Chaser as well :D twin turbo 2.5L

hmmm wait a sec.. same engine as soarer.. are soarer's faster then r33's in stock form?

Same engine maybe, but the soarer is heavier... On power to weight it would go:

Chaser at 206kw in 1480kg-ish = 139kw/tonne

Skyline R33 at 185kw in 1360kg-ish = 136kw/tonne

Soarer at 206kw in 1560kg-ish = 132kw/tonne

Not that I'm suggesting that power to weight is the only factor that influences acceleration...

Hmmm.....Chaser for sure......

Does anyone Thought about the Tourqe from the TT motor should be significantly hight at Low reves than the R33...

Never really driven a chaser though... :D

Dunno about that - I've always thought the 1JZ twin turbo to be slightly laggy... Although that experience is from a 16 year old Supra. The late model single turbo VVTi 1JZGTE is meant to be far better down low.

chaser. if the skyline was manual it b close i think especially if you got a good launch (good tyres)...

Damn....i though a Manual R33 could keep up with it, given that the chaser is Auto, I know there good..but never though that good.

I have Owned Both a 1997 Series II R33 GTST and a 1997 Toyota JZX100 Chaser Auto.

The Auto Chasers Maul Manual and Auto skylines with up to 200 rwkw.

I had a Catback exhaust on the Chaser and a K&N Pod filter and with the auto ran a 13.2.

On the street, most of my mates 200 rwkw Skylines got dusted. They develop a shitload more torque than the RB25, even More than a Standard RB26.

Beautiful car - get a Manual one though, so so much better and they can pull 13s with no mods whatsoever.

Just to remind you - a JZX90 - Pre 96 Model with the Old 1JZ would be on Par with an Auto R33 - after basic mods though would eat a 33.

JZX100s Came with a Different Motor alltogether - Single Turbo 1JZ VVTi.

    • 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).
