Hey Guys thought id make a build thread of my R33 i bought a while ago. Ive always loved and owned silvia's. But one day a mate of mine at work mentioned how his mate was selling a skyline for dirt cheap. Anyway the buyer fell thought,to lazy to pick it up. So i went around and had a look at it It was a 1993 R33 GTS RB25DET manual series 1 coupe. When i sore it though it was in pretty bad shape it had been sitting in a shed down near Margaret River for the past 7 years. As you can imagine it had like an inch layer of dust all over it and inside it.Owner had hit a curb/pole and bent the front LHS suspension, dented the fender, damaged the door etc. and got a yellow sticker. It was just sitting there doing nothing going to waste only had 120,000 kms on it and was all original besides the exhaust and rims. So i knew it had plenty of life left once fixed up. Plus i can build it up from scratch to how i want it. Its going to be build to be a nice street car that i want to take drifting and maybe even do a few time attack events like the antilag ones. Anyways once the damage is fixed and registed the mods will start. ill try get plenty of pics up. Cheers

:D

    • 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).
    • 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
