hey mate

the front bar on the 33 is held on by 4 screws and about 4-6 clips under the headlights. I've watched my mate justin911 take his off, on the side of the road at 7am...with nothing but a screwdriver and a medicare card...it took him about 5 minutes :O

I'm not sure what dimensions the GTR coolers are, but ill try to find out for you.

Plenty of people have these kits on their skylines though, so it wouldnt be a problem in that respect :)

Let me know if you'd like me to put you on the list.

Cheers

When mounting these kits is it necesary to cut my front bar or surrounding metal work?

some people say i will need to cut the guts out of my bar while others say the kits fit direct on without cutting anything.

who is correct?

i know ill have to cut a 3" hole to get the piping through but other then that how hard is it?

i looked behind my front bar and there is a crash bar that runs from the top of the chasis to the bottom that looks like it will be in the way.

will i need to remove this?

if i dont it looks as thought the kit wont fit at all.

cheers

also how do these dimentions compare to the GTR size? not that its all that imporant but I'm looking for a IC that isn't too big however I have no idea when it comes to sizes...

R33 GTR cooler dimensions, thanks to the man Gary, aka Sydney kid

"Hi Michael, the core is 600 X 300 X 65 and the total length (inc end tanks) is 1010 mm."

just out of curiousity, what is the total weight of these kits?

I'll try find that out for you :(

ok...it does vary from car to car. yes you will need to cut the hole you mentioned for the piping...and may need to trim behind the bar to allow the cooler to fit. i cant say either way, but id say there would be some trimming, which i highly doubt would be visible from the front....so basically it'd look untouched once back on the car...and any cutting behind the bar shouldnt be too major...plenty of people have these kits, and kits exactly like them on 31's, 32's 33's and 34's, with stock bars...so i dont see it being a problem

no worries mate, ill add you to the list.

once i have 10 buyers, ill send a PM to those 10 people requesting payment. once those 10 people have depositied the money, and its in my account, ill buy the 10 and send them out asap. any additional people after the first 10 will get have theirs sent out as soon as i get the money from them.

The $400 you put in my account is being used to buy the actual cooler i send to you....so when the first 10 people give me $400, thats $4000, which will be spent on the coolers, and the postage costs (also paid up front) will be used to send them out to you guys asap :yes:

I think thats all the questions... :wave:

I am very interested in this kit, when would payment be required?

I will give you a definite answer next week, don't add me to the list yet, but I am about 90% sure I will be getting one of these.

The core size of the intercooler included in this kit is actually 600x300x76mm, or 780x300x80mm total size from end tank to end tank, top to bottom.

cheers,

is it okay if i just pick up the cooler? 'cause it's alot easier for me than have to tranfer $400 and wait untill the cooler arrive.

if you're in melb u can pick it up from me and pay when you do...but only if we get to 10 buyers first....thats what a group buy is.

Very interested. Is any chopping up of my front spoiler required? I have almost stock r33 s2. Curious what will be done during install...

How many hours would it take to install by a pro? Wanna work out labour costs..

Thanks!

mate, as mentioned a few times in here already, the extent of modification to your front bar varies from car to car. it should be minimal, and not noticeable what so ever from the front , once the bar is put back on.

labour wise, i think people have said $2-$300 for installation, depending where you take it....but you might be able to save yourself that copule of hundred by having a go at it yourself, with the instructions provided :P

      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).
