Hi all,

I need your help, just removing my standard 260rs suspension to MCAS and have bumped into a dead-end, the rears are done but I am having issues with the front, all bolts are removed however on the bottom I have what looks like a cover, I can't remove it. I've removed the nut on the bottom but can not see the other side. Please see picture attached. any help please?

 

Thanks

David

I think Duncan is saying that the picture doesn't necessarily show too much as it's too close.. if you give a picture of the whole area so we can identify what is what, people can help..
alternative to that, where are you located ? A kind person may be nearby that can drop in point a few things out and be on their way.. their is definitely a lot of helpful peeps here from my short and limited experiences :)

Hi all, so I was suppose to getting Di e by my mechanic but his booked out... so I thought I'll try again... same issue I can't find the other end of the bolt.

I've taken the nut off on the other end but struggling to find the bolt. it looks like a cover and I've tried to lightly tap it out but there is no movement.

OK, got it now. You've got the nut off, but the shock is still in place, and you are trying to remove the "bolt" that the bottom of the shock is on.

So it's actually a stud, not a bolt, and it's not meant to come off.  Just pry lightly between the shock and the upright to push the shock off the stud. A big screwdriver or small pry bar will do it, dead easy.

    • 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).
