Yep I remember that, a mate of mine did similar - well more the doing mid 10s and 400kw on a stock motor (with just pump gas, no nitrous oxide, I must add) thing that the crowing and being banned thing :)

This car has flawless victory, however:

Yellow pages says the business still exists.

Funny to hear what happened to him in the end.. I have a few things in common with him.. A name, bit of an attitude problem and around the same time for the same reason we both... Well I wont say.

Hi, I'm Scott.

Somewhere in one of the threads around this time it came up....I can't remember which one but I am pretty sure it was alleged but can't remember if it was confirmed.

Much of what was said about making power still rings true. Power is relatively easy, longevity is harder.

totally... I think both the Simon's (R32 and S14) are good examples of high power, longevity and hard use.

My last one lasted 3 years getting pushed pretty hard at this power and that was a 200,000+ motor that had god knows what happen to it in japan (car had harness marks, camera mount marks, the turbo was clearly either returned to stock or had been popped/replaced and repair work to both rear 1/4's)

I think it is safe to say that if you get a fresh-ish 25 and it's mainly street use, (and you service/tune it appropriately / look after it) there is nothing to say you cant enjoy being in the 300 club for a long time... you just have to be prepared that there is a chance it will let go. And if it's tracked regularly, then you need to be prepared that it will most probably let go... but then again, a built motor can let go too...

I have 2 mates that have 300kw built RB's and they have been through 6 motors between them over the last 5 years... I have pushed that power out of stockers and bolt on's and I only used 2. not true of all examples, but definately food for thought if anyone is reading this and trying to make the descision

I assume the only weak point for now is the HG and if that goes I'll replace it on mine, if for some reason it's more terminal than that then I'll likely throw another stocker in its place...

The NEO is a tough bit of gear and I hope it holds up :yes:

    • 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
