this is great :)

I thought I was the only person who went through this - I know exactly where you are all coming from.

I park in the last spot in the carpark at work b/w a wall and a long column, or try to park away from all of the cars at shopping centres.

I was sick of my old car (laser tx3 turbo) getting banged up all the time by d*ckheads - people with no respect for other peoples cars is MY PET HATE!!!!!!!!

hey akeenan, where abouts in melb do u work?

the worst are people who don't respect their car and who definitely don't respect other peoples cars, i see some ppl in their shiat box (and sometimes expensive cars) just rip it into the parking and then open their door wide without worry about knocking the car parked next to them. i hate getting dents on the door from other ppl..

I take the rego numbers of the cars parked next to me. If there's any paint from there doors on my car, I'll find who they are.

thats a good idea. i gonna try that... prolly write down the colour of their car aswell just in case they leave any paint behind.

heres a few golden rules i live by when parking.

1.) whenever it is possible park next to a garden, pole whatever limit the number of people who can park next to you.

2.) If there are no garden/pole/whatever spots avaliable park as far away from every other car as possible.

3.) make people aware at work/at school that a particular parking spot is urs so they dont park in it..

ive done this and now people leave me certain spots wether im at school or at work.

4.) Make a friend park next to you, this is what I do at school, I park next to the garden spot and my friend parks next to me!

5.) whenever it is possible take a parents car :(

thats about it...

oh I kinda work at chadstone mcdonalds.....argh :) , but also at a bottlo as well

The ONLY time that we've parked the Skyline in a shopping complex (saw a movie) was when we parked it in the corner, right against the wall, and parked a friends Barina right in front of it so it was hard to see, and you'd have to steal both cars to get the Skyline :)

my girlfriend tends to get alittle pissed cos i dont always take the first available spot at shopping centers, im a choosy person and wont just park next to anything, even if im only going to be 5mins :(

need to be next to a pole or someone with a nice ride (even another skyline for that matter)

see, if u park next to a (even a light modded car), theyll respect your car as much as their own and will try not to wacktheir door onto your car

or even someone that looks as though they just bought a new car :) rare, but theyre out there

haven't had any trouble with car door dents, but last time i was in a shoping centre i was in the only half hour and came out and my boot badge was gone!!!!! in full daylight and rite out the front near the doors, alot of people have NO respect these days:cuss:

Woooaahh.. Look what i started :)

Its a bit hard to find a nice car to park next to where i live (Backward hill billy mother F@#U#$C@$K SHITHOLE) where a nice car consists of a VL commodore with 17" wheels and an exaust..

So when they see my R33 with 18" crome wheels they get PISSED off that they cant afford something like that and do shit to my car..

I should install a PC with some camera's on all angles of the car to go off on motion. How cool would that be ?

This is how stupid and how backward they are...

They would probly leave the PC and just steal the lose change in the console once they realise it has a hardcore imobiliser

Last time i was in shopping centre car park i was backing into by a 4WD.. $2000 later ( thank god it wasnt my fault) and thats the last time i take the skyline to a shopping centre..Usually i take the sukzuki .. but if i really have to.. I used the park next to a pole or park far far away deal..

Cheers

    • 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).
