I heard that there is somewhere you can drive your car up onto a big ramp or something and get underneath so you can have a go at it with a high pressure hose. Although I'm thinking the driveway idea might be the best option as I have a steep drive, just have to get a hold of some ramps.

I find there is usually a way to have the front end of the car hanging over the steep part of the driveway as most of them have a flat part and a ramp part. Put ure wheel just over the crest and then reverse it to get to the other half.

Make sure u chock the wheels so u dont get squashed though. Just in case ure park brake fails by some evil magics.

Thanks for all the ideas guys and Rob for the offer of the ramps. I ended up borrowing some ramps off a mate who lives nearby and used our slanted driveway to get under the car. Already have a high pressure hose and some degreaser, so was able to give it a good clean. Didn't realise that some areas under there are actually grey, not black!! Anyway, came up well, so I'd recommend this technique for anyone doing the same.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
