hehe age old debate I guess, my g/f is kewl with my car "obesession"

although I have been accused by her that I spend more time an money on my car than her hehehe

she doesn't complain when we rock up to parties in my car tho :wassup:

I guess my obsession is starting to rub off on her coz now she wants to buy a Supra :aroused:

hmmm car or g/f

have to say itz a split 50/50

but to be honest, no matter sexy they are, a car is just a car :)

especially those chicks that are really really girlie.. they just dont understand the concept of a cool car and the effort and time involved....

haha **** i have one into the whole lip gloss thing. dosnt understand cars at all. wonders why i spend all my money on them..

but just now. $600 gucci glasses sass and bide jeans and a haircut. some 1100 later..

He He! Great thread. Must agree though - my missus hates me spending time on the '33 and THEN goes for a drive and has a ball with all the fellas looking at her.

Little do they know that she doesn't know how to put 'the pressures in the tyres'????!!!!!

my gf used to be like that...

then i got her into cars... made her buy a TT soarer which was faster than my GTST much to the amusement of all the SAU VIC guys...

now shes buying a Foreset XT luxury... 155kw turbo 2.5... sure we will squeeze more than that out of it with a few small mods :D

btw - unlike most people including skyline owners, my gf can actually tell the legitimate difference between a GTS, GTST and GTR... even a vspec with the finned diff lol

yeah my gf now owns a S15 GT......

She wont let me drive much anymore. As she loves my new S2 and she now has a passion for her car too. I still need to teach her the importance of washing a car tho...

But at least she goes to events with me and points out a few things i have missed....

My wife loves the car, if you ask her it's her Skyline not ours it's all hers.

She has made saturday "the work on the car day" she is allways looking for new things to do to it including performance stuff.

You should see some of the looks she gets when they pull up beside her to find that it's a girl driving it and shes not scared of the go pedal.

mine has gotten better with the car/s as time has passed.. the torrie i used to own, she hated and was embarrassed by it, but began liking it when the guys in school (when i first met her in yr12) would talk about how cool it was (har har, young hoons in the making).. and now with the skyline, she has more of an appreciation for it and the attention it needs..

as long as i divide my attention evenly, and even at the same time, shes cool with it :P like washing the car, shell man the hose.. mechanical work, shell undo bolts after i ease them that first bit, and changing a tyre she wound the jack up and let it down.. hehe almost sounds like my own little slave :rofl: but really, she tends to like helping and having me proud of her.. so i love her for that :)

shaun.

Hey who says really girly girls arent into cars?

My girlfriend of 4 years is the most girly girl you will ever meet, come to think of it, I dont think i've ever seen her out of her high heels?

She's always correcting the clueless boys at her uni who prattle on about nissan misinformation ;)

Heres to girls who dig cars :)

:cheers:

get yaself a girl that knows that you are good with ya hands, and once a week when ya done polishing the car give her a wash and wax too, she'll stop complaining soon enough

hmm thats not really true....girls who like cars still complain sometimes.

Like Kel, who hurt her back lifting an rb26 block yesterday, she's still complaining :)

    • 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).
