looks rather noice but its bloody dear though.

was after ur FMIC ...thats till i saw the pic of ur car...all i can say is god must luv u to survive a wreck like that.

anyway...my shopping list.

1. Cat Converter - if its a highflow 3 inch unit and not damaged in the accident

2. all silicone hose connections for the FMIC - if not broken.

Cheers buddy

we have got slightly off topic :-) Anyway -

Series 2 260RS's so exist, but only like 250 or so were made I think. Not much demand I guess...
Nope - I'm reasonably sure - I checked this up before getting my RS4S - no 260RS's were made with R34 GTR parts, so there is no such thing as a series 2 RS260.

In fact, looking at the photos, I'm a bit suspicious about this whole car...

but mechanically, it appears to be identical to the s1 260??
I suspect it is..
ODO'S SEEM TOO LOW. ABIT SUS
As per many other posts, I think most dealers out there are setting them to silly numbers - do they really think we are going to believe that a car has done 29K in 7 years? ie 4K a year? Not likely.

I was looking at carsales.com.au the other day, and you could tell many the dealers from the k's on the cars - each lot obvousily had a number that they set every car to +/- 5k...

Sorry to stay off topic, (maybe we need a new one) but,

According to Autech's webpage they never made (took in) Stagea's other than in the list below.

So that rules S2's out, (or any year other than '97 &'98).

See below.

I think we can still call it a "series 2 Autech" but AFAIK it was only a cosmetic re-working, and the R33 GT-R running gear remained, but with the s2 modifications to the headlights, taillights, etc.

Series 1:

yeah no worries, its urs bud. it has to go via a courier company cos its too long for post... Let me know what else u want, wont cost much more to add them in the package i assume.

Cy - never had them.

And darrin do you mean the removable mat...? cos my carpet is pretty well glued to my spare tyre cover panel... theres no removable carpet as such... 3intheback has a removable thingy to keep his boot clean if thats what u mean. i didnt get one.

Are you in brissie, darrin? id love to have a look at your front end conversion some time..

Yes I am on the southside of Brisbane if you want to have a look

I will need the cover that is glued to the carpet aswell then

My left hand side and spare wheel cover has had something spilled on it and eaten the carpet.

Hopefully the series 1 carpet colour is the same as a series 2?

i know its a S1 but are the tail lights S2? if so i want em as i have a cracked lens in the drivers side unit on mine.

also did you have upgraded coil packs (splitfire) or similar?? on your engine, if so i'd like dibs on them please, if they are rescuable of course that is?

    • 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       
    • 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).
