Hey everyone, Im new to the forum and skyline owning, I had a TT 300ZX for a while, nice car if it didnt keep breaking down. Anyways, just wondering if you R33 owners have the ghost that locks the passenger door when you shift to 2nd gear. Im guessing its a safety thing, can anyone tell me if its normal and if there is a fuse I can pull to stop it.

Ta peeps

Or is it a 19km/h tuck and roll ??

its 20klms isnt it??

sorry to be annoying but its actually 25km

and yes it can be disabled, i think its kind of cool though...

in my car ive set it up so both doors automatically lock when you turn the car on and when you turn it off they both unlock.

surely mine isnt the only line with the unlock switch by the drivers window controls?!! :D For those of you who find the auto door lock annoying, do you actually use this switch, or do you let your passengers fumble around trying to unlock their door themselves??! :shake:

i used to use it...

u dont want non familiar skyline people touching your shit! messing around with your pride and joy.

after installing my alarm my door also does that. turn on engine, it will both locks and turn off engine it will both unlocks.

if for some reason the passenger is unlocked, like someone getting off, then it will lock itself again when I drive over 20km/h.

I like this feature for security purpose.

Wow, seems heaps of people have lots to say. I find that when I stop, I open my door (sometimes im even out of the car) and then find the passenger trying to fumble with the lock...its not usual to get in the passenger side of a car, not lock the door then arrive to have it locked. I just think its annoying even with the driver side control lever thing...i guess it just being new to it, but my 300zx didnt do it. Thanks again people for answering my query so quick

    • 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).
