yeah most likely design my own, looking toward more of a federation style, im not really into the modern (thanks anyway dark :D) i know a few builders through work but just forgot names. and yes its true what you say about going through someone like metricon, they dont like their shit changed hahaha

who are some designers you know?

lol well atm we are looking at

the provincial style home would be awesome and seeing as we have the land already we can work out what we want to spend on the house alone :D

Dox,

You're in the trade, why don't you just do it Owner Builder? Get an idea of the house you like, take your ideas to an Draftsman/ Architect (I know a gun but he charges a little more than others we use) and do the rest yourself. Dunno where the property is and what you plan on doing, but it should be just a matter of getting a building permit and not advertising. Your drawings, architecturals, working drawings etc should be around the 7-10K. If you need help, subies, materials, appliances, timber whatever let me know.

With all due respect to those living in Spec Homes by major building companies, if your after quality I would avoid a spec home. Most of these companies have the highest warranty claims.

yeah gonna do owner builder of course, just need designer and stuff. that link i posted before is what i wanna go for in style but in brick.

thanks for the offer as well man :)

well we have a 106acre farm, so im going to utilise some small space at the front and fence off a small area for myself. rest assured there will be a room to put all my drum equipment in with suond proofing :)

and yeah we are going to look into a permit to see if we can actually build a house there.

what do you mean by "not advertising?"

well we have a 106acre farm

Geez, that won't leave you much room for a decent backyard :)

what do you mean by "not advertising?"

Unless you go outside the res code / council requirements, you wont need to advertise and have neighbouring properties object to your plans. Advertising is usually the case if you plan to sub divide or build multiple dwellings on a particular lot.

Whereabouts is the farm?

hi there

well im applying for my builders license to build and i think i can have it 4-5weeks from now. i have been in the construction industry for 6yrs building lots of high rised buildings in the city, actually to be precise, i worked for caelli construction and you can see our company advert on most cranes in the city. anyway, im getting into the building industry and i have a lot of trades people who can build your home for you, i also know architectures and drafters who can draft up your idea of an ideal home. im a civil engineer by trade and i have heaps of engineers who can design what you want, maybe you wanna contact me?

[email protected]

p.s. maybe i can help some of my fellow skyline owners in Vic to start off! :D

    • 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
