well I can answer the alice springs question....don't worry about it!

The BP there has ultimate (if you can afford it lol). It does get hot so just make sure you don't get a super agressive tune....easy.

Like RBNT the only problem I had was blowing out the plastic inner guard liner about 10klm over the border when we first hit 180 :)

Oh and keep stock suspension....there's no corners up there :O

Cereal Killer, I also considered the straight swap for RB26DETT as well but the trouble is, you really don't know what sort of condition the RB26 is in either. It too will eventually require a rebuild and then you're up for the price of the new engine plus the price of the rebuild!

fit the rb26 pistons lower compression 8.6 as opposed to 9 to 1 around 110-120 each and would suit your needs. rb26 crank and rods also fit they would probalby add an extra grand plus to the job.

the rest should be fine I would gopower fc and z32 afm to start b4 doing injector I would also go 2540 or td06 20g rather than 2535. or a 500 hp roller from garret.

Why waste the money when you arn't going to use the potential.

Simply rebuild the stocker with a set of forged pistons.

Slap a huffer on it to make from 250-300rwkw and off u go. Why settle for only 250rwkw?!

If not stick with the 2535 drop the comp to 8:5:1 and use stocker pistons.

what he said.. $1200 or so for a forged piston kit, and general clean up on your bottom end. Might be able to get it done for under $3500 - shouldn't have to touch the head.

Don't get sucked in by expensive rods, expensive head gaskets, aftermarket cams and all other crap. RB25DET will do 300rwkw with a good condition engine, just give it forgies and make it safer.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
