Yeah I love those wheels.. If they were 1800 I might consider it in the future.. But all the ones I can find are around 3 grand lol... Far to expensive for my liking :(

yahoo auctions or Ebay. I got my nismos for $2200 with RSR semi slicks on them. Being ready is the thing, coz you'll run into a steal price whilst your broke as f*ck

yeah i ordered mine directly from work japan when the aus dollar was worth 100 yen. but if you go through jesse streeter and keep an eye out on yahoo auctions its possible to get a set for a decent price.

:/ cracked head ! - sorry man

shouldn't take as long as it has to buy one, fully service, bolt back on.

Hope that is all and there is nothing more......

You haven't even really run it in since rebuild. No wonder your cranky.

There have been a few delays. One of them was Nengun sent me the wrong cams :angry:. Now im waiting for parts again as im giving her a facelift... Will post pics when i get it back lol. I spoke to Ultimate today and they are expecting it to be done next week. Fingers crossed.

Stoopid mistake today

Came out of the servo and had to accelerate quickly to make the lights and avoid the cars coming up from behind.

Tramped it and got to the end of the rev range,,,,, went to change up gears,,,,, foot on clutch, grabbed gear stick to go up a gear ............................

car braked hard so suddenly during the quick shifting nearly smacked the windscreen with my head

That's when I realised - I'm in the freakin 34 - it's AUTO.

...(pushed hard on brake peddle thinking clutch - DOH !)

In all honesty, Having VERY LIMITED Auto Experience, I have done the same thing.

Scarey as all f**k and Extremely Embarrassing. :blush:

Although now with driving the Forklift at work, I have gotten use to the Auto and Braking with the left foot.

Would've been funny to see :P I'm actually really surprised I've never managed that tbh. I've GONE to do it countless times, but seems instinct kicks in when there's nothing below my foot where I expect there to be something, so the whole movement just ends up as a bit of a spasm most of the time lol

I had a serious accident because of that coming from Melbourne middle of nowhere. The car had a pedal handbrake sorta like a clutch on a manual. So going uphill I tired downshifting and booom sudden stop and the car behind me raped the rear end.

They should not make handbrakes like that no wonder you can never use that sort of car for a driving test.

    • 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).
