the Autosalon shit seems to have catched onto you youngins...2 years and 8 months ago was when the trend started again, then the yanks thought it was good to follow on, making it look like they are the ones who are responsible for the popular return...:P

FYI: there are conversion kits around for every car imaginable.

I wouldn't say chrome is "rice" More so the "each to their own" style of the cheaper chrome rims you see on little buzz box 4 cyl's.. that would fall under the "rice" term. On that note, last time i checked, in a nut shell; rice pretty much ment all show no go - and things that had no use. I'm pretty sure your car will have more go then most of the people on this forum have when finished :P

if it helps, I owned a toyota sera at one stage in my life... the car came with factory gullwing doors, which were a pain in the ass coz you had to regass the strut that holds the door up frequently.

Kits are available for the R32 (in melbourne anyways) think it was close to $1500 + fitting from memory. Its just a bracket, a hinge and a strut. Scissor doors look good on the new celicas, 300zx and RX7's, but most of the other cars look wierd i reckon.

I think what people are trying to get at is that Skylines have VERY plain looking doors - frameless sedan style square doors.

They look like shit if they scissor up.

BUT... on a Series 6 RX7... plus say a Amemiya bodykit... it would look sweet.

The RX7 has the curvy shape and swooping doors to pull it off.

A 32 does not.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
