My old shifter burned in a fire, otherwise I'd have given you it

If your boot isn't sitting high enough, grab a metal hose clamp and throw it around the metal shaft so the boot doesn't slide down past it. (on the inside, so you can't see it)

I used some black duct tape to do same.

I think I still have the carbon fiber nismo one at home somewhere.

You might as well have been grabbing a glowing red exhaust manifold in the middle of summer as they both removed a similar amount of skin and resulted in the same burns.

Did it a couple of times but I only lasted 4 months in the city before moving jobs, f**k that. 

Too many dickheads in cars don't see ya, and took a fair bit of time to get my gear on / off / bike out the shed etc. Didn't make it worth it so got the train. 

I got a mate that lives like 10km out of the city and has a really powerful E-bike thing, gets him to work and home really quick and can use bike tracks, plugs it on charge nightly and bobs your auntie. 

Good idea thanks.

I'm 7km from city and was thinking how else to commute. $140/month Myki for a short trip isn't great value, neither is parking in city.

 

Or maybe I join the vwl bandwagon and get a motorbike [emoji55]

140 a month would be a prepaid 30 day wouldn't it? So you can use it how ever many times you want? But if you were to just top it up to the same amount and make use of it only on work days solely in zone 1 you would save money I would have thought? Unless you live in zone 2?

 

$7 a day buying the monthly top up would still be half of what parking must cost at a minimum?

All I know is Myki is stupid and unreliable system known to humankind.

And if you want to use it once in a blue moon, you can't buy a ticket unlike overseas.

I had that nismo one

was good until the coating came off, exposing ugly reddy coloured metal underneath 

How unusual...maybe something scratched it and started a peel? I can't think how mine would ever do that even with the deathgrip of your average reddit user. Could it have been a copy?

    • 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
