Hey guys,

Unfortunately it's time to sell the skyline, so up for sale is my 1999 R34 GT-t, manual transmission.

I am the first owner in Australia, I imported it in May 2008 through prestige motorsport, complied at SSV, had 100k service at RE Customs.

Car has done 141,xxx genuine kms (has books from Japan, see pics).

Hasn't had a whole lot done to it, just allowed her to breathe a bit better:

-Apexi air pod

-JJR bellmouth front/dump pipe

-X-Force hi flow cat

-Blitz cat back exhaust (with silencer)

-Splitfire coilpacks

-Blitz turbo timer

-Mongoose alarm/immobiliser

-Pioneer head unit

Car will also come with:

-Stock exhaust

-Hardrace rear knuckle/hub bushes

-Hardrace front lower control arm bushes

-Spare pair of brake pads

-Spare oil filter

-Apexi AVC-R. I bought this second hand when I first got the car. Never had it put on the car. Like most people I had grand plans for the skyline, spent the money going overseas instead. May as well chuck it in to sweeten the deal. Comes with everything pictured.

-Also I still have the 'SKYLINE' lettering for the rear bar, that'll be in the centre console if you want to reapply it.

Selling the car as I'm trying to get a start-up off the ground, and need the money (or BTC) to put into that. I have a daily drive and this car hardly gets driven at all.

Will not come with RWC, hence the cheap price. I started getting a couple of things fixed to get it (dent pulled from rail, looks like it was used as a jacking point, have before and after pics below in case you're concerned it was a crash repair), replaced some cracked hosing, but when I took it in to get the engine looked at they said the crank case seals and head and rocker cover gaskets need replacing, which I don't have the cash to fix myself due to it being put into a start-up. Front caster bushes need replacing too (about a $100 part). I went overseas for the best part of a year a while ago, and the car sat in the shed for about 18 months, hence the crank case seals starting to leak. I looked up the costs for these issues (from memory it was roughly around $1500), about half of that is labour, so if you're mechanically minded you could save a lot by doing it yourself, if you're a mechanic you could fix it and on sell it for an easy profit or treat yourself to a R34 GT-t for cheap! Priced it so that you can buy it, do what needs to be done for RWC and still come out ahead. Am assuming people will be sceptical, especially being a skyline for $7k and this being the internet, so I am open to taking it to your mechanic workshop (not old mate's house in Frankston) at your expense for your piece of mind, or bring your mechanic with you.

Apart from that, as you can see in the photos the car is in pretty good condition. The money I had put away to get a RWC I spent on getting the rear bumper resprayed, had a car park scratch on the corner, has had new bendix pads fitted not long ago. Little scrape under the front, couple of imperfections in the paint, nothing out of the ordinary.

Interior is still looking good, especially for 141k kms.

Car still has rego so can be test driven for serious buyers (i.e bring a deposit or organise for us to take it to your mechanic to look at at your expense), however due to it not coming with a RWC I have to sell unregistered (have to take the plates back at sale).

Car has never been on a track, has never been flogged, has hardly even been driven for the last few years hence the crank seals.

Price is $7,000 firm.

I will accept Bitcoin for payment, if you choose to pay via BTC then due to crazy fluctuations the final BTC amount (equal to the cash amount) will be agreed upon at pick-up.

I can be contacted at twennyone @ protonmail.com (no spaces obviously), 0466 809 034, or DM me here.

Posting on SAU first because this forum is a great community and a huge help when owning a skyline. Will post around other sites a little bit after so you guys get first dibs.

Car is located in Bulleen, Melbourne.

Cheers,

Brenton

    • 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).
