I have picked up this arvo my new ride R32 GTR in nice all white with unmarked 5 spoke NSgt2 rims.

I bought the car from Carizma in Melbourne and it arrived here as it's being descibed with no nasty suprises......... so far.

i was beside myself when Ceva rang me (car carriers) that it's ready for pick up.

I felt so empty since my black gtst was sold and so uncomplete. I'm all good now and the fun starts here Wooohooo.

I'm baaack.

I just had to share this with you since my wife is not happy for me (she can't see the diff. WTF?? beetwen cars)

Happy Dave :P:P:(

congrats on the purchase buddy, ive only had mine for two weeks now and im in love!

a word of advice, i purchased my last car (the gtst 4 door) from carizma. i found that there were a number of items that were supposed to be rectified on the car for road worthy that were simply left out. just go over your car fully (or even take it to a mechanic) to make sure its all good. i had to take mine back several times before it was road worthy.

other than that im sure these coming weeks will be full of fun for you, as they were for me!

so how much power is she making?

I agree with jenkies, a decent run around some twisties will have the missus saying GTR FTW!!!

... or she will hate you for scaring the crap out of her... one or the other.

You can tell its had a basic respray. I would have cleaned the engine bay of the primer and paint dust before i sold it though :D

But congrats mate all the same. Turn the wick up on that thing.

Thanks namo, I know she's not perfect example and yes it is basic respray but I guess you always get what you pay for.

For the money it's OK and I'll clean it up a bit.

I've already had to replace main switch for lights and fix the side skirts and it apears (making noise when cold) that I will need new starter motor as well just for starters.

Oh and I hate the coil overs (JIC) great for track not for Sydney roads. Also twin plate cluch not very friendly in traffic!

As I said before the fun has begun. *being sarcastic*

Long live the king...

Very Nice Dave!!

Massive fan of White R32 GTR's

Looks awesome!! Will we see it on the track any time soon?

Not quite yet as I need to check everything and service so it doesn't wimp out on me at the outing I would hate that.

However I will need to wait so I can save some money as my budget for my play toy is empty. :D

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      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).
