As some of you are aware, Andrew and I are doing a road trip in Sinbad to good ol sunny Cairns in 2 weeks.

I've finally convinced Andrew that we should put mesh over the cooler, it's the one thing I'm concerned about.

The paint is easily fixed, it's ****ed anyway, so I don't really care if it chips. The cooler on the other hand, I don't really have $2500 to replace.

So, if someones got some mesh lying around that they don't want/need (big enough to over lap the M-Spec front bar hole), and would like to donate it to my "help erin protect her cooler on the way to cairns" cause, please let me know!

Alternatively, we can just go to supercheap and pick up some of their mesh for $30 and some sikaflex for $25 and be done with it.

In true Andrew style, he wants to use zippy ties :P

So if anyone can help me out, please post here!

No :rofl: Not kangaroos.. Just rocks from hitting my intercooler.

I've been informed that we can use sikaflex by 2 different guys that work for panel beaters. Apparently we can just "heat it up and pull it off" when we get back.. Has anyone used/done this before and can confirm it?

Don't use heat risitant Sikaflex...use the regular one otherwise it will be a bitch to remove without melting your front bar...

Also another idea that I have used before is wire fly screen from Bunnings, the plastic stuff would most likely not be strong enough!!!!

Dankies Jason (oops.. I mean Melv) :cheers:

Someone did mention fly screen but we are a bit concerned it wouldn't hold up over 4000k's... is it really that strong?

Erin, your car is fast, but it dont do 4000kmh. It should be fine. Just supervise Andrew if he is putting it on, make sure its done rite :)

    • 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
