Hi guys and gals,

 

Was  going to get some touch up paint for my 33 gtr around brisy after a few phonecalls someone pointed out Supercheap. I was a bit sceptical at first but they seem to be able to provide it but the paint codes they have represent 2 different midnight purples but the same code. they are both LP2 but one has a dark purple metallic with small amount red metallic and other is dark purple metallic. I would have thought the 2nd is the correct choice but didnt want to be wrong. Its only for a few scuff marks around the base of my front bar but dont want it to be different obviously. Any experts know which is which. It is for 33 GTR V-spec 95'. Thanks

Trial and error basically it's just a variant of the same colour as paint gets mixed in massive batches and sometimes there a bit off so after market paint company's will list differnt variants of it, normally in a panel shop you would make up a small quantity and check it against the car and if wrong try the other

good luck....
had a r33 gtr midnight purple also...

wanted to spray my series 3 lip midnight purple to match the car. tried out supercheap, tried some stupid expensive paint from car paint suppliers. nothing came close and it was a bitch to paint.

My track car is also midnight purple, have decided to change the colour and spray it completely to save the hassle!

Cheers guys its only a couple small marks so not too stressed, i think i will run with the dark purple over the red metallic addition as that seems more logical and due to it being a 95 and one of the first of the series i figure the dark purple would represent midnight purple and maybe they experimented a little further with colour in the later models......I hope, if there is any logic behind that lol Thanks again.

Don't know if you have already sorted it out but I also have a 33 in midnight purple LP2. I work at supercheap and have mixed myself a few cans that match my car well but its so hard to tell from the pictures. Here is my colour for what its worth. I don't think mine has the red in it.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
