No skid vids yet, sorry.

Next little job is engine oil and filter and the diff oil.

What kind of Commo owner are you?

Yeah, I'm all bogan this, and bogan that, but where are the skids, where are the scattered can of VB......piss poor effort on my part.

But...

I did scare a guy driving a WRX though, I heard him coming up behind me in the M5 tunnel, he would get on the gas then of it for hektic BOV noises (noice), he caught up and started to keep pass with the big red cruise ship, then he kept getting on the gas, then letting off, all old school race me tactics.

But as I'm an adult and just cruising in the left lane....... I timed it perfectly, he got on the gas just as we hit to dollar zone, and so did I, the old girl squated its arse to grass, a boot full petrochemical induced combustion and noise ensued and I was off.

Well, I was off until I hit a dollar of course.

In truth the old girl is big and fat and slow(ish), but not as slow as the WRX rolling on.

Yeah, I'm a dick

I hope WSID opens soon....I miss looking at all the cars

Wow, I the difference in ride quality is amazing.

Ended up with 245/45 17 Bridgestone Potenza RE003's, mainly because buy 3 get one free.

I think the car has achieved maximum bogan spec now.

The joke would be use the white ones obviously, but in all seriousness the car is handsome and neat and at the risk of you actually putting venetians on don't put venetians on.

Yeah, I would need to pull off the window tint to be able to bath in the Venetian glory, that ain't gonna happen.

    • 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).
