Also will be dirty in 2 days, because black.

im actually getting tired of it with the gloria. sometimes its worth it. but when washing the car when its warm or even partial sunlight, its a race against time. Drying/chamois has never been so f**king time consuming AND so important. and mine isnt even daily. dunno how people do it.

found out trying photograph black cars at night in average lighting, with average camera skills is hard.

yeah i washed it the other week on a hot day.. ended up just as dirty when i began almost lol

dried up water dots everywhere, when it's clean looks goooooood though

been toying with the idea of selling one of my bikes, and convincing dad to go halfies build an old rotor, big block or similar with me.. wonder if he'd go for it. (torana, cortina, old mazda, datto 260 etc) club reg it

^ good move.

Dont go rotar leigh...

First rule of rotaries: know how to build a rotary.

I was reading about the different porting you can do, and blimey it was scary how they can predict the life of the engine down to the 100's of kms (mind you, not too hard when things only last a few thousand of kms)

but .. but.. they're so cool.

wouldn't mind throwing a ford xr6t engine in something too for fun, would only do if dad went halfies doe, dont have teh cash

he restored a valiant charger but sold it a few years ago, was mint :(

No ones discounting your polishing (pic below was pre-wax), but waxes deepen the shine; you saw the diff once it had it on there

What sort of coatings on it.. Dry with a good wet micro towel to get the bulk off, ( not a fan of chamois)then spray some quick detailer or something on the towel and go over it again.. Still time consuming but can be done in 10-15mins..

Haha if you want another, I'll get you to go over Leesh's...it's got a lot of cobwebs and some light marring.

Actually need to get her rear bar re-glasses and gone over too.

No one wants to touch the fiberglass

Have a chicken tonight jar worth of paint though if you wanna glass and spray it

I did say we could fix it, somehow..

Probably because some numpty fused the bumper the body, it cant be taken off for repair.. But we can patch it up if you want..

Anyway I'm too busy lately to do much.. Haven't washed my own cars for yonks

    • 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).
