Sold Skyline and now have new toy


Recommended Posts

I sold my Skyline 1 week ago and with $30,000 grand to spend I went shopping for a new car. My original plan was to get a 4wd but I would only really use it 5% of the time. So I ended up buying a fully worked VR Commodore Clubsport converted to a VS with Hydratrack. I know it doesn't handle like my Skyline but this motor is a 366 that's 6.0 litres with 100hp NOS System Installed. The car is in Showroom Condition currently producing 235rwkw not bad for NA. The car only cost me $14000 and has $50000 spend on it in the last 6 years. I still love Skylines but I couldn't insure mine for a reasonable price. Plus I often carry 4 people. It leaves me with a lot of spending money though.

The car is getting the auto box rebuilt though with stall convertor and heavy duty clutch packs and stage 2 shift kit controlled by ECU fully adjustable. As bad as auto's can be the T700 can be turned into a beast that you can shift at your lesure. Plus take offs will be quicker for drags. At least now I have a 250km speedo instead of the silly 180 I used to have and clock all the time.

30k not high consider this I just lost 20k in 6 months. New Motor 3.0 new turbo new intercooler new Haltech E6k new exhaust New Bodykit front side rear + Wing but I knew this when I was building it. But new project already runs 11's ant half price and NA still might supercharge it and bam instant 600rwkw.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
