Why on earth would you IMPORT a friggin skyline when they are cheaper to buy here. Thats a fact.

R33's are a buyers market.. You can get them with coolers and exhausts for 5 - 6k with rego

Dude, I'm not importing anything :(

and yep - rego is the key! I need a daily :laugh:

Don't want to run the risk of buying a lemon for a daily, so I would prefer to buy one that's been gone over from top to bottom buy mechanics. That said, I will still be looking myself too, and if I DO see a nice one in the for sales, I'll get them to do a once over on that one. They're the ones who'll be doing the majority of the work on my car, so they may as well be involved from the start. :ermm:

A mechanical inspection is a must, even my car would pass if inspected by a qualified mechanic. I was thinking you were paying them to find a car lol

Too many shitters out there to look at without a mechanic giving it the ok. Be like buying a VN for $500 and think it'll be ok :ermm:

You should get one of those "non performance M3's" you were talking about at Baskins John, lol.

Cos nissan is a performance brand, lol..

I don't remember you actually being in that conversation from start to finish. I was talking about BMW not being performance, and they guys were educating me on the fact that M3s ARE performance. I never claimed to know everything about them. I didn't realise me learning something was so utterly lol worthy.

I also don't remember saying that Nissan are a performance brand.

But, yeah. Whatever, Josh. You're obviously bored today and I'm the only one on here to have a go at. I'm going to dinner, I'll leave you to it.

Sorry bud, I'll have to pass on that one. Getting some extra scratch together so that Phantom/PCE can source me a boat.

Good to see you're joining the fleet. :ermm:

M5? M6? 335? Whats the definition of performance? Weight to power ratio?

The new M3s even have the same 2 vents/duct as the 35gtr... Wonder when will I have the money to buy these cars. :ermm:

You own an N1 which will only contuine to go up in price and you own property.

You are a lot better off than so many other people on here. No reason why you couldn't have a flashy euro in a couple of years to be honest.

I class performance on pedigree, general view “jo public” has of the car and of course what the car can offer in terms of its power, braking and suspension ability.

I’ve had heaps of Skylines, clearly I have a passion for them, however when you say you own a Nissan to “Jo Public”, they think of a Pulsar, when you say you own a Skyline they think of a Pintara..

Unfortunately c0ck heads wreck the skyline name more than anything.

f**k yeah did a 64.45 today at lakeside, which is like 2 seconds faster than my previous best :ermm:

gotta decide if i wanna keep the flatshifting set up or not... it works pretty well, but my gearbox hates it (esp. 4th)

Oh and there was massive carnage, 4 cars into the armco in about 15 minutes. Then all the drivers got lectured on not being dicks.

I almost needed new pants at one point, did a lose control leading into the bridge. Lucky my fullsik drift skills uleh kept the car going the right way :ermm:

yeah except my f**king dog mate (sexy dave), who i was beating all day, pulled an extra second out of his arse for one lap in the final session to beat me :ermm:

never mind, no one else from my class turned up today (was a piss poor turnout) so that should mean I have the series in the bag.

I REALLY need new tyres for next year. Donations anyone?

f**k off. 595s are shit :ermm:

I need RE55s, R888s, A048s, or V710s. Depending on budget :)

ok.

you pay for my pfc, injectors, tune

and ill pay for 4 R888s ;)

hmmm, that's probably almost worth it if I tune it myself :ermm:

PLUS i'd get to blow up a tractor. Double win!

get it dyno tuned and ill buy your tyres :)

    • 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).
