Just been assembling everything at the moment then over the next few weeks get the side pipe done and the widebody all molded in. Probably end up making all my fuel lines and other braided/teflon hoses to.

Just got some scrap pirelli's on the front and Dunlop semis on the rear. All 295/30/18. Was surprised the 295's actually fit pretty well on a 10.5.

Will msg you sometime to pop down and have a look. Usually here late a few nights a week.

Luke awesome work brutha, well done with your efforts, she is going to be a sexy-beast with them wide body additions!!! Can't wait to see the final product!!

One of my favourite 4 door pixs from the web!!

Brief update.

Got the boot floor cut out today.

Subframe all braced up

Fuel cell/boot bracing made up

And the sway bars arrived smile.gif

what the bracing on the subframe for? didnt think there would be much movement / twist in it?

looks like a awesome build tho!

Nice cooler...looks like the R spec full knife end inlet edition...extremmely hard to get now.

I used 280 Michelin Full slicks from the GT series cars...just ask the tyre fitters at the track for the used sets..usually 50-$75 each. Good enough for a 1:16.0 on my street suspension at lala.

We can do 2.8 kits now with CP pistons if your in need...much easier than converting to 3ltr

Who is we? What is the "kit". Feel free to PM if you like.

Luke, let me know when you are free mate, would not mind to come check out the beast.

    • 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
