Engine bay pics? or pics of the car? Outside looks pretty much like any skyline, except blue badges and for the R34 different factory front bar.

I made a start on modifying the engine cover to fit, still needs more work trimming and smoothing, but still looks far better than ntohing at all! The DE NEO's are pretty ugly underneath it all. Had to make a custom bracket though, which is something temporary at the moment made up from leftover FMIC kit brackets and a combination of bolts and nuts which worked out quite well considering :) The heatshield is something I cut up from the ACL heatshield material, and has made a significant difference! Intake pipe and silicon bend is no longer scorching hot after a drive, but rather just warm. seems to be sustaining power for longer before heatsoak becomes an issue :P Eventually I'll do a few more things to make the engine bay look a bit nicer/neater.

Well I'm only running 7PSI, but compared to N/A it's good to have some decent power! Holding up well, been 5 months now since the conversion.

Here's a few shots I took tonight in high sensitivity mode on my cybershot.. not the clearest photos but I like slow shutter without flash :(

Thats really nice nathan,neatest conversion i have ever seen

Thanks :happy: It's getting there, work in progress. Dan's conversion has to be one of the neatest I've seen actually, but he didn't have FMIC piping going over the radiator. FMIC piping over the radiator already looks messy IMO.

Only around 160rwkw at the moment but that's on 7PSI and with an auto transmission. That particular Dyno has been known to report around 10kw under, and sometimes up to 20kw in some cases, but power figures are only numbers, what matters is the driveability and reliability of that power figure. It's easy to make more power really, all whats needed is more boost, but everything one step at a time. Trying to make more use out of power already there at the moment, which is why I've started with the heatshield, airbox, and next up a cold air feed. Once I'm satisfied with the keeping temps down side of things, then I'll look at either stage 2 shift kit and autotrans service complete with transmission fluid cooler (try to eliminate flaring, speed up the shifts and get the existing power to the wheels more efficiently and without overheating the gearbox); or an EBC. My tuner reckons that my R33 turbo is good for up to 12PSI, though I'm not sure if I'd run it that high as yet, not with a used R33 turbo. But 12PSI with an EBC should see it making some sweeet power, which admittedly I am craving for lol

I have been drifting my r32 rb25de+t for the past 2 years, prior to the conversion i rebuilt the engine and fitted a 1.8mm cometic headgasket, lowering the compression ratio just enough.

After a decent run in period i bolted up the Garret 3071R and external gate and after going through 3 rb20 boxes it fitted a rb25 box and a once piece tailshaft.

But she's good for up to 400hp running just 1 bar of boost... rb25de+t engine all the way man. :happy:

Theres a thread here of the conversion in progress.

Finished product here on tunersine article.

Very nice Tiff! Loving that R32! Done an awesome job with it, well done!

Just so you know, we have a thread just for N/A+t power results, would love to see the results there! Good to see another N/A+t conversion that's come out good :happy:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/N-...-N-t249186.html

210RWKW off 9.5PSI, RB25DE+T, FMIC, 3" exhuast stock 33 ecu & injectors, highflow T3.

2500rpm full boost. Because of the high compression, it makes more power per PSI boost, so 210rwkw with no R&R (used to R&R after 10PSI though)

Next thing I'm hoping to add on is something along the lines of a TD06-20g or possibly something like a 3076r... will have to forge as well to turn up boost anymore, for piece of mind...

Great to see more and more de+t's!

cheers mate, ur car has sprung up looking the goods! interior took me 5 days, 9 layers, 4 different spray cans... but its pretty scratch proof now, which is what I really wanted.

and the engine looks nice because this was at a show and shine so gave it a clean before I came :laugh:

btw, to clean up and polish all the metal bits in ur engine bay to finish of the rest of the good looks, I use this stuff... U can get it at any autobarn...

works a treat!

yeah that stuff is liquid gold :laugh:

I decided to get a handwash and polish done today at the Carwash Cafe place in Mt Gravatt. Just wanted to get it looking nice for the charity cruise tomorrow.

So here I go whoring this thread again :( Same location, same method.

(ps. I really need to get out and take photos before it's completely dark lol)

    • 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
