I joined this forum under the impression that you lot like to go out with your cars to enjoy them. Oh how wrong was I now that being said what is it that you lot fear the most. A paint chip or someone else enjoying your car after they pry it out of your cold dead hands. Ffs let's get real we have nice cars but don't want to have fun with them or put kms on them. Go Join the vintage club and dust collection. This is what really f**ks me off people having nice cars who refuse to use them what they were intended for.



Unfortunately I have flight to catch on Saturday and I'll be back on Thursday - Otherwise I would love to join. It's just a bad timing.
I was sick for 2 weeks , and flying out to visit one and only mom that I have.

Sorry !
For the others who are interested it will be late July

Is it really that big a deal?

I'd love to spend my days off driving my car, fishing in my boat and countless other fun stuff but a family, new house and countless DIY projects doesn't leave much time. Everyone has their reasons for not going out all the time including many of us who work weekends. I've had my skyline for 15 years and had plenty of fun but nowadays it's in moderation

Always take my gtr out. It's my daily when I'm home. People always say so should garage it and only drive it ok n special occasions but meh, I like other people enjoying it too. I had a 6 year old kid sitting in my drivers seat loving it. Kids parents were rapped that I said just chuck him in there and let him have a play. [emoji23]

Its what we do, garage queena lol... personally i dont give a toss about stone chips, dings or dents. Most have seen the patch on my bumper, looks can be deceiving ? lol... what realy anoys me is the roads and people that use them, driving manner and ability are bismal at best. It looks like a gd run tho and il come along for a laugh.

On the upside, my rb30 block and crank are ready at the machine shop ?

I wish I could have all the money in the world and just drive around...unfortunately adulting is hard, 2 jobs doesn't leave me very much time for anything else. Late July may work, but we shall see.

Hey, I'll probaqbly (99% sure) I will be popping in to your Restaurant this Sunday night?

Audi gets traded for the Prado tomorrow. GXL 150 facelift 2017 made and 2017 model. Here comes weekends away in the bush [emoji1303]

Fully awesomeness. I've never owned a new car. 2 in the hand = 1 in the bush apparently! It needs a 3" exhaust a hi-flow cat a lift kit. Bollocks just leave it stock. The engineers at Toyota are way smarter than us! Hmm maybe xcept kizza and trevs! Well done mate should be years of trouble free motoring. Got a d-max as work car. 50'000 so far bullet proof. Turbo diesel power. Maybe a fmic? Haha

    • 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
