I dunno Alan - car looks tuff to me. Here's a better shot. I'm not a huge fan of the red red ferrari's. If I was ever stupidly rich enough to be able to get one for fun I would get one in the burgandy color they come in. I reckon that looks awesome. But anyways....

Yeah, photos came from the WRX forums.

Wonderful thread bout whether WRXs are better than Ferraris....WTF???!!!!

lol! Snowy we await your response!

Na look some people are tools. Some guy reckons because his modded wrx was able to keep up with a ferrari that a wrx must be better than a ferrari.

He suffers from delusions.

I mean last year at Sandown I chopped a 355 and in the Dutton blew off a 996 RS. But I know my car isn't better than either of them.

um...are they pulling out to overtake, or just getting a better angle... either way thats a damn nice car!

I may go out on a limb here and say that I would prefer a hard top over the convertible, I always find the soft top wrecks the cool roof lines of a coupe... examples would be the 350Z, 911, etc

Has anyone watched some of those Best Motoring videos? In every race where there is a Ferrari it has come last. It was beaten by R34 GTR's, 911 Turbos, Murcielago's and even a M3. It wasnt the driver either. One time it was Gansan and even he said that Ferrari's tend to perform poorly on the track due to the lack of 4WD. I'd still get one though.

Why are they comparing a RWD to 4WDs with just as much if not more power? That's simply unfair. As for the M3, I'm betting it wasn't a one sided fight there.

Don't get me wrong, I think they are all magnificent cars (having driven all of them bar the Lambo) but when comparing things, don't compare a fork to a spoon.

    • 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).
