HI.

I have been searching compulsively for a 93/94 gtr in black (or at least not white)

I have found some clean examples in VIC but they all were white. And all the black ones were

in bad condition.

I have seen one advertised in NSW on car sales and it's a 93 black gtr. From the description it

sounds in good order, but who's to know. It's the one in Penrith for 19000. cant post the link for

some reason

So. Does anyone know of any services that I can arrange an inspection for the car.

Or is there any SAU members/moderators that would be willing to inspect the car for a fee.

I would prefer to be at the inspection but would like someone who is more mechanically aware

than I am to give a better judgement on condition of the motor.

In an Ideal world I would like a report on the condition of the interior / exterior etc and then take

the flight up to NSW to do a thurough check.

Also is there somehow to arrange for the car to be brought down besides driving it myself.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Loc

well I'm not sure about a good workshop out penrith way (I think there is one but can't remember its name?)

UAS is about 15min from there and they could do an inspection for you.

as for getting it home......shipping SYD-MEL is cheap, but why not drive it home and get to know it? flight to syd is cheap on virgin

yes, UAS do a good pre-purchase inspection. my 1993 GTR that I sold the new buyer had it inspected there. I think a full inspection including a compression check was around the $250 mark, but ring them for a quote. if you wanted to they could do a power check on the dyno for you too.

Thanks evryone.

I rang UAS and your right thier about $250

Now the only problem is trying to get the seller to take it thier.

From the sounds of it UAS are the most reputable but if anyone has any good commendations for

Race Solutions in Penrith as posted by BLK180 I might try them to make it more convienient for the seller

But by the sounds of it I think UAS may be a thurough option.

CHEERS.

ps. Now may be the time to also offer to sell a black gtr hehe

yeah race solutions are good. i've had my car tuned there. but given the choice for a pre-purchase inspection I would go to UAS for sure. they are at seven hills. not that far from penrith. maybe 20min drive.

Hey guys,

I am in the same boat as locoloc.

UAS seems to be the place to go for inspection.

Could someone please post the contact details of UAS.

btw, the car is in newcastle. Is there any other place nearby (if UAS is too far from Newcastle) that I can ask the seller to bring the car for inspection?

P.S. I am from WA.

thanks very much

Hi mate, newcastle is a good 2hrs out of sydney so you mught have trouble. not sure where there is a good shop up there. UAS would probably be the closest specialist if they are willing to bring it down to sydney

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
