Hi Guys,

I have a R33 which has a blown motor. Suspect is a cracked piston. The car still starts and drives but has a nice bit of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. My mechanic thinks it is number 5 piston based on a compression test

I am selling as i just dont have the money to pull the motor out and repair it, because i know once i get it out i will want to forge the bottom end and it will cost me more than i can afford

Some details on the car:

- Series 1

- Colour Black

- 150,000 kms - Standard motor, never been rebuilt

- 5 speed manual

- Sunroof

- Unregistered

Mod List:

- Garrett GT3076r turbo

- Standard low mount manifold

- 3 inch Kakimoto exhaust

- Front mount intercooler

- Microtech LT16 ECU

- Bosch 044 Fuel pump

- Fuel Regulator

- 850 cc Injectors

- Yellow Jacket coil pack

- Custom air filter and cover

- Front strut brace

Interior :

- GReddy e-boost 2

- Apexi turbo timer

- GReddy boost gauge and mount

- Pioneer front splits

- Pioneer rear 6 inch speakers

Additional :

- Comes with standard r32 rims powder coated black . I have a set of Super Hiro 19 inch rims that were on the car for a few weeks with 85% rubber that i could include for the right price

- It has a flat fiber glass boot

Location = Wollongong, NSW

The car was making 275 rwkw's on 16psi when the problem occurred and i have kept it garaged ever since.

I'm looking to either sell it for around 4.5k or to swap for something that is running. If anyone is interested please let me know and we can work something out. Open to inspections and all sorts of swaps

Thanks

Rob

    • 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       
    • 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).
