So anticipating the need to purchase a new laptop, unless I can get this one fixed for a reasonable price, what's the best way to retrieve the data from the hdd in this one, without opening up the new one and putting the drive in there obviously...

/If you cant get into the bios at all thats kinda shit, warranty out? run with no battery but plugged into the wall charger?

simple cheap hard drive sata to usb caddy (or cable) will get your files back 

something like this

Two year warranty, haven't found the receipt buy searched this thread and found I bought it around September /October 2014, so about 7 months out of warranty.. That's why I opened it up, no warranty to void... I'll give em a call see what they say... If it's not a ridiculous price to fix it, I'm happy to keep it, hasn't really given me any issues

Seen weird things before by battery causing problems, if its HDD or RAM that's f**ked you should still be able to get into bios easily

Probably your mainboard though, wont cost that much to get it replaced if they still got em

I'll get one of those cradle things Leigh posted before sending it anywhere... There's not a whole lot of shit on the drive as I keep it on an external drive connected to my network, but still wouldn't mind backing up what is on there

true that

but they do generally lsit tow ratings for a reason...and when they drop them 700kg for this car prob should take notice.

 

 

and worst case scenario something happens insurance company can mess with you hard core.

(also seen cops on the Hume 3-4times in past 2 months directing trailers into the weigh bridge.

Yeah dunno why officially it's 1600 over the standard turbo 2300kg, you'd assume it'd be right.. it's the same chassis with BETTER brakes, maybe it's just a 'FPV brand is better brah' don't tow! thing? 

I wouldn't be worried about it that's for sure

    • 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).
