Hi all,

Unfortunately, its come time to put my 2001 EVO 7 up for sale

This car has been my daily driver for over a year now, and has been one of the most reliable and enjoyable cars I have ever had the pleasure of owning. The car was sourced to order for me in Japan, then subsequently imported by Just Jap Auto Imports in Sydney, who have also been responsible for all preventative maintenance, modification and scheduled servicing since it arrived. The car was purchased as an auction grade 4B with 64,000 km's and in the time that I have owned it, the car has covered a mere 6,000 km's as I don't require a car during the week thanks to public transport :)

With the exception of the bodykit and suspension, all other modifications and components have been purchased and installed brand new within the space of the last 12 months. The car has been religiously serviced, and had a huge amount of preventative maintenance performed at my request to ensure absolute reliability, including a full 100k service with new Timing Belt, Cam Seals & Iridium Spark Plugs.

Modifications have been limited to only the best quality in bolt-on upgrades, to retain un-compromised drivability for daily use. No boost controller has ever been used, maintaining standard boost levels at all times, and both the turbocharger and ECU are standard, yet the car is still extremely fast, incredibly responsive, and handles like its on rails!

The Alpine & AVI Stereo was supplied and professionally installed by Metrosound on the North Shore in Sydney.

The car has seen one driver training day at Oran Park only, and has never been drag raced. It has no accident history, an arrow straight body, and has always been securely garaged.

Vehicle Specifications:

- 2001 Build

- 70,000 Km's

- NSW Rego Till December 2010

- Auction Grade 4B

- Factory Silver

Modifications:

- Genuine C-West Bodykit

- Genuine Karbonetic Carbon Fibre Trunk

- HID Kit

- HKS Super Suction Intake Kit

- HKS Air Filter

- HPI Intercooler Kit

- HPI Stainless Turbine Outlet Pipe

- HPI Stainless Front Pipe

- Catco Metal Cat (3")

- Kakimoto Regu 06&R Stainless Cat Back Exhaust

- Cooling-Pro Larger Alloy Radiator

- HPI Braided Brake Lines

- DBA 4000 Series Slotted & Vented Rotors (Front & Rear)

- Project Mu Heavy Duty Brake Pads (Front & Rear)

- Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid

- Tein Circuit Master Type Flex Coilovers

- Rays RE30 Limited Edition Forged Racing Wheels (18 x 8.5")

- Yokohama Advan A13 Rubber (245/40/18)

- Blitz Turbo Timer

- Alpine Digital Media Head Unit (Including iPhone/iPod/USB Connection)

- AVI Front Splits

- AVI Rear Speakers

- Factory EVO Mats (Front & Rear)

- Tinted Windows

A quick glance at the above list quickly shows that I have added over $13,000 worth of modifications and components to the car since purchase, and that does not include servicing!

Now to my reason for sale? Pretty simple really.

I have recently purchased another GTR and unfortunately this means I must retire the EVO and replace it with a more corporate friendly car for work purposes. You will be truely hard pressed to find a more practical or complete performance package.

The car is owned outright, with no finance or money owing of any kind.

Always the way isn't it :/

Sadly I really need this gone now, I have too many cars and not enough room, and the evo needs to be retired for a more appropriate car for work.

      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).
