hey guys im coming to qld for a long long weekend and during this time a gtr has caught my eye which im going to check out, im just wondering if any one knows any experts or well known mechanics that will come out (for a fee or what ever) that can inspect the car for me and give a report without me having to take the car to a tuner shop that knows about the r32 gtrs..

thanks.

also try jorge and the boys at j&a autocare or j a automotive (sorry it's been a while since I had the GTR) but I normally went to them if dan wasn't available and they were a lot closer to where I live.

they were in underwood just behind the wreckers (alljap?) on kingston rd but I did see a few months ago a J&A autocare in moss st slacks creek maybe they've moved.

Hey Ezy I'm in the same boat as you mate & trying to find a reliable Skyline ideally around Brisvegas & Gold Coast areas (R34 GT-T) but unfortunately I'm not mechanically minded. After doin some research through this forum I came across a really good post (see below) in which some ppl have suggested using State Roads for inspections. I personally have never used them but when I find my potential new joy ride I probably will.

Here is an example of their comprehensive vehicle inspection test ----> http://www.stateroads.com.au/comp_report.asp

Fyi, I was priced approx. $250 - $300 for this test (psst... I checked with NSW & VIC centres first & was quoted their prices which for some reason is cheaper then what the QLD centre quoted me :yucky: so after mentioning this they said they will match NSW & VIC prices :bunny: ). Also, if the vehicle isn't located close to major cities you may need to pay a travel fee so be sure to check with them if this is applicable.

Great post with info about what to look out for when purchasing a Skyline ----> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/35129-im-buying-a-skyline-what-should-i-look-for/

Best of luck :thumbsup:

      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).
