with the current market conditions and the number of people selling skylines

you would be absolutely MAD to go buy a car from a dealer

youll pay more, get a worse product and youll be fed rubbish about the car

i highly recommend coming to our meetings held 3rd tuesday, monthly

speak to a few of the guys, then start looking at private skylines for sale in melbourne

find a guy or two at the meeting who will come check out a skyline with you

and they will cover anything and everything either as favour or for beer etc

youll end up with far better car, better value and better experience

i would HIGHLY advice AGAINST a dealer for a skyline in the current market

there would TONS of skylines for sale

what is your budget?

what model?

auto? manual?

n/a? turbo?

But if you do prefer the security of it...and how much finance companies prefer to deal with dealers...

I Live in narre warren, so its a bit of a drive haha.

They got a site?

agree with paul, have a look in the FS private sales section on here as well.

imo the car will need to have suspension done and all the bushes. if it hasn't they will need to be done, so factor that in. also a 100k service or

at least a good service and tune (unless sau car, most should be looked after).

i can think of many skylines for sale at good prices which are great cars

justins GTR R33 - Justin911 on here

dezz's GTST R33 - Dezz on here

matts GTST R33 - Mavric on here

Pete's GTT R34 - BassJunky on here

any of these would represent good $, good seller, legitament and wont stuff you around

these guys have been in the club for about 3 years+ been involved in the club heavily etc

i would check these ones out before even bothering with dealer knobs

    • 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).
