Ok having trouble with all the materials...

went to clarks rubber and burnnings to get some inspiration for the CAI...

I have found 3meter silver coil vent induction pipe but they cost too much and let alone dont need 3 metere/$21.60.

Found nice silver sheet of aluminium $18.23 or some thing like that, quite suitable...

found foam with silver lining but it also pretty fragile, not sure how it will hold with all the heats from the engine...

my best option is to go with aluminium sheet for the box and for piping...

saw few PVC pipes but hey are booldy heavy and there is not many choice to shoose from, they are rock hard and not sure how malleble they are with heat gun... but I shall try!

anyway thanks for reading... you polly think I am stingie one but yeah I am student with no $$$ :lol:

BTW can anyone show me how to take off the Front stock spoiler for series one?!?

cheers

Joe, the air duct stuff from bunnings is bloody expensive, try an airconditioning supply place (sorry forgot the name of where I went, but it only cost me $11 instead of $21). That foam stuff from clarks seems ok in my car, haven't had probs yet and you have to buy it by the lineal metre, so enough for 2 partitions.

Maybe someone will go halves on both and save you even more dollars (sorry I already gave my leftovers away)

      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
