lol AVOID Nismo. This is the guy who tried to convince me that I needed to replace the whole front driveshaft when I just needed a CV boot done - Even after I told him he was an idiot.

probably because the numb nut just looked at getting the boot from Nissan. Nissan wont sell you just the boot, they try sell you a whole drive shaft for like 700 bucks haha

Honestly mate, id take the advice of one of the original posts

Order it from RHD Japan, usually takes a couple of weeks but its a very simple process

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan/r32-skyline-gt-r

Start here, it will save you at least 10-15% on Just Jap and alike

Thanks joey

Went to the rhd Japan website before and everything is in yen

Do they have a currency converter

There's a currency converter on their page, just under the price where it says 'currency' click and scroll down.

Highly recommended, used them heaps of times.

Lolz, siff take your car to a place in thomastown.

Luckily i'm not a big enough dick head to take it there, unlike my mate who took his car when it was on sunshine ave and got rorted haha (no offence to the op). I even told him the place was dodgy before i had even heard any stories about it, place just doesn't look right. I laugh every time i see a car with the nismo sticker on the back now

Also - side point... I wouldn't be trusting drifters for the correct idea on what things cost.

Reason I say this as over the last 1-2 years there have been a lot of backyard-er type places open up. They don't have proper business insurance, security systems and other types of overheads which allow for greatly reduced costs. So when something bad does happen (like they get robbed, which seems to be ocurring a lot lately), you as a customer gets the ripe old shaft on the other end.

Just something to think about.

(The above does not mean in any way i support that quote, heaps of stuff on there is just plain ripping off of a customer - said person was stupid to let work happen without an quote anyway).

Having worked in the automotive industry, I know all too well the business side of things. Customers often want you to source parts for them, with zero margin on them - i.e. what they would pay for them if they were to take the time to research, track them down and purchase. Then there's the labour side of things, where customer believes you should be charging no more per hour for labour than what they earn per hour...that's a classic.

We also live in the era of customers supplying their own parts, but also wanting workshops to accept liability for these parts when things go wrong. So the only thing a mechanic can make money from, is fhe labour...which means a rushed job, because a faster job is more profit. And dodgy mechs are happy to work for cheaper than good. Many reasons I'm glad not to work in the industry anymore.

Well that is why I go to racepace and chequered tuning for my complete build up. Too many risks these days especially if your not familiar on pricing and quality. I supplied all my parts from perfect run/RHD japan/greenline.

Yen is looking tasty at the moment

      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).
