funny incident..

Was cruising with my mate last night in his TT Soarer. Pull up to a set of lights on leach highway, and a 'glowing' wrx pulls up next to us. He had neon light instrument cluster (which was literally glowing outside the car!), what looked to be neon light surrounding the exhaust!!? wtf?? plus glowing windscreen wipers and various stickers in and around his car. :)

anyway, he looked over at us and gave us the thumbs up, so i looked back over at him and gave him the thumbs down :D . He then wound his window down and said 'what was that for?!' i said 'why all the glowing lights, christmas isnt until a couple of months?'. he got a really confused look on his face and by this time the lights had gone green, so he went to nail it, and stalled it!! :) so my mate just floored the soarer and left his ricey ass for dead!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

two of my friends own wrx's with neons everywhere :D  

and if you check under the bonnet's they defenatly have the go`

the driver looked australian. caucasian with blonde (dyed?) hair. car was blue. looked like a MY98 or 97? well because he stalled it he didnt get to show us if it had any go.

puckish, yes i am a witness to TT soarer beating wrxs, my mate has raced 2 of them while i was in the car, and has beaten both, the closest was one which had aftermarket air intake mods (exhaust, pod etc..)

doesn't sound like my friends haha

they are both white wrx's ... :D

both car's perform nearly the same as stock.

so they should be a good fight, i've seen some gtst's blown away at the lights by soarer's.

it all depends on the driver i think, especially if its manual vs auto ...

manual has to take off properly or else he has no chance [i lost to my friends soarer once in my previous car, gts-t, coz i got too much wheel spin]

yeah he has yet to have a gtst give him a go? but i think he has only raced a couple. I never under estimate soarers the 1jz has some lethal potential if it has a manual box and traction control attached to it!!

    • 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).
