Your going to need to rebuild the coilovers anyway, that or get new ones, if they have seized up, 99.9% chance the seals are also gone.

WOW

now thats some deep dish man. I thought my cefiro was bad. The previous owner in japan has squeezed 195 on a rim that should have 225 or something bigger.

Anyways they are hanging at least and inch outside that guards.

I need a wide body kit

Definately gonna need some creative flaring to fit those on...........those tyres seem to be to high for your car too.......How wide are the rims?

I have had 255/35/18 sized tyres fitted to 11" wide rims.......and they maintained the correct overall rolling diameter. the 255/45/18 you have on there are way to high.

cheers big-ears! is that sitting on your car with spacers? how much you sell em for in the end anyways?

I showed ben and he made some grunting noises and slapped his forehead.

I showed gareth and he was like "hmmm I could do that to my 4 door R32 GTE (with the RB30E VL Commonwhore SOHC engine transplant) and graft some 2 door GTR rear fender flares onto the door and back... and get some GTR front fenders to make a 4 door GTR.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
