    Well it looks good from about 30ft! Bit tatty up close. But yeah, it's a handsome shape and only getting better with age.

    Should point out, I have R33 GTR brakes so i don't know if that makes a difference (or is the reason for the hard line bit) - previous owner did the conversion.

    I went ahead and ordered them. Like you say, worst case they warp or wear and I change the discs sooner than otherwise, it's not like they've set me back big bucks. Will take a couple...

    R33 GTR Fitment Front Brake Discs

    Front calipers need a refurb and thinking about replacing the discs and pads at the same time. I have the Brembos off a R33 GTR.

    I'd be amazed if there isn't some solution where you could mount magnets to the prop shaft, and a proximity sensor, which can be calibrated to produce a speedo signal. Almost certainly something off...

    I've used Conceptua a few times, for gaskets and Nissan oil filters typically. Have found them to be good, and the parts certainly look genuine (but I guess it's impossible to be 100% sure).

    I had to use Nengun for an Apexi air filter, couldn't find anywhere UK based when I looked a year or two ago.

    Spark plugs are easy to get, I tend to use Opie Oils.

    I have a koyo rad and managed to get the stock fan and shrowd on, so I'm not quite sure why it won't fit on yours. Can take pictures if it would help.

    Did you get anywhere with this? My BM57 seems to be the same, and similarly can't find any info online about whether the internal prop valve can be shimmed or otherwise overriden.
