Money good, tax horrendous, body sore. New master and sleeved slave on clutch. Fork was fitted incorrectly and came off pivot ball. Gearbox out fork fitted correctly. New a/c compressor clutch was siesed. Now the clutch pedal has a weird click at different positions on pedal height. Assuming it's where the master cylinder shaft sits in the top of the clutch pedal.f##k

Sounds cool making custom bits for big boy toys

Sounds cool and is fun working on big motors sifting though loads of drawings sorting and ordering flanges parts and bits. till you realise your a old man that also has to build it all. Cummins qsk95. Kta50's etc. Lithium and associated mining for batteries taking off. All jobs are for contract power management. Turning massive alternators for power generation. My Brother in law works for C.P.M. So always interesting mining and engine conversations. All the exhaust systems are like big meccano kits with slip joints on flanged bellows and lobsterbacks so they can be adjusted and welded on site out to the mufflers with stacks etc. I love the solid geometry and mathematics involved, parallel line, radial line and triangulation. but am getting too old to continuously pump out the big welding jobs.

Nope it's my office. No one smarter or better than me allowed in ever. I guard that office and computer like a ravenous pit bull terrier. Any chance to get off the floor and I'm in there. :-) air conditioner soaking up even a very mild sweat.

15hrs pretending to be a German might not be germain to the situation. Just try to avoid their porn. Sebastian vettel calenders everywhere :-o

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
