there was a guy running around with a road registered car painted up like this in SE QLD a couple of years ago claiming it was the Bathurst 12hr car. I never had a close look, but it seemd a bit ratty from a quick glance. Does he have the CAMS log book? without that there is no proof its the actual car. A weathered 1993 CAMS sticker and blanked off holes in the bootlid for a dry break system are all its got. If it was in the complete race trim, it might be worth that much to the right buyer, but it seems to be back in road trim apart from the paint and cage.

edit: and why would you send a production race engine back to Japan??? and wouldn't they have run the car in N1 spec? this has none of the N1 body pieces. I had a quick google but didn't turn up any pics/video from 93

Harry has sparked up my old man memory!

If it's correct it's not the actual race car but rather the promotional car. You know, the car that sits out the front of the retail shops in the sun to look cool.

I do remember as a young impressionable trainspotter seeing pictures of the race car in magazines and noting that this car (that was often parked right near my work) was slightly different in details.

Sorry for the hijack - just cross threading here :)

Want a Heli-coil? :)

i think sydneykid was talking about this car a while ago. as it was australian production, it wasn't allowed to run N1 spec. But if it dosn't have a log book it's nothing more than a painted up gtr, with a average cage.

It was advertised on here. Nice car, i woudl love it, but to me its not worth anything. Even if it was the Bathurst 12hr car...it got its ass handed to it, i recall it broke during the race...and the following year the Falken money went to Carlind who was running a Maserati Shamal. So nto to say its not an interesting car, or cool, but it doesnt seem to have history...so is just another ex race car which to means its worth less then a nice road going example that is actually quick.

But i sincerely wish the seller all the best selling it...but he may struggle asking that sort of money

Don't worry about that one. What about this?

http://ecurieinvestments.com.au/996-gt2r-slm-porsche

Would be interested to finding out who / where this was made, considering its not a genuine PSI GT2R. The interior pics look very familiar to my mates GT2R's that he has. Engine spec lists are also sounding a bit familiar will have to try and dig up some old emails.

Oh and good luck getting it homologated anywhere outside of a state series. And one with 600Hp will struggle getting in there too.

      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).
