Extra Information:

I purchased this car in January 2006 with 96000kms on it, it now has 160000km. The first thing I did after purchase is get the major service completed with new timing belt, tensionors, water pump etc. The car since has been serviced every 5000kms using Motul oils. The car has been well looked after and has hardly been driven this last 2 yrs. For this reason I can't justify keeping the car any longer especially when I am looking to buy a home sometime in the near future. Unfortunately this luxury should go although I am not going to try too hard. I am sure there are many old time QLD Skylines Australia people who can vouch for this vehicle. The car drives very well with only a couple of interior squeaks expected of a car of this age. The car was completely resprayed 4 yrs ago after some kind soul vandalised it with a key. It has some stone chips on the front to be expected of a car that gets driven. The car has been tastefully modified to improve the quality of the drive not to increase HP. Below is the list of Modifications :-

-BRIDE Reclinable bucket seats with custom rails

-Nismo LM GT2 Rims, Fr17x8, R17x9 (completely reconditioned by Depulu in January)

-Yokohama S-Drives 235/45 front (3000km old)

-Federal 595S 255/40 rear (10000km old)

-Bendix Ultimate Brake Pads front and rear (10000km old)

-Slotted DBA 4000 series rotors up front (front and rear rotors machines 10000 km ago)

-CES HPC coated front pipe and Hi-Flow metal CAT also from CES (replaced O2 sensor when fitting front pipe)

-3" Kakimoto Cat back exhaust

-50mm alloy radiator

-10row oil cooler

-Bilstien Shock front and rear with whiteline springs

-Whiteline adjustable swaybars front and rear

-Whiteline pineapples

-Cusco adjustable rear camber arms

-Cusco adjustable front Tension Rods

-Cusco Tension Bar

-Nsimo Strut Brace and Brake cylinder stopper.

-Nismo GT Gear Knob

- K&N Panel Filter

-Cusco 1-Way Diff

-R34 turbo (OP6 rear housing)

I also have a set of factory type M side skirts and rear pods which I never got around to fitting to the car and also a full set of factory weather strips that go over the top of the windows which I also never got around to fitting.

I am in not way rushed to sell this car, if it goes great but if it doesn't then great also. It has just been a little bit of a hassel storing it lately and any extra cash when getting a house deposit together would be handy but its not necessary. Basically what I am trying to say is I am negotiable but if you are going to try and beat me down to something ridiculous then don't bother. Its a quality car and if you want t quality car then don't offend me with a ridiculous offer.

Cheers

    • 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).
