Hi between me and my brothers we own

Nissan 350Z

Nissan Skyline R33

Nissan Skyline R34

And a

Nissan GITR

and have just all moved to CAIRNS

does anyone know who to talk to for maintenance, tuning and anything else we may want to fit?

So you like Nissan's eh?

This is a very good question and one which I wish I could answer for you but can't. Here in this sublime piece of paradise we, the true believers, are still a very minor minority and unless your car is built by the dodgy manufacturers in Victoria it is very difficult to have someone not turn their collective noses up at your pride and joy.

Now having said that, there is quite a good group of Skyline and other assorted Nissan fanatics here in the wet sunny north. As far as businesses go, Leigh Holmans Special Vehicles Services (they have a dyno - all wheel drive from memory), Cairns Leading Automotive Services (Dyno Dynamics Dyno - 2 wheel) and a couple of other dedicated enthusiast types offer good service. As far as parts etc go, The Nissan dealer is very helpful and the Internet is a wonderful tool. Holmans has a good young bloke (Cameron) who is really getting his head around tuning Apexi PFC's. Holman's do good quality work and are slightly above average in price (at least I think so) but worth it.

However if you see any of the Skyline/Silvia crowd I am sure they will be able to point you in the right direction.

If you want to chat, just give us a call (0400-006864). I am one of the older Nissan tragics (not necessarily more mature) and own an R34 GTT.

Anyway welcome to the North.

Cheers

Murray

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      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
