see your pm for full detials

Are spoilers classed as structural? and what about clearance from the top of the tyre to the body? If any one can clarify this it would be much appreciated as there is a LOT of uncertainty with measurements and clearance heights!

daniel

there are 2 measurements that are commonly used, ground clearance and centre of axel to wheel arch.

1) the car must be 100mm off the ground from any structural point, bodykits are not structural. normally the lowest point is the chassis rail.

2) there is a certain distance that needs to be met on every car from the centre of the axel to the wheel arch. on R32's (when i had to go thru compliancing) it is 350mm. this varies from car to car and is about 10-20mm lower than the std height.

when going over the pits it depends alot on the overall presentation of the car, if it is a fairly tidy looking and 'tastefully' modified car then you can normally slide through. They tend to pick on riced up cars which are rediculously low or loud...

Radtech?? ahh maybe im just gettin old

haha.. my friends made it up when were skating at the leederville skatepark about 8 months ago. my mate skated around it a motorbike jacket and helmet looking totally homo.. we all laughed and someone called him radtech. if u r REALLY radtech.. then you;re radtech invincible.. haha.. sounds pretty silly.. but it has too many memories.

then last week.. my little brothers friends have this tv show on channel 31, mondays at 7.30pm called EXTREME WA... and they said radtech about 8 times.. we;re all trying to make radtech a new 'cool' word.. haha.. we do some pretty crazy things.. hehe..

Well hopefully they look upon my car favourably :P

I really can't be bothered with those sorta hassles.

It's only really got an exhaust and it's not loud at all so I should be ok. Doesn't even have a pod filter :D

Tomorrow morning will tell hehe :P

Cheers for the kind words Justino :D

    • 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).
