HAve you looked at the 3.4l stroker kit? I know its a little bit more, but its good value if you can stretch a grand or two more.

By the time you by rods, pistons, rings, rod bolts and bearinigs, and balance you're around $3k - $3.5k

3.4L stroker has a new crank, rods, pistons, bolts, bearings and rings and is $5k. I think it is already balanced.

WHen you think about it, $1500 really isn't that much more for a torque monster. Plus you wouldn't have many lag issues.

WHERE the f**k u getting these prices from.... $3k for rods, pistons ect.... what are they beryllium ?? or are u buying these and adding on the miner tax ??

well..I just checked and the prices have dropped a little since i looked last. But pretty close..

GOOD Pistons & Rings $1400

Spool Rods: $700

Rod Bolts: $200

Bearings: $200

Balance: $400

Crank Collar & Fitted: $200

Total: $3100

Crank journals \ Block tunnels might need machining - $possible $500 - $1k depending on what needs to be done..

I'd even get the crowns of the pistons and the combustion chambers HPC'd. Price isn't too bad. Just need to balance after this is done.

3.4 Stroker, with all of those parts, already balanced with a brand new crank that is capable of high revs, is only $5k..

Then buy a GTR one day and transfer this bottom end to it... lol

To me it just seems like a better buy and more piece of mind.

I want to stick with the RB25. For what I want it to be, anything over an RB26 is useless. I'm not a racer, drifter or anything. Just want a safe motor and tune that has some balls that MIGHT have a chance against a SIL80 that will be around the streets shortly.

She'll be a screamer. Can't wait to hear it on gate, haha. I don't know who is tuning it yet, he hasn't told me I don't think. But deadset, the turbo on it is going to suck small children in if he drives past a school or even a pregnant woman.

That's the kit I was looking at. Want to keep 2.5L, but the reality is that even the $2,000 for that is out of reach at the moment when im paying off stuff, saving for a house and saving for an overseas holiday on apprentice wages. The 33 is taking a backseat to more important things at the moment, but one day I'll get a rebuild kit, spray and tidy up the engine bay, and make the engine look pretty like my VL RB30

Then it will be 24psi of HKS fury pumping into that engine haha

Bit of a let down ATM but trying to work with HKS to work it out

243rwkw @18psi

But I think I accidentally knocked the timing back a bit when I put my new timing cover on. Will check that and then see if it feels any better

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
