Nice corvette mate! I've always preferred the 63 and the 69 to any other models, but hey, they are all nice.

Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it? I've always been interested in owning a corvette, and you see so few of them around Adelaide.

Old friend of the family used to own a red '68 model. I was in love :P

yer thats fine i paid $25,000 three years ago, looking around now you would find it hard getting one for that price. Adelaide is hard to cos as you said not reali that many around, id say $30,000 and you coud get one. if you reali wanted a vet and didnt mind going for a newer model a C4 you can get cheaper

Nice looking cars buddy. Both look the goods.

Almost bought a L34 torana about 10yrs ago but couldnt get the finance for it. I had only started up my truck business a few months before and they wanted me to get a guarantor but my dad said no (doooooww) .

It was white with the black lines down the side (standard L34) and all matching numbers and interior 120,000 kms. Only mod was a ford 9" diff. They were asking $13,500 dollars for it .

I would hate to think what it would be worth now (only made 500 And most were for bathurst)

Also had a LH 202 4 spd torana as my second car (gold with gold hot wires) but it was written of thanks to some bi#*h doing an illegal u turn (an no, not at merino)

What do you think you would get for the torana today?

ur kidding mate!!! i would have killed for the chance to own a L34 for that price, now u would be looking at nearly $100,000 for one!

I have been offered $10,000 for it and $12,000 but seeing as it was my first car i would hate to part wid it. plus all the time my dad, grandpa and i spent on it!

    • 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).
