Just had a very exciting phone call. My sons evo 9 has passed through the new RAWS process and should be registered and on the road in 2 weeks. I have a 19 year old almost in tears when we were call earlier today. 

Seriously though, that is a sweet ride to own at 19 years old. It's a sweet ride to just drive at 19 years old. Are they all imports? I always thought Evos were sold worldwide. Also no issues with P-plating?

At 19 I was driving my mum's 121. Something like this in much more worn out.

It either made me feel like a clown or awesome when blasting Rammstein and reving out the little engine. Would probably unironically drive it again nowadays 😆

 

Yes, both the GTR and Evo are imports, the evo is a jap only variant. Either way the compliance approval is all done so it is registerable and the guy who imported it, only needs to apply for the compliance plate. My son has a lancer already and will continue to drive that to uni etc, driver training etc in the evo and it will be my wife’s toy car for 8 months.

Good to see you Liz

Too close to home...the Stagea is OK after a small issue it took a long time to sort, the Fuga is dead with some sort of hybrid system issue, the race car is in a million bits....the Titan is good except the AC can only do full hot (don't need to fix that for a few months I guess)....the Patrol is as good as it ever was with a non-turbo TD42. God knows where the super march is, it went to get a pack of smokes about 10 years ago and I haven't seen it since.

When it rains it pours!

I’m in no position to be pointing fingers! My cars are a mess. 

My solution is to keep the garage door closed! Have you tried that?

That's a better location for crap, rather than stacked on top of the non functional cars in the garage like some people do!

Have you got garagecam ? Cause that's me ! ! ! 

Yes I still know its a sickness. Not even the car intervention helped !

My son and I finished making a mess in our garage as on Sunday as we finished an audio project on the EVO. We managed to squeeze 2 x 18" subs into the boot in a Perspex mount. I said no more power mods to the evo so 10KW's of audio in the boot was a trade off. 220KW@all 4 and 10KW's in the boot!

So that makes 230KW in total correct?

See the pic and a video of the light show.

On the GTR side I finally managed to restore the exhaust back to standard. I removed the y-pipe and now it suits an old man like me a bit better.

where is the best place to sell an R35 titanium y-pipe now days?

    • 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).
