you "BOUGHT" a stock R33.

BOUGHT = purchased

BROUGHT = to bring it somewhere with you.

Hope this helps.

You have no idea how much this sh!ts me. Its one of my pet peevs. How can soo many people get that wrong. It basic English FFS!!!

/end rant

Sell your car for $10k, buy a $18k built R33 with 320rwkw.

Cost $8k

Or do it yourself and spend upwards of $20k on top of your purchase price lol, oh not to mention the 2 years it will probably take to get all the parts, put it together and make it work.

buy my r33 its up for sale in SA 330+rwkw on a forged engine, has all the parts and brakes, plus its a SLEEPER

Personally for that power level and stock engine i would be running E85 and the following mods.

3037 on standard exhaust manifold with 18psi can

Power FC or Vipec (alot of users rave about the vipec)

Sard 850 injectors

Bosch 044 internal pump

Standard inlet Manifold

Decent Boost controller

Blitz LM cooler (retains stock inlet piping)

Z32 AFM

Real good exhaust 3.5inch

On 20 ish psi you should see upward of 320rwkw with a good tuner.

Heres a dyno graph of my mates R33 and mine, his in Red and 3582 turbo... my car in blue running HKS3037.

Oh and a pic of my engine bay to show how stealth you can have it all looking.

Stealth is the way to go. Especially since your new car is cop bait, the last thing you want after spending all your money modding, is to have that nice yellow sticker on your windscreen. I've gone the "stealth way" and I'd be more than happy to let a copper inspect under my bonnet... hmmm, that doesn't sound right...........

exactly... got pulled over the other day... only got defected for pod as they could not see my low mount 3071R :)

gotta do something about that pod tho... $84 everytime i get pulled over...

PS buy my 260rwkw Skyline... much cheaper than building one yourself OP :D

Hahahaha.

Havn't seen you around in a while man :blink:

yeah.. work started making me work for my money.

and I got rid of the skyline so I kinda spend my time elsewhere..

but you know..

occasionally come back to see what's crack-a-lackin and that..

watsupwitchoo?

Brought anything for your car lately?

Cheapest 320kw i can think of:

Take your 25 apart. Get a $400 rb30. Keep the short motor. Clean up the surfaces on the head and the block. Get that head welded up. While the head is off take to it with a drill and tap in a little fitting to drain your oil back into the sump. Just T it into your turbo drain if you want. And bolt the rb25 head back on. Should be about $200 in labour for the tidying of the head. Use your standard manifolds and all that. Chuck on an XR6T turbo. Grab some 550 nismo injectors as they will just plug into your stock wiring loom. and put in an 040 fuel pump. Oh and grab yourself an ebay cooler and an rb20 ecu. :) Use a std nissan head gasket

That is keeping things as cheap as I can think of.

    • 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).
