if ur intrested pm me and i find out wat hes gt in stock

I dealt with Cosmopolitan Cars on Parramatta rd and they were excellent to me. Fantastic car in great nick. Haven't had any issues with the car at all, apart from things I've done...

Plan on going back to them to get my next import...

+1 for Northshore Prestige

I was recommended to Nth Shore Prestige last year. Visited their small but tidy premises and workshop and was impressed at their condition of cars. Add another benefit of Ben who was very easy to deal with and no sales pressure at all. Went back there a few days later and purchased an R34 sedan. 4 months down the track I decided i need a bigger car so went back to Ben and he gave me a deal for an NM35 Stagea. I traded the R34 in for next to the price that i purchased it for, plus he gave me a $4k discount on the Stag. There's no way any other dealership would give me such a deal.

3 months after owning the Stag, the right front wheel bearing started to expire so I took it back and they covered it under warranty, even though it was just out of the 3mth warranty period.

I was so impressed with how they conducted their business that I have told many ppl about them. So much so that 2 parties have already purchased their imports through Ben.

On top of that, I bought my third car through Ben last week. He charges no fees for finding the right car for you in the Japanese auctions, as long as you comply the car through their workshop. He gave me a detailed summary of the breakdown of the costs from fob price, shipping, duty and gst, compliance, and other misc costs. This information proved very handy as I could compare it against other big online importers such as Prestige Motorsport, Imports 101 and J Spec. It worked out cheaper than all of the 3 mentioned importers, and in one instance, it was several thousand dollars cheaper.

Their website is www.northshoreprestige.com.au

    • 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).
