alright, from the looks of your car, it is a sII gtst. I also own one of these, and i'll tell you that you cannot install mesh due to that gay plastic behind the front bar. That needs to come off to install an fmic anyway. What you do, is you use a jigsaw and cut it off. Then sand it back. It has been covered how to take hte front bar off. Do something difficult. It's called search. Also, if you're gonna saw it, why put mesh and be a rice boy? put an fmic!

Well silver mesh is semi-acceptable in some cases. But it will get lost in a wall of silver if your car is silver.

White mesh well... That is Evo kitted Lancer Coupe territory...

I cannot recall any Skyline related application where non-black mesh has looked "good"

Silver mesh on Carbon bonnet vents should be punishable by something really yucky

But it is your car and this is only my opinion, so feel free to ignore it :D

im guessing here, but i would have thought that the pressure would push it through anyway. thats assuming that the holes are a decent size, not tiny.

ive been wanting to cover my holes with mesh since i got my car. it looks a lot neater and it makes it harder for cops to spot the cooler. plus i want to spray it black.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
