Anywhere i can take my car in a hurry to get more camber wound into the front, preferably around Cheltenham area. Already have the bits on the acr, just a matter of changing the stiings...ideally would liek someone with a clue so that they can also change the castor toe etc to make the car work its semi slicks properly.

I usually use Centrline but they are too far away and too busy at the moment to squeeze my car in at the last minute...

Any help would be appreciated.

They are pretty good for alignments n stuff - Richard is the guy to talk to - give them a call!

Hi Roy try this place

- I had some good reports from people on Skylines about here

Advantage Suspension Pty Ltd

Fact 4/ 1 Winston Crt Moorabbin 3189 (03) 9555 2633

Roy... Why Cheltenham? {spelling}  > TRUTRAK in Leveson Street, North Melbourne now their stuff. I'm sure they have something to do with that GTR that races at the WRX meetings.

LOL cause my caer is still at Ice and im going to PI on the weekend...and it doesnt look like ill be pickign my car up to tomorrow, so with work etc etc it neds to be close to them...

Bugger it ill ust stiffen up the swaybars and hope that stops the outside shoulder of the front tyres from gettign too hot and blistering...im actually kinda hoping the track is cold and damp so that the grip level is low and i dotn kill expensive tyres :P

  • 2 weeks later...

By the time i got my sh1t together i was lucky to make it to Phillip Island, so didnt have time to get a wheel alignment...as i wont be pushed for time next tiem around im going to stick with Centreline, i was very, very happy with them the two times i used them

Sorry to drag up an old thread. But I had a recent experience with this place which was interesting...

Frank (owner of the white 33R) is good mates with Ralph (owner of TruTrak). Ralph has done a lot of the work on that GTR.

    • 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).
