Congrats Lauren and Paul and welcome to your first mortgage. Sounds like a pretty nicely setup place and a long termer to boot. Don't forget to check the rafters in the garage for strength to lift an engine out (or in) yourselves. Saves on car repair bills so the mortgage gets paid :(

From the title I actually thought there might be a wedding or ..... news of a hybrid V Spec model GTSt from the Nismo shop (oh I'm so funny today) :P

If anyone knows where we can get a cheap but nice BBQ and Outdoor setting let us know! We are going to be doing a lot of living outside :P Its that kinda house! Heated Pool, Spa, Cabana (all i need now is the Cabana boys! haha *jk* babey)

Congradulations to both of you. I wish Troy and I had our diposit up aready. We will be looking mid next year i think.

Outdoor furnishings, go to segals, wait for their boxing day sale. My outdoor setting was only $200, and its really nice. 6 seater with glass table. Just after christmas they have a massive sale, thats when i got mine a few years ago. And also, its ment to be one that doesnt have rust proof on it, but not a spot of rust so far and we live pretty close to the ocean.

As for a bbq, they are expensive, and knowing paul, he will want one with lots of bits and "toys" on it, ... BBQs for blokes are an ego thing like their car i think.. well, thats what troy is like. Maby a second hand one off ebay or the quoka for now if money is tight. I got mine for $20 in a garage sale, Its prob 20 years old, but does the job. That 20 years of build up makes it taste better anyway!!

What do you mean first mortgage, this is now my second :D I've crippled my "Rebuild a 600hp engine" fund ;)

Plenty of room for a few cars out back, and a hoist :P

I'm only 22 - I'm not ready for saggy b00bs, trackie dacks and parent teacher meetings for a while yet. Thanks GTRgeoff :P

Hey Kyles good advice about outdoor setting thanks :P Trust me time flies and Troy and you will be in debt up to your eyeballs before you know it.

Paul - oil splotches on decking really isnt a good look hun.

What happened to the other bit???? :P

Well good luck all the same mate to both you and Lauren, and a couple of mortgages means more cars, not less. I got 5 cars now....

Thinking twice about that barbie at Kyles place if the offer ever comes........

Nothing wrong with my bbq ;) I dont think it will be big enough though for all off SAU.... Micko's is pretty good but :) ..cant pinch it but paul, i think its built in.

When we were looking (and troy was drooling) at bbqs, some can be up to $6000!!! I couldnt belive how much a bbq was! They have a gas stove, oven and all, really who needs a kitchen!! Would be nice to have, but we have different priorities at the moment... like a $900 dog.. humm... i think troy and i have to stop spending and start saving... well... troy start saving.. me spend ;) bwahahahaa... im making an effort... i only bought 2 peices of clothing the other day, and i didnt walk out of the shoe store with 7 pairs of shoes like I did the previous time :D I think im doing very well :)

Sorry, didn't mean to be too harsh on the Barbie Kyles. We all know what you said is true. Plenty of heat and no critters survive and they alway taste better well used.

My better half is keen on me "saving" as well so when the old barbie needed replacing we decided on a style and waited as prices came down. Ended up with one from Bunnings (everything a real man ever needs, power tools, BBQ's the lot). 6 burner with a Wok and trolley and roasting hood. Twin chargrill racks and single plate. Started at 800 and we got it for 500. Then I found the temp was just not enough sometimes so I got out the smallest drill bit I have at around 0.7mm and rejetted them. Barbie now has turbo boost!!!!

I'd be happy to biatch at a barbie with the WA crowd. That way everyone gets to say hi but no plans right now.....maybe later.

And Paul is just discovering, as a true gentleman, that discretion is the better part of valour. But we still have the right to stick the knife in. :)

Cheers

Wow !!

Very good you pair and about time the money was spent on something that appreciates rather than depreciates.

Best part of a mortgage is that in a few years the bank will loan you anything cos you have equity.

Bring on the pair of 34's :P

I will also tell Adam ( who we sponsor ) , and Drift Mike ( who now works here ) to paint some rubber lines from Gnangara Rd to your place :):P.

Ellenbrook is becoming a real SAU/drift persons haven.

Will make it easier for us to find you then...

hehe

Cheers

Ken,

I've also heard Ellenbrook provides a safe haven for Skyline Hoons on the run from the cops ;) Now they will have somewhere more comfy to hangout :lol:

Haha, me either Ken B)

Niz and I thought about moving into Ballajura with you Ken, but thought your neighbours wouldn't appreciate even more noisey cars hanging about ;)

Geoff, We'll put a BBQ on in your honour when you come and drop-off my HICAS lockbar :unsure:

A trip to WA could come off before these slack buggers in Vic actually get the machining done :rolleyes:

    • 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).
