hey all,

now i have a 98 ECR33 GTST and im gonna be doing the internals, Td06 turbo upgrade ect. i was wondering were a good place to get the Apexi power fc tuned would be?? and the best place to get the block and head worked on?? im gonna be doing suspension and brakes so any good places for these aswell would help bearing in mind i dont want a crap tuner or mechanic and ill be going to the same place to get these thngs done. btw im looking for 300+rwkw so i need people that know what there doing. im from the south near marion so i dont wana travel too far. cheers

Hes done a few cars on here + more...(tunes + had motors built)

Hes an excellent tuner of the PFC, and knows whats safe as he doesnt try to squeeze for that last 10rwkw....

Does great $100 wot tunes...talk to him to discuss what u want.

300kw+

For that power output you will need a fuel pump upgrade,larger injectors,and possible some cam gears to give you some leeway on timing issues, and thats without making up for any defeceincies you motor may have as std.For all engine machining Rhemac Mtr's in gawler are the best around by far, K&A motor sports at greenfeild are the best for setting up brakes(upgades) and suspension, also try Manta racing at richmond for suspension( he's done my own car!)And as for tuning a pfc as darren said shaun at boots wkx, willal racing at dry creek (wingfeild) or tilbrook dyno are all good tuners........And as for not wanting to travel to far-----dont be a tight arse you travel to were ever to get the best job done! 300kw is easy achievable but it doesn;t come cheaply!!!

Hope this helps a little and good luck in your search---keep us informed in your travels....

SKYLINE... (Kym) :D

no worries man, yer spose i will travel that bit extra to get the best but i dunno bout going to gawler bit far away, anyway yer i knew bout injectors fuel pump ect just didnt add em in. will deffinetly keep you guys posted bout the work in progress. anymore help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

SIBA33,

You will find if you start questioning some of the "so called engine builders" around town that most of their engine machining goes to Rhemac (and that incl the v8 brigade and a hell of a lot of race,speedway, and ski motors as well!) so you are better of going and speaking to Des at Rhemac and get shown around the workshop and look at the state of the art machines etc that they constantly up grade before you off load the $ to someone who will take a cut of the $ and only be the middle man with Rhemac or similiar being the contact you need to spk to.I'ts what i did before out laying app $25k for my complete enginge rebuild and ancillaries.

SKYLINE...(Kym) :D

hey

i have just gone down this rd.

i can highly recomend John Moyle Engineering on 82696067

i supplied them with all the parts that i wanted installed and my bare block

and they cleaned, machined, balanced and assembled the short motor including a installing a Jun

wide crank collar onto the crank suit a N1 oil pump fo under $1300

im currently at 276kws with the standard head and cams, so give me a week or two to get some

cams and 300kws is a very easy target.

danger man 4 what specs do u have bud?? how much have u spent so far i was told 10k for the 300rwkw im after. i added up everythn and seemd to be right

engine internals

acl race forged pistons

eagle h beam rods

acl race bearings

arp main and head studs

Jun wide collar

full nissan gasket set

fully balanced

three angle valve grind

standard head and cams

nissan timing belt

bolt ons

stainless low mount manifold

gt3071r-sp

nismo 550 injectors

q45 AFM

Power FC

walbro pump

Sard rising rate fuel reg

custom dump

full 3 inch straight thru stainless exhaust

3 inch high flow stainless cat

iridium plugs

blitz bov

gizzmo ebc

MV automatics shift kit

i have spent a lot more then 10grand

oh and a 600x300x80 intercooler from ASE

if your looking for that sort of power i would suggest getting a HKS turbo, injectors, fuel pump and PFC d jetro that should get you very close to 300 rwkws without having to start spending to much money on engine internals...

mate of mine just put a HKS 25/35 on his R33 and made 245 rwkws with 14 degrees of timing and 14 Psi of boost and the only other mods he has is straight through 3 inch exhaust and pod filter.

This was all done by Tilbrook Auto.. they did a great job.

Edited by Faircall01

well..

some rb25 pistons take a beating some dont

my car only just clicked over 40,000 klm from new, i was pumping 13 psi into it with AFR of around 11

and one good rev - power slide around a corner and, that was it.

lost compression in no 6 from 155 down to 55.

stripped the motor and i actualy had 4 pistons with cracked ringlands

the rings were still intact on all 6 cylinders, and the car was still making good power, just ruff at idle

so you make up your own mind..

thrash it till it blows, or build it properly from the start and enjoy 20psi and 300 - 350 kws for years to come.

yer cheers, nah going the trust turbo, better power that keeps goin look at the 'power with a Td06' thread. yer im deffinetly doing internals not sure wether to do the head or the block first!! if im puting in pistons and rods what else should i get done to the block while its apart??

    • 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).
