Hey guys, time to sell the gtr. Were having a baby, due on tuesday and I really cant see me using this and doing the things I wanted to originally.

Background info: I bought the car bone stock standard off an older guy up north who used to import gtrs, he got out of the game a few years ago then his friend imported this gtr with the purpose to garage it being a prime mint condition gtr. He bought the car with the intention to do the same, registered it, drove it to work everyday then decided to sell it.

I had been looking for a base car to do a ground up overhaul of everything, looked for a long time then found this.

Since owning the car Ive put the current wheels on, tein suspension, hks full exhaust, hks filter and HKS kansai ECU. I took the car off the road when the rego ran out in feb this year, since then Ive been working on the whole underbody of the car. Its taken a while and been the grubbiest thing ive ever done but the results speak for themselves and it seem too good to drive on the road haha.

Most of the subframes have been sanded back and resprayed, other pieces have been replaced and the body has been recoated in road seal (not a fun job with limited room to move, very sticky)

The plan was to get a 350rwkw setup going, then just drive the car on the weekends. I would keep the car but we really need the money for more important things.

At present the mods are:

HKS Downpipe

HKS Hi-Power Exhaust

HI-FLO cat

HKS Mushroom filters

Tein Coilovers

HKS Kansai ECU

17" x 9.5 Custom wheels (Gloss black/matt black)

Sony Headunit, JBL front speakers, kenwood rears, 12" sub and amp Great sound.

The car is imaculate you can see in the pics the condition of the thing, ever gtr owner ive met have said its one of the tidiest if not tidest theyve seen. This is before all the work ive done. So in the last 6 months I made this already mint gtr, even minter. And you really need to see the car in person to appreciate it.

The car apparently had a rebuild at around 80,000kms in japan. Obviously this isnt proven and is a guide the car would have since done 50,000kms regardless.

Problems:

Needs new coilpacks

Engine could do with a service, I havnt got around to it with it being dereg, I dont do any mechanical work myself.

Needs new tyres all round, other than that the car is a beast and will pass a RWC with ease.

Ive got a few pics here but have alot more avail on demand. Im open to offers, its a great car and your welcome to come have a look. It will impress

Also included, all factory parts ive replaced, mirrors, suspension, fliter box and filter etc

Price: $17,000 Neg, 0406536292-shaun

Am advertising the car elsewhere, prefer it go to someone with a similar plan to mine.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
