The 33 is going ok. Took it to bridport yesterday for a blast. Its going really well but i have to get an exhaust for it as its very loud on the highway. It only has the 3inch dump pipes into 4inch collector :).

Stock cat back FTW :)

Yeah i know there is not much if i increase the displacment, it's more of a "can i do this" approach.

Hay GMB, do you need a hand with the liner to get it back on the road. I am seing a man about a dog today, i'll see if he has any rear quater windows for you.

Yeah i know where your coming from cobber, i look forward to seeing the project take off :P

Motor is out so now i have to strip it down, swap everything over and attatch the box then drop it back in. Whilst im doing that i have to take the FMIC off and drain/flush the 4L of oil i it :)

Do the piping for the FMIC so it flows better with less joins, see if i can find an auto electrician to give me a hand to tidy up the wiring in the engine bay and look at the headlights. Then there is a matter of all the little fiddly things that i have put off since i first got the car :)

Be great if you can find a window cobber, it would be much appreciated :)

Cheers GMB

Ok so i've decided to keep the car till the end of this year and do a few little things to it.

Im praying for some dry weather so i can drop the motor and box back in and get the thing running and on the road again.

Oh and i found a 1/4 window and its on its way :cool::thumbsup::sleep:

Now where did i put that shopping list :laugh:

hi GMB. ill come and give you a hand on the auto elec side of things if you like. i could make the trip down for a day and do it all for you. if theres one thing i love its tidying up wiring on imports.

i could give you a run down on some of the cars ive worked on but that would be bragging.

let me know anyway (pm)

HA HA HA thanks cobber but its a bit of a drive just to give someone a hand on there car for the day :P

my can Has been dynoed and tuned....and we have joined the 300 club .........301.8 rwkw for the R33.......happydays!

Pretty impressive figure cobber, any plans to use the car for anything in particular at all???

UPDATE FOR ME:

shopping list is getting smaller and car is getting closer to being on the road again :rofl:

My electrical issue's will be the "slowing factor" as its a bigger job than i anticipated, damn Japanese and there scotch locks :laugh:

whats up with the electronics?

Its dodgy and doesn't work in some cases and i want to tidy it up.

Trying to trace back some of the wires is an absolute nightmare though :woot:

I have to modify and rewire my headlights so i can actually see at night, fix ALL the wiring behind the dash and wire in the gauges.

Where the little shiznits broke in and destroyed the ignition barrel/wiring i have to fix that as well along with removing the earth kit that was in the car.

let me know what you think

So come on Leigh

we all know you've been working on the 33 so time for some pics and specs :O

No, haven't done anything to the car for ages. Going to put the cage in that I have got very shortly, but thats about it.

    • 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).
