After selling my 32 in december last year i have been searching for my new ride.

I have finally found what i have been looking for and it arrives in my driveway on Wednesday.

I cannot wait for it to arrive, and take it for a spin.

Must thank this site as i bought a car out of the for sale section, it has made most of the journey from QLD now and will be in my driveway on wednesday.

Must also thanks VIP car inspections for there help in the buying process of inspecting and checking the car for me. As well as handing over my bank cheque, and making sure that the car was loaded onto the truck to make its way down to me. They have kept me informed all the way through the process.

As for the car, you will have to wait until the next criuse that there is unless i give in and let the cat out of the bag before then.

Thanks

Shaun :happy:

it is an r34 4 door, 2001 model manual

thought about a GTR but i wanted something a little less costly, as i used to own an r32 gts4 and had to replace both front and rear diff and a gearbox. i know how much they can potentially cost to fix. So i went for something a litle more practical.

Have just come back from my first drive in the car.

First impressions are that it is awsome, the way it rides, handles and makes power is unbvelievable.

I think i am in love. :laugh: lol

nice hope we get to see it soon!

yes, it was nice to meet you Nahn.

Everybody else will see it around as it gets out a bit more.

For now it is back in the shed after shopping for some parts at autobarn gilles plains.

anything on sale at autobahn? apprently there is 10 - 50% sale, which i think begins tomorrow...or is that today?

i thought that was just tuesday?

Dunno about you guys but i always found autobarn to be a rip off even when they had the sales on???

    • 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
