ROLL CALL!

my brothers formal is on tuesday night - and as he was discussing a few weeks ago he was hoping if we could all do a drive thru for him

he wants to get there at 6 and its being held at the hilton in the city

hopefully some of you guys can help him out :D

This tuesday? damn, wish you'd asked a couple of days ago :)

I'll try to get out of cricket, but it will depend how many people want to play

GTS4 ? ? ? Is that the AUS made RB20det wit 4wd ? ? ?

JDM

The GTS4 is essentially a poor man's GTR. When Nissan released the GTR, the Japanese folk who lived in the mountainy areas with the rough roads and snow and crap really wanted them, but couldn't afford them. Nissan built an RB20 powered, heavier version of the GTR. The GTR uses all the fancy aluminium parts for some panels, and running gear etc. The GTS4 uses steel. So basically: it's the standard GTST body (so not wide body like the GTR), with the ATESSA 4WD from the GTRs, single turbo RB20.

GTS4s are less common because it is hard to find ones that aren't rusted out due to all the snow and salt.

Whats planned for it? I have such a soft spot for gts4's. More so when rb20's are kept.

The little motor that could!

For now, probably just a brake and turbo upgrade. HICAS lock out, drift switch. Cosmetic changes.

Down the track I'm going to look at a different engine (maybe a 26)

If I have my car by then, I will. If I don't... well let's just say I aint walking.

    • 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
