Now featuring a guy who believes that science...er...proves the theory of evolution to be...wrong?

Pretty sure the guy may be Ken M

I re-read and it actually never said hp or kw so that's my bad. He said stock turbo at first then later said he was using an eBay special, so who knows.

I've been helping a friend of mine for well over a 2-3 years regarding pulsar questions and opinions... I've tried to help him with so many things, get quotes for engine work, recommended mods, what he should do etc. At least one question a week. Went and bought an ok S15 for when he is off his p's, but still happy to spend money on cosmetic bits for the pulsar, planning for engine bay bits later (half of which he was going to buy off me). Now he wants to sell the pulsar with all mods attached at a loss, sell the S15 and get a MK5 R23 golf. FFS. I should have given up on him long ago. f**kin dream boats just go with the times. I should have known from the flatbrim, I just thought it was kids these days.

Stop being the fence sitter about Chequered. Aint nobody say HP in fact it says KW.

Seriously, my reply was too complicated for you?

No one said it was a Chequered customer, that was just Birds trolling.

I was simply stating the dude might have got mixed up as 210rwkw is not too far off the mark.

at no point you didn't think perhaps he was trolling ya I mean who really wants to mod a pulsar anyway?

he's a nice guy and i met him through pulsar meets... he spent big money on 90mm sleeves and pistons to go 2.2L... but has been talking about doing it for over 12 months. i even got quotes for him to do it.

i always stress to anyone thinking about modifying to consider goals/budget etc plus if you plan to keep the car. if you think your own car isnt worth fixing up... get a better one and swap the best bits over.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
