I was talking about the japanese cars such as the HKS gtr and other tuning house full drag cars. I can undersand keeping a street car manual. But i dont know why say for example the hks gtr is manual still, it could pick up alot of time going to a set up auto even tho the development for that would be a long time int he making.

Matt, I was thinking about putting a powerglide in the GT-R, yeah and then putting a 350 Chev it in with a Ford 9-inch... what do you reckon?? :D

Hell yeah mate! :( But keep the RB26 in there, just whack a blow-through triple Webber carbie set-up on it.

SR910,

Yep I 100% agree with you re the HKS drag car & the like. The HKS car uses an air shifted box doesn't it? I'd have thought it would be reasonably good anyway?

7 grand stall, shit that only leaves 1k rev range on my car! Munro's would be allright revving to 10K.

Just couldn't drive a skyline with an auto, it just seems wrong. Although in my Torana days I had a turbo 350 with full manual valve body, shift kit and high stall....

And it still only ran 13's! :D

Actually, just got HPI no. 39. The cover car (QLD R33 GTS-T) has a race prepped tri-matic in it, has run 10.2 on slicks. So yeah, auto's good for 1/4 mile, but not for flogging through the hills.

yeah i copped a lil sticker on the old jms car.All he was lookin for was a BOV whick i dont have anyway. Dont have to go thru regency i dont think as he made errors filling out the form.

defect least of my worries atm. Spun a bearing later that night so motor is out and gettin rebuilt as we speak.

Cant wait for me fresh, un danny touched motor. scored the crank so got myself another R34 crank. too easy.

    • 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
