Details as follows:

The car is a 1973 Datsun 1200 Coupe, white.

It's out of rego and has no plates on it. It's been yellow tagged by the council, who'll come and tow it at the start of next week. I'd much rather it go to someone in the Dato community who can give it a new lease on life.

Has a reconditioned engine that's about 8 years old. Which has had a pretty easy life as it's been in the inner city for the last 6 years. It runs, but the battery is flat. Wouldn't put it on the road without work on the brakes at least. 1200 engine, 4 speed gearbox. No special mods have been done to it. Never been in a crash, and with the exception of 1 cooked engine it's been very reliable.

It can be picked up from Canning st near Kay st Carlton anytime after 6pm tonight. Car will be unlocked and keys in the ignition I won't be around for the weekend, and will be happy if it's "gone to a better place" when I get back. :D

I'll need to retrieve a few things from out of it after I get home from work tonight, so no pickup before then.

Anyone who needs more info call me via "NUMBER REMOVED" and I will do my best to answer any queries otherwise just come and take the darned thing :)

have a cry mate. read my post, i asked if doing this was illegal....because its basically stealing a car if someone just comes and picks up a car with the keys in the ignition...regardless of wether the owner wanted it or not, the car is still technically not the persons who just picks it up

lol, isnt this like stealing a car?

no paper work to transfer n shit like that?

i might be wrong...just asking

Hi Guys,

Dato's previous car owner here.

I don't see there being any issues in regards to ownership. I've owned the car outright for the last 8-9 years and the old rego plates have been handed back to Vicroads for destruction (been out of registration and off the road for about a year).

If Juls wants to PM me I'm happy to exchange numbers etc and fill in any history/old rego details etc.

Thanks to Dale for helping me out on short notice in getting the mesage up on these forums.

Michael.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      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).
