Nice Car.... Major Kudos... (deserves a bump)

Looking for my next race car (as I have sold my twin turbo celica)..... nearly fits the bill, shame no brake upgrade though.... going around corners requires slowing down for them... lol..

Bit too much for me, as 10 sec GTRs can be had for $26K..... alot extra for 1 sec... but the hardest second is to get is the one in front of you...

Good luck with the sale, I'll keep an eye out just in case you need cash tomorrow, and you need a fire sale to keep you warm...

10 sec GTR's are 26K because they have had nearly double that outlay to get them there.

the same applies with 60K 9 sec GTR's.

this car is purpose built to go fast both on strip and track.

and has proven to be more reliable than any 10 sec GTR ive own or known. To finish first you must first finish.

choose your brake upgrade and visit your bank...hey its only money!

i think you need to be very careful! with all these supposedly 26 grand 10 sec gtr's around the place! :laugh:

i dont know of too many 450 kw daily driver gtr's out there, and if you take it to a drag strip or circuit make sure you take a trailer.

lol.... we did take a trailer, and we needed it.... Raced GTR.27L in the Vic 2007 dutton, and broke a front hub, and went through a Jim Berry twin plate (that was already fairly used before the event)... Won an event though which was nice. Looking for a GTR to replace the Celica in the Dutton Rally.

I saw this at Auto Saloon, and looked sweet.... just a little (cough cough 30K little) out of my price range... just hoping number 3 at Doonban comes in first place.... hey 100 to 1 shot, but you never know.... lol...

Did you drive Glen Laws' car? He's a good friend of mine. If you only have 30K, buy his car...he's selling it.

Moderators have already removed enough of your posts.

Unless you are seriously interested in this car at its reasonable asking price, please don't post in this thread again or a warning will result.

Offering half of the asking price is not just low balling, its an outright insult and shows that you have absolutely no comprehension of what it takes to build a car of this standard.

Ummmm, not only is my GTR a daily driver, it was driven all day as a company car. My wife drives the car effortlessly. It makes no boost under 5000rpm so I find it more tractable than most modified GTR's.

It makes 450rwkw on pump gas with an ultra conservative tune, highest knock ever recorded is around 16. My previous set up made 371rwkw with 2530's and knock on hot days was often in the high 50's. Close tp 500rwkw is easily achievable with my set up, its just not needed as this is a 100% street car.

Dirt Garage, your GTR is as nice as any I have seen, I hope you stick to your guns and get the price this car deserves.

Blitz, just to clarify, I was never offering $35K for his car, I was stating it was $30K out of my price range (which is $35K). Hence I talked about winning big at the races to afford the differences.

DirtGarage and I both live in Newcastle, and we have a common friend Glen Laws, I was the driver of his car in a Race Rally that just passed. It was actually another drag racing friend of mine - Shane 1JZ-747 that told me his car was for sale (He also runs 9s). Most know me in Newcastle, as I have been in the game longer than most.

My post is not to offend anyone, it doesn't seem to offend DirtGarage, but offends you? Fair enough. I'm sorry. No more post from me until there is cash on the table.

DG, I am looking at Glen's car by the way, but I have some others to look at in that price range first.....

Thanks mate, ours made 450+awkw @20psi on a very conservative run in tune at autosalon with BP98 would do that figure all day every day. It was so rich a lot of the show cars next to the dyno cell complained about the ammount of fuel their cars were coated in after the runs. hehe 11.2:1 in the top end from memory, and very conservative timing figures as well.

TTcelica, i understood where you were coming from, quite simply if no one comes up with the required cash i keep the car. I quite like the look of a 9 sec GTR race car sitting there when i go to the shed to "sharpen the mower blades"!

yes , but as a 10 second al day everyday car can you go race it around a circuit repeatedly or a rally for that matter! and will it last.

if it will last then it is worth more than 26 grand. ( i have no doubt there are 10 sec daily driver gtr's out there but if there going to be raced and last they will be worth more than 26 grand)

was my point

yes Russ...thats why there's no 2nd hand cranks or blocks around anymore. Cheaply built cars busting them all the time.

Plenty of offers (mostly trades with cash) but nothing that has taken my fancy as yet...keep em coming!

The Sport Compact National Championship starts next month...Anybody want to be an Australian Champion?

This car has the ability to win as it is ultra consistent..$65 000 to be an Aussie champ and still have a road car to drive at the end of the season.

If no-one buys it before the Sydney round im going to compete and steal some championship points off someone who will want them more than I do....hehehe

    • 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).
