This looks interesting.

I've emailed the seller to get more info, but sounds the goods. I like that he says its restored, rather than modified... all in the wording!

Are any of you familiar with this car by any chance?

Seems to be a pretty good thing, but when he says "everything" has been replaced 2000k ago... That's tens of thousands of dollars, excluding motor and gearbox, as the bloke on here who really has restored one will attest

Yes, true. He says he has all receipts though, so I'll wait to hear from him.

if its what he says then go for it. good price......but it does say always kept under cover, and its outside in the rain for the Photos...

i doubt it has been restored to the extent that the one here on the forums has been (that is just nuts and i cant find the link off the top of my head).

But either way, for 22 grand with that list and those Km's and it runs well with reciepts (if he has em) you cant really go wrong :)

Haha, yeah I thought it was a bit ironic that its sitting out in the rain, I'm assuming he just put it out there to take photos, and it's in QLD so hard to avoid rain lately

basically that's what people say when they car is kept in a garage at night. it doesn't mean that it has never been out in the rain, etc. if you were to take "it's always kept under cover" literally then it must mean that whenever it is driven he has some sort of cover over the top of it, or only drives it in an under ground carpark.....

so it's always kept under cover, except for when it isn't.

f**k that is cheap for being "restored", i'm actually restoring my 32 4 door atm and passed that asking price ages ago just getting door seals. Would be good to see some more pics

The colour of the seats is not to everyone's taste. However, no-one ever goes to that much trouble unless he/she's an enthusiast

However, he/she doesn't say that the restoration was actually done by him/her. The English simply says "...my restored..."

It's worth looking at - and your enquiry might pay off; but I'd check on how long he/she's had it and when you look at the work receipts, ask for permission to check all details.

Seems strange that it would have one when its got N1 turbos aswell. Pretty overkill for that kinda power level

vcam is worth like 25% of what he is asking for the whole car

pull the other one terry ;)

we all know that tacky leather seats are just as common on fully sick bro cars that get THRASHED as they are on enthusiast cars

if you go look at it take a screwdriver with you and check the inside of the sillsbehind the carpet. if it has had the full resto then those should not have any rust in them.

seats do not belong to that car. the label on the side is an airbag label so the are out of somethe later.

I would ask for every receipt available. I can tell you now that if it was done right he will produce a BIG pile of receipts totally at least $20k.

also take a fridge magnet so you can look for bog.

      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).
