fatz - what are the most common places for rust that you've seen so far? Chassis rails? Underneath boot carpet?

I'd assume he was referring to R32s. I don't think R34s will have much rust on them form my experience. But nearly every r32 GTR has fair bit of rust on firewall, strut tower, bottom of the rear wheel arch and underbody.

I've also seen a large quantity of rusty ones out there.

When I get a chance later tonight, I'll show you the underbody of a fresh import BB R34 that I saw shortly after I bought mine. You'll love it.

R34 are commonly prone to rust around the rear boot brake light, I've also seen rust around the strut tower welds, window seals etc.

I believe the original Japanese location of the car will obviously also play a significant part to how exposed it was to salt.

Good thread, however maybe should be split in two parts and the bulk moved to the general discussion area and the other moved to WTB?

Hey Mate,

I have no issues with people discussing, I have been getting good feedback from this thread regarding cars that aren't even advertised yet that people are looking to sell.

If mod's want to close or move it I have no issues either.

Wow that looks like absolute crap ! Rather typical of a vehicle thats spent its entire life in the snowy regions of Japan

yea i think the less time spent in japan the better!

mine was imported in June 2000! was only about 1 year old, and cost the first aus owner a fortune, but had to move it on to make room for another car to add to his collection, and the gtr was the cheapest car he had ha. still sold it in 2004 for over 90k to the owner before me...

Ha funny you mention that.. I was flicking through one of my mates collections of receipts on his silver 34R Vspec after he bought it and he pointed out the purchase details on the car from the first owner in Aus during the early 2000's which from memory was somewhere around the $110,000 mark !!

Good to see that they have come within affordable price range yet still kept their value rather well despite their age. Look at E46 M3's which are newer than our Japanese counter parts, where ALOT more expensive once upon a time and these days available for under 35k with no dramas. Got to love BMW depreciation :P

^ After actually reading the ad, it does say the car had a Nur engine installed < 3000KM ago.

So if you do go and persue this one, I recommend you check it has the 24U stamp on the block to ensure its not just a standard 26 with the covers painted.

Thanks mate for clearing that up... I'm slowing learning about the 34's.

It's a new learning experience as I'm comming from a Toyota background.

Could have been an M spec Nur from the front end (no bonnet scoop), but seats and a bunch of other stuff in the other photos say no.

You don't even need to look further once you see the front end. No scoop on bonnet, so it's just VSpec.

All late 2000+ bayside blue = bayside blue engine bay.

Earlier = black, which is standard gtr and vspec.

Hehe since everyone here is discussing r34 gtrs, I will break the ice here. I actually like series 3 R33 GTR, in KN6 colour. And series 3 R33 GTRs are actually much rarer than R34s. Just saying :)

Iwas talking r 34 gtrs... Mind u 32 are far worse

Picks above say it all, easy check is the rear sub frame they surface rust first, then it's the sills then the rear end

I think earlier in this thread someone mentioned a mp2 v spec (that sold 1 year ago)that when i checked it out you could put a finger through the floor

      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).
