Finally managed to get the pictures off the camera!

She is a bit dirty and rough so hold back on the negativity :)

Outside:

wide angle

car from distance

rims with sick snow tyres!

front bar

car in driveway

front bar close to my driveway

rear end

rear end 2

Engine Bay

Interior

inside

omori guages

recaro bucket

Damage

dent in bonnet

rear left damage (worst)

rust spot

Overall once I fix up the dent in the rear and that rust spot it will be all good. I think she is pretty sexy. Exhaust needs to be done.. that one has a little hole in it which makes a humming noise;/

Anyway I look forward to seeing you all out and about! :wassup:

The only downfall (and subsequently first thing to be rectified) is that it's an auto.

yes you heard right feel free to start hanging shit.

BUT

that being said I got it pretty damn cheap so I managed to fit insurance/compliance/rego/alarm and shit into my loan money. For a uni student with no parents to support him, that's a good thing!

Just for the record it came with the following:

Omori guage panel (oil/water temp, oil pressure, ext temp)

GReddy boost guage

Nismo 260km/h dash cluster

KYB Super Street 4 way adjustable suspension (springs I'm unsure about, not stock because my original shocks + springs were in the boot)

Blitz super sound BOV (not on the car, was in a kit in the boot)

HKS EVC (old school one like in meggala's ceffie - not plugged in was sitting in the glovebox)

SAFC (again old school item with the 5 knobs)

3inch exhaust (pretty crappy mild item but does the job)

Recaro bucket + 4 point harness

my climate control box was moved to my glovebox (gotta love more room for more guages!)

GTR front bar/bonnet/skirts/rear bar/wing/I think the rear guards are pumped or GTR items/r33 grille (think it's an r33 grille.. anyone know?)

Think that's everything

Looks awesome, i like the grill, looks good and probably 1/4 the price of a gtr one.

Also, from the engine bay pic it looks like it has a remote oil filter kit, which is handy coz its a bitch to get to it in the normal place.

And youve got a strut brace, dont forget that.

Itll clean up good.

Congrats on the purchase. Pity it's auto tho, but nice never-the-less.

I'm curious as to how they fitted the high-center-rear brake light, cos AFAIK a GTR wing doesn't come with it.

I have a GTR replica bar sitting in my shed atm (plastic as far as I can tell)... makes me want to put it back on, but it'll scrape the hell outta everything (car is lowered slightly).

Thanks for all the kind comments. The manual conversion is the first thing on my list don't you worry.

Yeah mine is stupid low and scrapes on everything too.. more so because I wasn't used to the ride height and was doing this maybe a little too quickly heh.

Didn't the GTR come with the brake light in the wing? Interesting..

A quick question relating to rubber. I'll have to get some new rubber because the ones on the car are winter/snow tyres.. what do you suggest I do:

a) find a 32 owner and borrow his for a few hours at the pits?

B) buy some new rubber for it..

I don't have a heap of cash so might go for second hand rubber if that's the path I'll take.. anyone know prices on second hand rubber?

There's a post on tyres. Here's what japcab had to say.

North End tyres bro

14a carrick drve,

tullamarine.

Second hand tyres with 85%-95% tread on em.

Cheap as chips, i scored 285/R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros for $150 fitted.

check em out.

Personally i will get my tyres from them to. Oh and nice car. :)

    • 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).
