BHSS at Mayne in Brisbane do them, they are automotive engineers and do all sorts of brake repairs ect. i went to see them about mine, they charge i think around the $600 to 700 mark to overhaul the units (new seals clean out ect) and they only do ones that are actually working before removal. they cant replace valves or hard parts just seals. give them a call should be able to find them in the white pages, if not ill dig up there munber at work tomorrow.

thanx blur, got their addy & phone. It's amazing what can turn up on these forums. This is my second unit & it leaks like a sieve as well. I don't know how long they meant to last or whether the leak is a big issue, but leaking brakes do worry me, not to mention brake fluid leaking all over the engine bay & eating the paint. I could buy another 2nd hand unit for $550 but its condition may be just as bad, so replacing the seals may be a valid option. Is there a special brake fluid that should be used in these units ???

Cheers.

I'm starting to wonder whether these units can be bypassed with no effect to the other systems on the car. Would be a big saving that way. I've heard stories that new units are worth something like $5000 - $10000. Figure that one out.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
