damn theirs heapsa sh1t on that report, the 2 XX's on the boot and rear left qtr panel means they have been replaced (pretty sure). Try posting it in the japan section on these forums, those guys are very helpful!!

Cheers,

Mark.

lol nice cover up job of the USS auction report :D

Here's a rough translation of the japanese bits on the report, the XX's on the diagram means replaced.

Rear of car has repair history

Radiator Support is Bent

Back panel and boot floor is bent

Frame has dent in it

Also has:

Lipped guards (to fit larger rims)

Aftermarket exhaust, air filter, Suspension, shocks, Sway bars, Cold Air Intake, Boost meter, Nismo cluster (hence why km's are questioned), Steering, Shift knob.

It also mentions that there's many more aftermarket parts, and its probably best off being inspected in person.

Just above the factory optional tick boxes someone's taken to it with MS paint (while blocking out the auction run number, vehicle VIN etc) and cleared it out, so there might be more to it.

Sounds like a sweetly modified GTR that's been hit pretty heavily and is good for parts.

depends what you want the car for, if its a parts taking car, then you don't need to worry about bent frames.

If "the car was purchased before the laws changed" :D then its can be imported as a 15 year old car and the conditions of eligibility is up to the engineer that signs it off. There's no chance a car like that is coming in under SEVS.

What a mess... the car and the auction sheet!

Can't remember what 'R' on auction sheets means, it's crashed or something? Anyways, theres quite a bit of damage right the way around, but on the good side it's got a fair few aftermarket bits stuck to it, multiple guages, suspension, aforementioned exhaust, induction pipe and some other stuff I can't read... can you get a bigger scan? Some, nay, most of the kanji is illegible.

R means accident repair.

off the diagram this is possibly what its supposed to mean:

a3 = heavy scratches across broad area on the front

paint blemish on bonnet and front bumper

u3 = heavy dent in side sil

au2 = medium dent scratch in rear driver side guard

a1 and u1 = slight scratches

w2 = repainted

Just above the factory optional tick boxes someone's taken to it with MS paint (while blocking out the auction run number, vehicle VIN etc) and cleared it out, so there might be more to it.

A good chance is since some people are still buying "15 year old cars" and putting them up for sale saying they were bought before Feb 7th but was 4 weeks ago not 8 months, they have been caught out so they try to cover their tracks a bit better.

Shit don’t start me.

:D

I only hope, that, the ‘individuals’ who honestly get caught through dodgy broker / supplier work, will be protected, whilst those who are responsible for been 'too busy running a straight shooting company', will get the rectum ripped out of there 'successful company'.

    • 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).
