Hi all,

i have had a skyline for nearly a year now so i figured its definantly time to put an introduction up!

around christmas time in 2012 i bought a white r33 gts-t for 7000...

at the time i diddnt think it was too bad a car, it had the following:

splitfire coils

big fmic (not sure on the brand)

cusco rear diff

coilovers all round (different ones on the front to the back)
r34 wheels

adjustable toe in/out on the front

rebuilt stock turbo (blew up about 6 months before i bought it)

electric hicas lock

3 inch from cat back and some sort of aftermarket dump into a 31/2 inch muffler

eventually i got fed up with everything and just bought a exedy hd clutch from the uk

just a tip, dont buy parts from overseas! especially if they are cheap with free shipping!

when the clutch arrived i relised that they had given me a hd clutch plate with a oem replacement pressure plate!

so it grabs fine as long as i dont bully it around too much :)

after that i bought some bonnet clips, found a spoiler in my mates back yard, and painted the r34 wheels and mucked around with the height a bit, this is the resoult!

thanks!

more recently i bought a greddy copy plenum (a huuge mistake)

with the install everything was going fine untill i started filling the new radiator with coolant when i noticed coolant pooling near the head on the plenum side F******K!

so i bit the bullet and bought a legit greddy plenum. which will of course be better off in the long run! and it came with everything needed for the conversion including all the fuel line needed and instructions on how to do it, even if they were in japenese!

ill upload more photos once everything is fitted :)

    • 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
