Yea it's been amazing fun, hope it can go to a good home.

I am not realistically expecting 25g for it, so if anyone is genuinely interested, then please make me an offer!

People will probably want to see the car before being able to make any serious kind of offer .... you'll only most likely get silly offers sight unseen.

By the way, upon sale will it come fully complied with RWC, ready for the new owner to simply take to their local roads authority to register ?

Edited by Simon_Koala

Being a private import it has to be first registered in the name of the person on the import approval, ie. me, and to be registered it obviously first needs to be complianced. So upon sale it will only require the same paperwork as any other used car would.

Here is he latest on getting her back to Australia and registered:

Due to paperwork hassles, it has been put back a ship and will now be arriving around December 20th. After customs/quarantine and transport to my parents place it will have the roof replaced (it probably won't pass roadworthy as it is) and then be fitted with a personal import plate and registered. All this should be finished around early/mid January, when it will be ready to pass on to a buyer.

Received the Bill of Lading from the shipping company today which means she is now on her way to Australia. Will be arriving on December 19th, all going to plan.

I assume you have insurance to cover damage, forklift marks, etc... from the loading onto the ship and for the trip over ?

It's being shipped with KIWI who have insurance included in their price, but on what I've read and heard, trying to get money out of them if the car is damaged is next to impossible. Then again it's apparently true of all the shipping companies, it seems to be a dodgy trade.

The car has arrived and I have recieved the invoice from the broker meaning the car has already passed quarantine/customs and is ready to be transported from the docks.

  • 3 weeks later...

The car has been picked up from the broker in Adelaide and was in perfect condition. It will have the roof fixed hopefully in the next two weeks and then be ready for compliance/registration.

  • 2 weeks later...

It was sent to the panel beaters yesterday to have the roof fixed which should be completed within two weeks. From there it is off to get complied and registered. I know it is taking a long time to get it ready for sale, but for those interested please be patient, the wait is killing me too!

The roof ribs needed replacing and had to be ordered from Japan, which could take up to 15 days. So it looks like she will be at least another month before she gets on the road.

For those interested in the car, I'm sorry about the endless delays. Please bear with me.

  • 2 weeks later...

It is having its roof fixed at the moment. The ribs had to be ordered from Japan and only came on the weekend. It should be back this week, and then it is off for compliance and registration. When it is registered I will be looking to sell it quickly.

Thanks for the interest Simon!!

    • 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
