let you all know how it goes.

Mother in laws passport should be ready any day. We spent the money we had put aside on the house. Getting a bit of overtime lately so it's still possible but my wife said on the weekend she would like to go for New Years instead so I'm not sure what will happen

    • 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).
