R30 for sure :) I almost vomit looking at R33's, The worst looking skyline ever made

considering every man and his dog has one you'l have to get some airsick bags for your back pocket when you go outside then

Have opted for a Chaser to replace my daily drive but i'm still a Nismo fan through and through but Chaser's do kick ass

Dave,

I like your choice of replacement, I was going to do similar with a JZX90 (is that correct) chaser, but good ones were hard to find so I went with a 1UZ conversion to my MX83 and now I think I have the best Toyota cruiser in the country.

January 08, I did Sydney to Melbourne via Hume, Great Ocean Rd ~ Torquay to Port Campbell and back up the coast through Lakes Entrance. Covered 3920k on 176L fuel which calculates to 9.6L/100k and has power / torque to burn.

Pity you can't keep both.

I did a bit of cruising on Yahoo Auctions last night and your sedan isn't bringing money in Japan either, found some with starting figures of AU$100.00 with no bidders, so it might be a store it for a while deal and wait out the crisis the world seems to be in at the moment.

Cheers, D

this thing flys and is still compfy as f&ck to cruise in..

landed with a few extra goodies we didn't know about at auction..

besides the $6.5k BBS rims and HKS suspension, a kick ass top dollar exhaust, nice recaro seat and Defi guages etc.... it's got a full OS giken gear set, twin plate brass buton clutch that is a dream to use believe it or not, and, a 1.5 way mech. diff!!!

who ever had the car in Jap. new their stuff and didn't like skimpin on the $$'s

OK where do i get one... I want it!!!

Ya gunna need lots & lots of bottle tops for one of these.

I much prefer the JZX90 shape to the 100 & later.

Only problem for me it can't tow my Skylines where the V8 does it eazy.

i reckon it would do the trick but i would stick with the 8 for the job.

the 1jzx has an awesomely torquey motor and the low down power is quite surprising... all about the VVTI now - nice smooth power band

so you actually have this landed and all??

pic dude!!!!

gee i wonder what randy would reckon

got the car on Friday and have put it through the it's paces... the thing flys! and the power comes on nice and smooth

I'll put some more pics up of that one soon

Randy, well i'll be dropping in there soon as all the good dyno tuners are out his way

  • 2 weeks later...

** Thread cleaned up**

Dennis, It doesnt hurt for him to try for a high price, and if you feel the need to tell someone they are asking to much, keep it to PM please.

There's no need for a keyboard war over someones asking price, no matter if you are the seller, or a prospective buyer(or just reading the thread)

Keep it to a dull roar people.

Cheers

Jason

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
