so... anyone else here actually driven a NUR and a 33 GTS-t?

A NUR can punch out 300 without opening the engine or changing the turbos, a 33, for reliabilites sake, pretty much needs both. And cause someone will bring it up just to be a dick (Birds), I would suggest an oil cooler at least on the NUR... the injectors will be damn close to maxing too...

You'd be hard pressed finding a situation where the GTS-t beats the nur if they had the same power.

add 30k to it though and thats a different scenario. Really depends where you spend the money.

Quoted for truth!

I had driven one a few times (the same car).

Stock N1 Engine / N1 Turbo's (factory boost of 1.2 Bar = 17.4 PSi) / FMIC / Air Intake.

All was done was an APex'i Power FC / Full Turbo Back Exhaust and had adjustable Cam Gears.

Could have done without the Cam Gears, but was done when tuning.

306 kW's at the rear wheels, dyno'd at RE Customs.

lets stop this topic and turn it into a fail thread..... being led by the guy in this video

hell, as the owner of a R34 GTT I weighed up the options of going hiflow, getting everything done to the max, shooting for 270-300RWKW and when I did the calculations and cost I've realised the best way to get this done and be happy about it in the future is to buy a nice R33 GTR :whistling:

33 with 30k spent on it will blow the pants off a stock gtr, even a nur, in every way except for traction off the line. a 33 with 10k spent on it will beat a stock gtr.

ive ran an r33 gtr with an exhaust upgrade and beat it with just a cooler and an exhaust and arc air box.

so i dont quite see how spending 30k on a pos r33 will be intelligent besides 40k and u could have an r34 gtr or evo 8/9

there would be plenty of 33's getting round with that sort of money spent on them. hell there are probably 32's with that sort of money spent on them. it might not have happened all in 1 hit, but over time it adds up.

start with a dead stock car.

new wheels: lets say 2k

exhaust (decent brand): 1500

cooler (again, decent): 1k

so there's 4.5k on very basic mods

then lets say he blows a motor, or decides he wants more power and wants a built motor to take it

ecu + tune: 2 to 3k

injectors: 1k (rounded up a bit there)

turbo: i dunno, lets say 3k with all water and oil fittings and manifold

engine rebuild: honestly don't know, but i'd guess about 6k including everything

clutch: 500

diff: 2k

so there's 19k. then if he decides to give the car a respray, new bodykit and put in some racing seats or retrim everything, it wouldn't take much to eat up the other 11k.

sure he could've bought something else for that money, but this will more than like blow the doors off it, and what if he doesn't like the shape of the 34 or the evos. everyone has their own taste in cars.

    • 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).
