I suppose if it was in the boot now, the car would be a 5.5L single turbo. *thinks* RB55QET?

Matt i am not blind, 15yo imports are a good idea, but just remember these cars do not come road worthy or registered may need new tyres and even need money spent on them to get them to road worthy standard. The car may cost 7-8 grand to buy, but mostly they say have another 1500 bucks to spend on the car when it gets here. Plus that his car has to sit on the docks in japan for another 5-6 months and then be shipped over here which may take even more time.

But if he is willing to wait HELL YES TO THE 15YO IMPORT.

So who has the best car around CQ i know a fella with a skyline and noone has beaten him in gladstone yet so it must be pretty good might be a 32 GTR not sure

Yeah its pretty hard to judge who has the best car in CQ cause there a lots of different ideas of who has the best car.

I know that this is a skylines forum and all, BUT, I am working on a car at the moment, a 1966 VC valiant, and hopefully when JC Performance Engineering (HE HE HE) are finished with the car it will be able to peel of some pretty decend numbers down that 1/4 mile strip of road. Now the car wont stop, turn or handle but i dont want it to.

I actually looked into getting a 15 year old gtr through prestige and their method of storage was leaving the car on the docks under a car cover! The guy from prestige actually said if the car is under a cover no one will be interested in it and that they are

behind a six foot wire fence so they are in has words 'safe' from theft. My personal opinion is the guy smokes way to many cigarettes with blue veins in them.

Yeah i need to get my monthy fix at the drags if you read the bully. But yea there just might be a gun metal grey 32 at the drags on the 16th. we need heaps of people to come for the drive to the beach on sunday. makes for more fun. should we do parilla or go to that thai place next where Mrs rick works?

Stuff the Tai i dont need to crap throught the eye of a needle...AGAIN.

And yes cause you are dating him, i mean his family, you do share a bond, a bond of love and....

Good to see you will be racing a the drags, oh yes and when they said that you were on a front page spread it did not realise that it was you that was going to be doing the sprend. HE HE HE.

    • 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).
