Unique Race Car For Sale On Yahoo Auctions


Recommended Posts

Any owner in Japan would be proud to have a fine example of advanced automotive technology such as this. You will probably need a degree in computers to get the most out of the electronics though.

Classic... hows the list of factory options... NONE !!

Funny thing is theres a couple of these floating around. I know one was brought in by a kiwi and if I remember right there was a monaro as well. think it was lime green.

That ute restored or kept in its rustic condition completely air bagged and with full hydraulics would put shame to those numbnuts that get around various cities in Japan in their low rider yank tanks.

If I owned it I would probably pull the 253 and stick a kei car 660cc turbo donk in the battery tray of the ute. Be just as powerful as a 253 and you can rent the rest of the engine bay out as a 1k apartment in Tokyo.

Actually it is a bit sad to see the state of some of the old cars left in parking spots in Japan. Saw a 70s Corvette in Nagoya a couple of weeks ago on four flat tyres with completely faded paint. There is a 50s Chev about 10mins walk away from my place in Gifu in a similar but even worse condition. I hope those ones Elrodeo was talking about have been kept better than that.

    • 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
