ummm if you just finished high school that means you have P Plates right?

P plates on a GTR

GTR with P Plates

a bayside blue GTR with P Plates being driven by a noob

can you see where this is going???

firstly cops will rape your ass like theres no tomorrow due to the power to weight thing and on p plates you will stand out like do ballz

your still a kid and would have bought GTR as a first car... you will have to give up more then your lunch money and allowance to keep that thing running

but if you can afford to buy it then i guess you can afford to keep it running...maybe

but for a first car a GTR is not the best car to get if you know nothing about cars

dont buy it!

but an NA thats the reason i was put of buying an R32 GTR for my P's!

a nice neat NA import will have to do till your off ur P's

Dude, to drive a car like that properly and not f*ck it up takes a bit or experience behind the wheel of another car.

Take everyone else's advice and buy a corolla or something to get some practice in first.

if you dont listen to any of us and buy one could you please at least do a driving course or something like that. cause this thing is a weapon.

my first car was a old ford eb. then moved to a non turbo subaru rx, then to a non turbo r34, and now a turbo r34 and it can still be a handful if you dont treat it properly. im amazed at how fast a turbo car is when i first got it. but with a little bit more experience and driving those other cars first i have more respect and understanding at how to drive it a bit better. (im no expert driver at all). im just a bit more mature and love my car and dont want to hurt it.

ive had a friend buy turbo cars as there first car even someone i know with a honda s 2000. the guy with the honda died. and my friend in a s15 crashed it badly into a university and severly breaking the passengers leg, he only had the car for about a month.

well thats my rant you probably wont even read or care anyway but ive taken 2 weeks off work and im really bored lol.

Just to add to the twenty reasons not to buy an R34 GTR that's already been mentioned in the thread, to say it more directly, you lack the self-control, even if you can control yourself behind the wheel when you first get it:

* You'll get confident

* You might have a friend or two in the car and the need to "show them" how well it goes around a corner

* It may be wet or dry weather, it won't matter, too much power and you'll be sideways into a pole....

I've been reading these forums for years and the number of stories I've read about both experienced and inexperienced drivers in GTR's abusing the throttle in wet/dry weather and going sideways into a pole is alarming <-- obviously that applies to any car, but GTR's are AWD so often there owners are a little more confident...

Oh, that and you can't afford the repair bill on a GTR unless your rich or working full time and are dedicated to the car :down:

buy it if you can mate...everyone knows that they are an awesome car...just don't abuse it otherwise you might as well have set your $50,000 on fire while making someone drop an anvil on your legs.

oh if your a p plater you also might aswell get some plates on ur car too. "RAPEME".

GET AN R31

Hold up well in a crash, RWD, cheap in every way, and they can be treated like crap and keep on going :)

I stand corrected.

street prostitution must be paying really well these days........

    • 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).
