and doesn't have a engine which probably weighs more than my car.

LOL... WAT?

If the engine gets heavier, the car gets heavier... Secondly, the RB engines are f**kING HEAVY!!! My engine that is more then twice the size of the RB25 is around 50KG lighter...

Bloody cast iron crap.

My question to you S3RK is: Do you enjoy your car for what it is? If so don't be too concerned about your 'mate' who is hanging shit on it, and just keep enjoying itthumbsup.gif R33 is my least favourite skyline but I still appreciate them for a number reasons.

Plus if your mate wants to put his money where his mouth is.. Tell him to find an R33 skyline that floats..rofl.gif

but u need an anchor to be heavy so you have get a 3 inch mild steel exhaust with pipe wall thicknoess of 5mm just to get a bit of extra weight... i heard the thicker the pipe, the more potential for power gains. trust me noobs thumbsup.gif

      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
