Hi everyone,

newly registered but been a keen reader for over a year. Mainly the forsale section.

Have been dreaming of a GTR for 15 years and i hopeful it will be coming very soon. Lucky at the moment with a few quality GTR's forsale in Perth.

On my way back to Perth next week from workin in Far North Queensland so thats when i'm hoping to get mine.

So is it just me or do other ppl lay awake half the night thinking about Skylines and what we can do to them. There are just an endless list of quality modifications for the skyline.

I've sent the last 5 years and a whole lotta cash (prolly one of the reasons i'm single again) modifying a Yamaha 500cc two stroke Wayne Rainey GP replica. And it still ain't finished. That used to keep me awake half the night too. Finish it one day, maybe i've got a little bored with it recently after some set backs.

Then theres my Nissan Patrol, built to be the ultimate beach basher, that's been on going for 10 years and still ain't finished. Got the small block chev in it but still some work to yet. Mainly cosmetic but still want air locking diffs for it too.

Last month brought a Suzuki 250cc two stroke Kevin Swantz GP replica, when i seen it i couldn't resist, i had to have it. That's eventually destined for a 500cc two stroke as well. That will be insane, 140hp / 130kg. Err nice power to weight ratio!!!!

Anyways look forward to seeing you all on the streets and the tracks/strips behind the wheel of a R32 GTR. I've wanted one of these since the wins at bathurst (Yes i'm old enough to have watched it live on the idiot box.)

I'm working away from Perth alot, all over Oz and all over the world. Just hope i can be in town when there are some cruises and track meets.

Just hope i can get sme sleep tonight with out thinkin bout the twin high mount turbos, maybe it will be the NOS this time. :huh:

Look I'm certainly no expert when it comes to matters of the mind, although you're most probably not alone in suffering this condition I believe it's quite rare, but not necessarily cause for alarm.

anyway

Here's what I think you should do...

Women...give em a go.

Try taking one per night just before bed, you should see a change almost immediately, obviously.... if the problem persists see a doctor. :O:(:D

Good luck with the dream mate.

I got myself one of the 50 Aussie spec GTR's imported for the group A racing, nice bit of nostalgia. Recently I'd been tempted just to sell it off and buy something more practical (even posted it up in the for sale area). Changed my mind. I've started down the path of restoring the looks and mechanicals and finishing the performance package off that I have started.

I think these things are best tuned to around 400hp at the treads for a great street package. With the focus more on power delivery and response. That amount or power doesn't pose too big a threat to drivetrain damage or traction issues.

Nitrous is a alot of fun. The legality issue is a pain for road driving, you need a very modular setup to allow for quick and easy removal/ install. It's certainly one of the cheaper ways to enjoy occasional drag racing (at the motorplex) in your car.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
