I have just been on a American skyline forum and all i can say is that i am glad the skyline will never go anytime soon the the US. Like Supercharging a GTR and Ripping the heart out of a GTR (RB26) and putting it in a corvette. There is a limited supply of skylines now so we need to make sure that they arnt ruined.

Acknowledging that the 2.6L RB engine is better than the 5.7L V8 could be a good thing :rant:

I have to admit that I do kinda like the late model Corvettes, especially the (late great) Lingenfelter twin turbo'd jobbies. Mmmm...

i dont understand wat the problem is, the rb26 is a fine engine, why shouldnt it be going into cars like corvette? I was once a member of corvette fourms (still am but whore more on SAU :))

And many of the owners where into turbo charging there v8 :drooling: or putting smaller engine e.g v6 with turbos already on them into the corvette to make sure amounts of power

nissan japan still makes old nissan motors, the N1 being a special order thing. Let em use as many engines as they want, as long as they don't get any shells over there so they can rice em up like a farken christmas tree and sticker it like a 5 yr old's lunchbox... only to give civic drivers hardons for round tail lights which they graft into their POS cars with epoxy glue and craft scissors. God forbid that... oh wait they alreay made fast n the furriest din they?

Engine swaps are cool... corvettes are cool... corvette + RB26 = hardon

supercharging a GTR is pretty wierd, when you can add NOS for just as much if you're worried about low end forced induction and higer RPM spool turbos.

Corvette + RB26DETT = Brilliant engine hooked up to a live rear axle with leaf springs 'n 4-speed auto...

Heheh, the older Vettes anyway. Japan + US = Ghey, IMO.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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
