I'm not sure if you have purchased your vehicle from us but as many dealers have done and still do, we use to hold consignment stock or buy local if low in stock. As the above statement states we will not sell you a car purchased locally unless a customer has traded it in, we will make It clear that we can't verify the kms if this is the case. As far as the name changes we have changed due to local And Euro market not liking the thought of buying a Import. The whole industry is pretty doggy and I can expose a lot of people in the industry who also claim and portray to be Legitimate. But no point. We as a company have made it a commitment to do the right thing by the customers and keep clean. That's the best thing we can do to move forward. Keep in mind we are NOT liked by most Dealers right now due to the kms checks offered.

No doubt many of you have read this blog article: "the Truth About Kilometers" It's a good one, I have to say it very much rings true in my own experience. You'd think that after a certain importer

God bless the Internet. Identifying this sort of thing would have been near on impossible in the past. The ad currently reads 134,000km. Has it been updated?

Your so helpfull thanks dodgyimports!! Thought about becoming a broker?

Nice implied assumption there matey. Do you think this is the first time I have been accused of being an industry insider of some variety?

It's about time dealers gave the car buyer more credit - we are not all ignorant to what goes on. Some of us are a good deal more careful with how we spend our hard earned dollars than dealers are in hiding their indiscretions.

You say you have nothing to hide and then post an edited screenshot omitting important details - give the members of this forum some respect.

the grade of the vehicle was on the original pic top right hand corner "0" as we display vehicles that we have purchase (invested money) we don't need to display any details regarding the auction report. i think that's fair enough, the buyer has the opportunity to come in, test drive the vehicle and get it independently inspected so for those seasons i think it was unnecessary for you to point that out, (even though it was there).

We have no issues with brokers (whether you are or not) our compliance business rely's on brokers more than just dealers and ourselves.

      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).
