yes I remember getting one airborne in Kalgoorlie on those big dipper intersections they have. Nothing like the sound of sump on bluemetal.

What raw power!

Av a lon drive and you'll want to do burn outs till the auto dies.

Allow from about $32,000 plus tyres and on road costs for this one, thanks to the 5 speed transmission which tends to add another $4,000 to $5,000 to the price of 1996+ Chasers. Compliance would require removal of all performance modifications including the aftermarket intercooler. Following registration, the owner could of course fit back the original modifications if they wish to, in keeping with the licensing regulations of their State.

Another example of the cars the Govt. don't want us to have, modified that is. Stock standard examples will be eligible for import.

the climate control looks strangley like the one in my mums car... o.-

Chasers like this one are now eligible under the new SEVS system, and compliance is only a matter of weeks away. Now is a great time to buy before Australia-wide demand increases the prices which is inevitable. This model is destined to become as popular an import as the Skyline and Soarer have been for the last 3 years. The modifications on this one would have to be removed and replaced with factory items to get through compliance. Following registration however, there are no restrictions on owners making performance modifications to their vehicles providing they comply with their State's regulations.

Saw one of these the other day driving behind it on the Parkway in Canberra. Thought it was just sum regular jo-blo camry till i got closer and saw Mark V Series 2 on the back. It was black & was being granny driven by the owner. Looks so much like a sleeper I reckon anyone that gives it a go would get a shock!

I have seen a MkII JZX100 in the flesh, the first and only one at the time, and prob still now in australia, it is at a dealership on parramatta road, and it is F***ING BEAUTIFUL. It is one of the only auto( :D ) cars id love to own.

SO yeah if u want to see one, drive down parra road, i forget the dealership, it is one of the import dealerships on the side going towards the city. Well worth seeing, i think they want about 36k for 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).
