My car hasn't even been started yet :rant: awaiting the assesor to approve the quote ($9000)

Well teh turbo might might not be a bit of a dud. Well the thing is defiantly rebuilt, shaft play is as per spec ext, but the thing took 2 weeks to gete here and was wraped in a rag to keep it clean, the box got water damaged the turbo aluminium housing got wet, and now all looks like it's got icicles growing out of it.

I am going to see if i can fix it, if not, i get my money back and a high flow.

AND begor GMB tels me i told you so. I TOLD YOU SO.

No doubt i will, just depends who is going from the south :P

9k damage hey, doesn't sound like a fair insurance reaming at all by the bodyworks :laughing-smiley-014:

and the assesor said i need a new intercooler, one of the fins has been bent since i got it. So now I get a new intercooler, I have to see the bodyworks today to make sure they order the right one, as the one that's on it now is a huge HKS one. So I don't want them putting on a hybred rip off or something.

mmmmmmm

maybe i can get the garbage dude to "reverse" into my car...

DO you think they would buy that the wheels fell off along with the brakes, unbolted the motor and everything else in the engine bay, removed the front bar and FMIC & oil cooler along with a few other things :thumbsup:

I had a look today, and the intercooler did have damage from the acident. Gave the bodyworks the brand and p/n so it all should be good :(

Shannons don't realy care about the cost, it's not their money :rant:

finally got the rest of the kit on, car also has a small photo in HPI this issue for tassie drift series :happy:

Looks great Stu

love the fat vertex look :ph34r:

Im still undecided if i want to kit my car or not yet, will wait till its back on the road first i think :whistling:

are you comming up this weekend stu.

looks like my car will be ready to go by saturday. would be ready to go now if the trail shaft was finshed when they said it would be.

mmmm the sweet sound of a fresh 2.5L

Of course you want to put a kit on your car, 32s look phat with kits...

mine an BN sports by the way...I ran over the vertex at the drift day haha

I've got a vertex kit (has been sitting here for a year and half :happy: ) but if i do decide to put a kit on im keen on something a little different but having trouble finding a supplier :(

The only down side is getting in/out of my driveway and using the car on a regular basis with the clearance issues with a kit fitted :ph34r:

    • 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
