Hey guys, it's a sad day, decided to let go of my pride and joy build. too many other things to worry about.

I'm not sure really what to ask as I have put so much into it and I realise its unfinished so no one wants to pay top dollar..meh its a forum, no one wants to pay top dollar full stop.

The HKS turbo kit alone to replace new is around $7,000 not to mention the ammount of labour already gone into into the inside and outside of the body.. somewhere close to $10,000 worth if done at a workshop. Then there is the 1jz engine, R154 gearbox, full suspension setup, diff, wheels, electronics, fuel system, asthetics etc...

Chasing around $20,000 ONO. after putting more than double that into it..Also open to swaps for imports that I can just get in and drive. R32/S14/180/86 etc...

Full buildup pictures up to its current state can be found - HERE (inc moulded widebody)

To finish the car you will need to do the following.

The car has previously been registered but with a modified firewall you will need some hektic mod plating to get it on the road...should be able to be done though.

Put another day of work into the car today.

New pictures can be found here http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...t&p=4312258

we put the new subframe with the UAS bushes, Mechanical LSD, D-max rear camber arms, then we threw the Tien HA coilovers in.

after the work gone into it again its half inspired me to keep it.

If sold this week, will also throw in a Nintendo Wii with 7 games, two controllers, two nunchucks, 1 Wii steering wheel. (over $500 worth)

So thats the 50/60k car package.

Plus over 2.5k worth of spare parts at no extra $

Full Wii console kit $500 odd.

So like, theoretically $5/62,500.00 worth for an amazingly low $20,000.00

I found a car I want to buy so I want this gone as fast as possible before I change my mind again.

This isn't a bump, its a genuine information update post.

    • 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).
