Because they are waaaaay to big.



You won't get any shit from me about ls1 in a skyrine Nick. Living it Gayton tho, that's another story.



A mate had a NA zed, spent many, many thousands doing a vh45 conversion (and 2 years). Sounded awesome but was still slow. So he pulled that out and went vgTT. Cheaper and faster.



Since parted it out and is now talking m3CSL or lotus

That actually makes sense, but why not a more modern Nissan v8 engine?

They don't lope around like cammed up LS's do.

And the other reason was I just simply didn't want one, I don't know anything about the motors whereas info on ls building is plenty full and parts are cheap.

And to me nothing sounds better than a big cube natro v8 screaming up near the redline or shaking around at idle :jizz:

Haha aww but mike it's no fun unless it annoys people lol.

And that's the other thing the quad cams are massive same as with the 5.4 boss motors in falcoons

What about cost and time taken to make swap though?

Yep same idea as old bud that did the 1uz swap into a supra. He came to a happy laps with us once and the thing sounded sooo tuff like an f1 v8 mix. So I was naturally a little hesitant of lining him up, but when play time was over and I got a run down the straight with him I had about 3 1/2 car lengths over the start finish line and mines dead stock apart from the exhaust and the built box

Up near redline at 4500rpm lol

Yeah mates vh45 had extractors (custom so they fit lol) and exhaust and nistune and it would've had about 200rwkw.

Took about 6 months start to finish which I didn't mind cause I was on my ps still anyway and I'd just blown up my gearbox so the car was just sitting there.

Cost wise, it's only money... And the attention it gets and the "WTF is in that thing" reaction when people hear it fire up is just priceless.

Yer mines just got a custom extractors a crappy mail mafless order tune and basically a 3inch straight pipe and a dirty pod filter sucking like a 2 dollar whore off the intake pipe lol. Through my auto with the bigger stall I'd imagine id only have about 200rwkw....

For now

You still running stock cams Nick?

A friend of friend had massive cams in his. Was so bad that in top gear on highway at 110 he got chopped by a stock telstar lol

Top gear roll ons of course ;)

Yer stock everything man, the motor in this trims days are numbered ;)

It's to fast to only have 180, I was chopping cars up around the 230-240kwkw mark at the drags

youve lost a lot of weight in that engine. plus you have more torque, that engine will be running like shit with a mail order tune and your bolt ons.... i have the hsv ls1, standard cats tho, with otr and full tune and that only cranks 230 atw.... manual.

alright maybe you have 190....

    • 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
