Hi all

I need some doubts answered.

What is the "max safe speed" that a 4 door r33 model skyline can go to for 1st gear and 2nd gear?

It is a rb25de engine. auto transmission.

sorry for asking but the RPM meter is eff'ed :/

and also last but not least the tyre pressure on stock wheels.

thnx all :3some:

If you have to ask you shouldn't own one...

4 Doors have a much higher top speed than the 2 doors...safe top speed is about 400kmp/h and auto will handle it with no drama's at all.

NO!

If its an auto, drive it nicely and let it shift by itself. Don't slap shift gears, just leave it in drive, and if ...for what ever reason, you absolutely must and insist on using sub gears....there is a rev limiter which SHOULD kick in before you blow anything up...then again, do it on a regular basis and It'll blow up anyway. Get the tacho fixed...that won't be rocket science...well for most people it isnt.

Tyre pressure should be 32 PSI all round if I recall correctly.

thnx for the info... i think i cant fix the tacho... heard its not fixable.. have to get a new one.... or a used one... well im not sure... i actually plan to get those white glow gauges too but heard it wont fit.... :D

I'd suggest 60 in 1st, and 100 in 2nd be the limit...but if it's an auto, then just change the trans fluid and filter, then leave it to change on it's own...thats what a group of highly experienced engineers got paid to design it for. Unless you know better, of course.

    • 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
