Hi All, 
Looking at purchasing a R32 GTR that is located in Perth and want to organise a pre-purchase inspection as i'm in Melbourne
Any recommendations on places to take it to?
Cheers
Steve
 
Josh from Galvsport was useful.
Otherwise I've used State Roads before they pretty good too, they measured paint depth for crash repairs and read the OBD.
(OBD not helpful for Skylines though).

No worries. My entire car was built by Galvsport (well the first part). I still took it to them, they provided useful feedback and the car was as well put together and as good of condition as they said.

I'm sure someone in Perth could find you an alternate if you wanted a second option. [emoji16]

Nice! I spoke to Josh, he was very helpful. Will most likely get them to do the check

Have you heard of C-Red Tuning in Perth?

I have. But that's it. They've been around for a long time (like 15 years or more). 

@Pal any chance you can weigh in here?

I can vouch for C-Red, Mark is a great Mechanic, you'll get nothing but honesty from the boys there.

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
