Hey,

These are the photos you asked me for earlier, sorry you can't see a damn thing, all the wiring is hidden. The only two wires coming from the distributor go to + and - on the coil. There's no ballast resistor, no vacuum advance... nothing! There is a one additional wire going to the + and one to the -, but I couldn't trace where they originate from.

Hope it's of some use anyway.

Cheers,

D

Thanks guys and Mag 86 I believe your right. The good news is I'm picking up a 280zx dizzy on sat morn,rushing it to the mechanic who i hope is going to have it running same day.Thanks for the effort on the pics Drew, and guess what I saw just around the corner in someones back yard? a 210 4 door. I knocked but nobody home so I slipped down the side to see if it was man or auto.Turns out to be man but fully gutted inside. I'll go back tomorrow and ask what's happening with it. I'd really like to manualise my coupe and grab the bumpers. Ill let you know the story.

Oddly there IS a vacuum advance on my dizzy, but it has been left disconnected - no hose. It came back that way from the auto electrician and I didn't notice till later. Maybe it doesn't work, or they deemed it superfluous, or maybe, just maybe, they happen to be a pack of 2-bit retards! Still, I'm none too fazed and aren't going to get nasty about it; the car is going just fine without it. I gave it a run with the vacuum advanced connected to the manifold and I couldn't pick any difference. Maybe it is cactus and no-one ever mentioned it.

Keep me posted about that 4 door. I've always got room for another 4 door. Even one without bumpers!

Drew, spoke to the young lady at the house tonight,her boyfriend was given it but has sold it to a mate who's turning it into a rally car. She's going to get him to ring me regarding the bumper. Hopefully he don't need bumpers for what he's doing.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
