^^And did you get a copy of the auction sheet or the export certificate to prove the kms were genuine?

Hi guys and girls,

I have had quite a few PM's come through asking if the search is still on.

Anyway, yes - the search is still on, i just havent heard anything else from top secret yet. :down:

I havent forgotten about this thread and as usual i will keep you all updated.

Cheers!

Hey guys and girls,

Spoke with Garry today, he just wanted to advise me that they will be closing the showroom from the 13th December and re-opening on the 16th of January. :blink:

Anyway, thought i'd put an FYI up on here so if you guys have any last minute orders for a car - it would be best to stick them in now!

Garry advised me that he will still be working during the period, just will not physically be in the showroom. He is actually heading overseas and will be visiting Japan aswell - so he will see if he can even personally find a GTR for me while he is there! (Now thats service!!)

Out of curiosity, Garry also sent me through a few pictures of a GTR which top secret imports have just recently purchased for another customer. It is exactly what i want, except for the colour. I have attached the pics to this post for those of you who are interested. Both the interior and exterior look to be in excellent condition. Is anyone on here the lucky new owner!?

Cheers!

Also, just realised I never posted them - but here are a few pics of the exact car I am after.

Bayside blue, vspec, exterior wise - completely stock - if possible, even down to the point where theres no colour coding on the front lip!

Sure, we can sort the little things out (i.e. - if the front lip was colour coded, it probably wouldnt stop me from buying the car!) but in the end, the pics attached are what would paint a perfect search result for me. :blink:

Cheers!

Hi KR4GTR,

Good Luck with the Find and hopefully you will find one that belongs to you soon.

I am also currently starting to look around for a GTR 34. I understand that you are looking from Top Secret.

I was wondering if you had came across any of the Z Tune by any chance so far or any V Spec 2 Nur at a decent price? :blink:

Please keep us updated if you found anything.

hey mate,

i suggest you give garry a buzz and place an order so he can start looking around in japan for you. He will be able to give you an accurate estimation of cost and start work towards finding a car within your set budget.

say chris sent you! haha i'm sure he'll look after you! :D

cheers!

I am Sorry Peopel ... What I ment by Decent price is around the acceptable range comparing to a same age Ferrari I surpose ...

I am still trying to see what's available out there ... as I have not yet seen any of the Z Tune out for grabs so just asking if anyone saw it?

So ... From the sound of it Iron Chef would be able to source for one under half a Mil ... ^_^

KR4GTR, Thanks for the advise ... like I said I am still in the stage of looking around ... I have waited for years before I can actually say I finally got the Cash sitting in my bank to find the right car since Midnight last night ... Yeah! All my hard work for the past Few years had FINALLY Paid off!

Let us know if you found anything Decent out there ... as I will be buying one to keep forever, I would really like to get a Z Tune there seems to be none around! My second choice is to get one of the V Spec 2 Nur.

I know that Iron Chef (I think Kristian as I was told by my frends) has been busy with all these Import business too is on this Topic, Maybe he can also throwin some suggessions ^_^

I wish everyone on this Topic a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    • 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).
