hi,

cool 'module' Ryan. were the 33's special imports to the US, or were they sold through Nissan [new car] dealerships?. I spend a fair amount of time in the US [latest trip, 6 months last year], but haven't seen a R32, R33 or a 34 on the road.

regards

G'day ryan,

I'm from south eastern Victoria... Nice car, it's even got the steering wheel on the correct side :)

Which kinda answers changi's questions.

Track car only? or are you getting wierd looks for sitting in the wrong seat when you stop at the lights?

  • 4 months later...

some company called "motorex" was importing skylines - they went into receivership

i read all the police reports online regarding all the victims that lost there cars before they got hold of them

far as i know that was the only way you could get one in the usa?

it was a sponsor car

the guy who used to own it wanted to get out of it and offered it to me for an price i just couldn't refuse

you would all kill for how cheap i actually got this car for :cool:

but for the most part this is my track car

i drive it once and a while up the road a bit to get cigs and that's about it

but mos def the girls out here get hyped on it haha :rofl:

you can buy a street registered R33 GTSt for about USD$6500 these days in oz... mind you not many people seem too keen on buying them...

haha i just realised I promised to look into a windshield for you on ziptied. did you sort that out? sorry dude, I moved states since you PM'd me and everything got ballsed up.

haha what's up man!

umm ya hopefully i have coming from japan it should be here next month

but if something happens to it or it never comes

then i would be more than appreciative of your help :P

but ya skylines are suuuuuper rare here

i think there is less than 150 here in the states (registered)

from what i've heard

not too sure about that number because i haven't really checked it out myself

but i've never seen another one on the streets

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
