Hi guys and gals :domokun:

What we have here;

2001 Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-spec II N1

One of only two genuine “lightweight” N1 R34’s in Australia, and 45 ever manufactured. This very successful and well-known vehicle won Targa Tasmania outright in 2005 in the hands of Jason and John White. The vehicle is extremely reliable and very competitive, featuring many new upgrades by Melbourne Performance Centre since purchased in 2007. Built and maintained with a “no expense spared” outlook, the vehicle features all the factory N1 racing upgrades, including deleted air con, engine oil cooler & lightweight glass. Some major features are listed here (plenty of other things that i can explain on the phone);

1. Custom built Chrome Molly FIA cage

2. Proflex suspension (recently rebuilt and new rear springs)

3. AP V8 Supercar full-floating rotors

4. Custom made (!!!) billet aluminium brake callipers (8 spot FR, 6 spot Rr)

5. Cobra race seats

6. Motec M800 ECU (data logging)

7. Stilo comms system

8. 8 road wheels

9. Quick release steering wheel

10. Terra-Trip 303+

11. All "N1" features such as engine oil cooler, steel wheel turbos, stronger engine block and oil pump etc...

12. New harness belts March 2008.

13. The car is currently producing in the region of 358 kw at all four wheels on Elf fuel @ 1.5 bar.

This vehicle is wonderfully sorted, fantastic AND exciting to drive, and is still capable of winning any tarmac rally outright. The vehicle is also very suitable for and is fast on the circuit.

As expected, there is a few marks on the vehicle due to the nature of tarmac rallying and it's associated stone chipping, but any marks are indeed minor.

I'm listing this on behalf of the owner, and the asking price is $95,000-

Cheers!

Ok guys, the owner is willing to talk the sphincter of the universe on price! That doesn't mean talk like a the sphincter of the universe, or be a the sphincter of the universe and offer $1-, but talk the sphincter of the universe! This is a GENUINE N1, not a mock up. Only 45 of these built and most have now gone to the big GTR heaven inda sky.

Trust me, anyone serious about entering tarmac rallying or even circuit racing would be MAD not to look at this car! Six days I drove it for TT this year and she didn't raise even a sweat. That either means the car is really good or I'm really soft.

Good to hear shes staying in Aus, what a car. Of those 45 built, the greater majority of them were used by Nismo for Super Taikyu Racing in Japan, so theres easily <20 registered N1's in the world! Way too cheap IMO

I agree it WAS too cheap, but it's very much a buyer's market at the moment!

And yeh, I have no doubt she'll be strait back into the tarmac rallying scene very soon! :O Someone else will get to enjoy it for a while now!

    • 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).
