scan0001.pdf Hello All,

I have a BNR34 red top engine for sale, it is one of the few that can have its history certified. I is in a 99 V-spec GTR that was imported into Australia in the early 2000's. I have the original dash at 17,000kms and a Nismo 320km dash sitting at 112,000 in the vehicle currently. The engine has been serviced religiously at 5,000k intervals and uses no oil, the only engine mods were HKS cam gears that weren't dialed in and a N1 water pump when the timing belt was replaced 5,000kms ago. Outside of that it ran a HKS EVC, Garret 7's, Pods and Apexi FC, all to put a modest 389 hp out at the wheels.

We were looking to rebuild the engine, but have decided to go with a N1 power plant instead.

There is an issue with the engine, number 5 cylinder is running low on compression 12% out, the guys at X-speed believe it to be a cracked ring. So if anyone is interested this engine would suit a rebuild, we are looking for offers now as you will be able to see and feel how the engine is running and make a decision based on that. I have no doubt this engine will run as it is for another ten years, it runs perfectly the only telltale is that is was breathing a little heavier than normal under boost at 17psi.

Engine location is Perth WA, please get in touch if you are interested. I am being completely transparent here, I have no doubt I could sell this engine for a lot more without disclosing what I know about it. If you would like to chat to the cars mechanics re the engine, please contact me first thanks.

Has the engine been removed?

Pics would also be helpful..

Engine is still running in car, as far as pics go if you want I can email, but it is like any other red top rb26

I'm interested as well. Looking at a build but want to still drive the line. As per previous post, what does it come with?

PS I'm south of you so can pick up to avoid transport issues.

    • 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).
