I picked up my R32 GTR today from Laverton :thumbsup:

It's been a while and I thank everyone who has given me some much needed advise over the last 3.5 months. THANK YOU.

9.00am - Vic Roads to pick up UVP

10.00am Laverton (TOLL) to pick up car....

10.30am Leaving Laverton... battery was flat and stalled it turning onto Westgate Fwy...what a drama! Caused a road block for about 1km B4 someone gave me a jump. No air filters on so idel was a bit jumpy. Minimum fuel also!

Fark it was an awsome drive. Handels like it's on rails (my first drive in any sort of GTR...weird) Played around with the boost a bit... did not take it over 5500 but even then it was kicking HARD (to me anyway)

MISSING ITEMS: Missing horn from wheele, missing Nozmo gear nob.

BONUS ITEM: Rims are super sweet, thought they were 17" from photos but they are 18" deep dish with 245/40 ZR rubber and good tread.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

Will post some pics later...

Nice.

Is this the one with thr T78? wheres the engine bay shots and shots of the whole car, not these fancy ones where you can only see 20% of one part of the car :rofl:

T78 it is indeed. I will post more pics of the "whole car and engine later if I can grab my mates camera. If not tomorrow when its lighter. (my camera seriously sucks unless you have great lighting)

Other Q's: Used J-Spec :thankyou: Cost me between $20K and $25K

looks good.. was this the one you posted with shots in japan and was all dirty in the engine bay? and was meant to have had a "fresh" rebuild. Looks like they've cleaned it up a little since then.

Anyhow, looks like a good buy.. enjoy!

Mate....

This thing was farkin filthy when I picked it up. I've got a week off work, so had the time and quite enjoyed giving it a 4hr clean today. Went through 1/4 can of de-greaser and about 10 rags just on the engine bay. Looks heaps better now.

      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
