I've never driven in a car with progressive springs... All I heard was to avoid them for track work.

I've got Kings on Bilsteins & cant fault them.

Not like any of us do enough track-work to blame performance on springs anyways haha

I had tien progressives on mine first time round with new shocks.

They were awful. Crashed about on the street then got all floaty when pushed had on the track

Worst of both worlds

Moved to my coilovers. Slightly more comfy on street and so much better on track

yeah ive got teins but the thing is, the thing has no traction in 2nd or 3rd gear with 280kw.

the thing hardly squats

Dude you've got base model Teins that are all rusted and flogged out because they're 20+ years old.......

"Yeah but I've got Teins"

Edit: Oh and don't let me forget your second hand "Semi Slicks" !

Bc it is

The Toyos were great when warm, not so much on the street lol

haha all round,

this one time i had ku36s on the back and federals on the front, doing a u turn with johno and the car went straight lmao

do you have any suspension work done to the car? Swaybars, camber, castor adjustments?

Swaybars make a massive improvement in understeering/oversteering.

Achilles all around > old semis

I call bullshit on this..

went from the old R888 to Achilles 123 Sport (their supposedly track tyres)

grip level dropped so fast it was not funny.

just ended up spinning tyres out of every corner.

    • 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).
