Hey everyone,

Unlike the majority of guys and girls here, I am not 100% with all the bits and pieces on the Skyline, and am quite adamant to do any servicing or maintenance myself (oils, sparkies, o2 sensors etc.)

Usually for this type of dilemma I'd just consult a workshop and pay some guy to do it all... but I have read that people tend to rip you because you own a performance machine.

As such, I am seeking anyone who is confident with their Skylines (particularly R34s and RB25DETs) to help with some of the small things - paid for of course.

I'm seeking Northern Beaches people due to proximity to home but if anyone is genuine about it, I don't mind driving :cheers:

Thanks all! I know a lot of you may think its strange or whatever, but seriously - just not too confident with my knowledge of the car ~

Thanks all... at the moment just an oil change, new oil filter and change the sparkies to Iridiums. Possibly do the o2 sensor (Ford EL unit as well).

I have most of the gear ready.... just need a time and place (Sunday is most preferable since I work all 6 other days)

Can you guys just post up how much I'm looking at for something like that from one of you?

Cheers for the support ^^

Can I come and watch? Is there lots of parking at your house?

Im free Sunday too and would love to learn! :P

Dudes...

Beer and ample company or "spectators" are most certainly welcome... I will provide the beer (please put preferences).

As for the space where we're going to do it... Unless you like to work on cars at a 45 degree angle, my house is not good at all.

1 extra case of beer to the person who donates house as well :P

Also, I'm going to go buy the Motor Oil and o2 Sensor this weekend...

Any suggestions on which oil to use (Motul is the favourite on SAU) and where to get it from for cheap? If your answer is going to be Motul, please give me the number as well as there are a few available.

o2 sensor fron NTK or ACA... which one is better? And again, where should I buy it from?

Thanks

Compared to Motul is that better? I have heard several SAU members use that ELF.

Please work out a price for me then ;) Where is Powerplay Imports - obviously I'd need to pick it up from you~

It's great oil as it's 100% Synthetic and very reasonably priced.

Elf claim that it is a better quality oil to the Motul 300V and that it doesn't break down as easily asthe Motul does

We're on 82 Victoria Rd Drummoyne. Come over the Harbour Bridge, then the Anzac Bridge and up Victoria Rd. We're on the right hand side after the Iron Cove Bridge with 2 R34's parked out the front so you wont miss us.

    • 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).
