Fantastic car, very regretful sale. I have too many cars and not enough money :(.

This is the "Ultima" model, which is the top spec. Very rare car, there are only a handful of F31s in Australia and most are lower-spec models. Factory features include:

- Cruise Control

- Climate Control

- ICE with TV

- Electric just about everything

Whenever I take this car out I get comments from people about what a nice car it is. She's a real head turner.

The car has very few mods, with my intention being to keep it as stock as possible. Most of the mods it does have were done before I got it, I have just added a few electrical niceties to bring it into the 21st century.

The factory TV was analogue and suits Japanese frequencies, so was 100% useless over here. A Zylux HDTV module has been wired into the factory CRT TV (to maintain the OEM / retro 80s feel) to provide HD TV as well as USB, aux in, recording, etc. For more info on the module used see here: http://www.zylux.com.au/aus/zylux-hd-digital-tv-receiver-with-recorder.html

A parrot bluetooth module was also installed to add hands-free capabilities, as well as music streaming over bluetooth. For more info on the parrot unit see here: http://www.parrot.com/au/products/hands-free-car-kits/parrot-mki9200/

The car has a full alarm and immobiliser professionally (and properly) installed by Audio Express Brisbane, it is virtually un-stealable unless you have a flat bed.

Currently she has R33 seats in the front (pictured). I also have a set of HR31 seats that can go in (they are a straight fit) so the buyer can have whichever set they prefer, or both if they want. The fabric on the HR31 seats is in pretty bad shape, but they are probably more comfortable.

The Good

- Pretty much everything works. I hate things not working so I have gone to some effort to fix everything. The only thing that comes to mind that doesn't work is the auto suspension, because it has been replaced with aftermarket suspension. Even the tape player works!!

- 100k service (timing belt, water pump, etc.) was done at 150k, using all genuine Nissan parts. It looked like this had already been done at 100k, but I wasn't sure and a leaking injector meant it all had to come off anyway, so it was all done again. So it should be good for another 85k or so.

- Comes with a bunch of spares (some old, some brand new) that I have collected over the time I have owned her.

- recently replaced coil packs (yellow jackets), spark plugs (NGK iridium) and alternator (2nd hand)

- recently had power steering rack rebuilt and auto box serviced

- Can probably get P plate approval based on factory power/weight (I'll try to dig up the numbers)

- Comes with two sets of personalised plates - 13PRD (Leopard) and MYF31

The Bad

- Couple of dings and scratches. She's 26 years old after all

- Auto box occasionally plays up a little bit. Nothing Major

- Battery only lasts a few days without driving. Might need a new a new one, or just drive it more often than I do :P

- Dash has seen better days

- Front seat belts don't retract very well. I will probably have to replace these for RWC however.

- Some gutter Rash on the wheels.

Price

Asking price is $8000. This will include a QLD RWC and rego until the end of the year.

I'm negotiable on price, I want to see her go to a good home. If you want to buy her without rwc and rego (eg interstate buyers) then the price will come down.

If you want to buy her before I have to pay the rego renewal (due mid June) I can do it cheaper, but you won't get as much rego then.

Make an offer, the worst I can do is say no.

    • 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).
