you should look at it now because you will only be out of pocket an extra $1000 buy the time you do the maths.

have a read of this and see what you are up for.

Yeah tweety Ive read that thread, I've always been concerned about the need to change more of the things in the engine bay; wiring loom, ECU, all plumming etc..

you dont need to change the loom or ecu?

the loom only attaches to the head, which is still rb26 and the ecu would be changed and tuned as its a modified engine,

plumming is getting custom made as youre using a big single...so only the adaptor plate is different.

I'm not building a RB26/30, hence no research... I'm building a RB26 and I know enough about them to complete this build just fine, but thanks for the concern.. I've been researching RB26 builds for the last 5 years or so as I always knew I was buying a GTR and I have always loved a high revving RB26 :thumbsup:

Yeah okay, well a little miss understanding but thats cool..

No real updates today, still waiting on rims from Japan, car from body shop and engine from engine builder hahaha Good things come to those who wait so i guess I'll wait some more...

Hey mate,

where and how much exactly are you getting the rear diffuser from?

Cheers,

Sorry mate, the panel shop ordered it from Nissan Japan brand new.

Not sure but the genuine brand new wheels, front and rear diffusers, nismo rear pods and side skirts were $13700 delivered...

So I'm guessing it was fairly pricey... Haha

    • 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
