Did the dealer fix the brake issue?

Brake issue?

Not exactly sure what you are talking about. These cars do have crap rotors fitted on them from factory. The rotors were worn out at 50,000km and I replaced them along with new brake pads.

There was a recall for the 1.4L turbo cars. The ABS could randomly crap out or something like that. Your model might be excluded (can't remember if it was for auto only), best check with a dealer.

My brother had a blue SRi almost same as yours, his brakes failed (pedal went hard) at an intersection and smashed into a car. A couple of days later, he got a letter in the mail telling him about the recall.

Sorry to be a bummer, but would suck to buy a car then have it randomly try to murder you (or sell your car and have it try to kill the new owner).

Good cars though, very zippy on boost, does awesome mileage, cabin is insulated really well, very low road noise. Sucky automatic programming though (which this car doesn't have!). My brother's car didn't even reach 30,000km.

*edit* it's for auto only, so please disregard my posts.

Strange it says during warm up, but my brother's car was running for more than half an hour before his accident.

Cheers, didn't know about/hear about that issue. My car has had a full-service history at Holden and they never mentioned anything. Although they have done some software upgrades along the way.

Very scary issue to have especially on the brakes! Is your brother OK now?

I guess since your car is a manual, they didn't need to concern you. Yeah brother's fine, he walked away with whiplash and a sore foot.

But hey, at least we know your car won't try to kill the new owner ;).

    • 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
