bodykit looks custom style thing too me, definately not veilside and doesnt look like vertex either.

paint is just a really nice metallic blue of some description :P like a candy metallic blue by the looks. and bonnet has silver paint with big metallic glitter stuff in it.

CerealKiller - dunno why you call the paintjob crap, looks great in my opinion =] though i would prefer carbon fibre bonnet, no stickers, and a more simple Vertex kit

They're 10" and 12" wide wheels filling out those guards Shan... please don't do an "HPI drift Silvia" and put wide guards on then have your 7" and 8" rims do a really bad job of filling out the wheelarches.

HEY GUYS,

Just wanna see some good pics of your R32's here!

Also, with the picture attached, can someone tell me what sorta paintjob it has, and what sorta bodykit/sideskirts it has ?

Thanks!

Hey man,

The paint is HOK Cobalt Blue Candy.

The body kit is an ECCE item (ECCE , as already pointed out is a NZ company). If you want a kit the same, speak to Bodyform in Sydney. They'll have to adjust the kit to fit a GTS-t though (as they did with this car) as it's meant for the GTR. I spoke to the guys there about it and they seem tops. Pretty sure they guy said this was actually HIS car when i mentioned it to him.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hey rezzeh, are you sure they're 10's in front ant 12s in the back, if so then I'm gonna kick myself as I just passed up a set off a VIP gloria which sold for 20000Y which is uber uber cheap. I thought they were 9's at the front and 11's at the back. Also I'm going for the rims sitting flush with the guard look, and seeing as I've got 4 stud hubs I have to get the 4stud to 5 stud conversion hub extenders, which should help me get the rims sitting exactly flush with the fenders.

What would help is if I could get a response out of BN Sports on what spec rims I should use on a GTS instead of finding out by trial and error.

I'm not sure Funkeh, I'm assuming they used +25 - +30 offset, so to get the rim out that far, you'd need at least an 11", maybe 12" rim on the rear to fill those guards. My 9" rims on the back are f-l-u-s-h with the wheel arch with +35 offset on the standard guards, you'd at least need a couple more inches on that width to fill out those BN rear guards. As for the front... same. My 8" sit a tad in from the stock front guards, so I would've thought another couple of inches to fill out the BN guards... at +35 or +40 offset...

Why don't I just e-mail them...:confused:

    • 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).
