So after wanting one for about 5 years ('99 I test drove a R32 Gtst and wanted to buy it then but things were stacked against me, and since then I have been overseas a lot) I finally got my skyline.

Bought it from Dean from UPI so some of you may have seen it before, its a Midnight Purple R33 GTR which I'm stoked with.

Picked it up on Tuesday night and have been to busy driving it to post on here since then ;)

Here's what I know about it

- full Trust exhaust

- Trust Intercooler

- Cam Gears

- Ohlins Coilovers

- R34 GTR Wheels

- Tuned by Ben from Race Pace running 15psi boost... and made ~270 kw at the wheels (anyone who knows Ben, knows he dynos his cars conservatively - not on shootout mode)

It's pretty clean, and stockish which is what I want... still got more than enough power for me - and as a mate said if I ever think its not quick enough, just don't drive it for a week heh - but we'll see :D

I think the first thing I need to do to it is get spacers for the wheels to make them sit flush with the guards.

There are photos in the gallery here (I need to delete some - to many of the same place but can't figure out how to delete photos) or you can check:

If you see me around feel free to say hi ;)

P.S. Thanks to my mate DentR33 for finding this car and helping me look at others!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
