everyone thinks theyre car is the "best" one in the country.. i bet theres about 400 better examples than ur car out there champ

And I bet you're wrong :)

Easily one of the nicest GT-R's I've ever seen...

But back on topic, get the body checked out as mentioned, as well as the mechanicals. Good luck with it.

As other people have mentioned, Aaron's R34R possibly IS one of the best in the country so unless you've seen it in action, I'd be careful of what you say about the car.

As for GTA, I bought my car from GTA back in 02. If you would like an honest opinion of them, PM me as I can't tell you everything about them on this public forum. I can tell you that they weren't very helpful when the car failed and I needed a repairer ASAP due to their negligence.

When I had the car checked out, they simply said that they'd pay for anyone I chose to do the check as long as I bought the car. At the time though, I didn't know of Racepace but if I had the knowledge I have now, Racepace is definitely the place to go to check out your future car.

Can't go past Mick @ MiColour at 7 Dissik Street Cheltenham. Many of regular SAU-Vic members have used Mick and swear by his work (me included). He's not as cheap as some out there but his work is 100% perfect once the work is done. He's also a major sponsor of SAU-Vic which means he'll give you a member's discount.

Thanks for all the info.

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
