hi all

in my previous post I had a question about the nm35 stage engine vq25det.

the quality and style of these cars is a big bonus as is the power from the engine.

however due to really liking manuals and the ease of modifying the rb25det neo 6 engine.

I have decided to buy a 25t RS Four.

modifications planned once I have vehicle are as follows.

Link G4 plug in ecu ---- everything I have read suggests they plug straight into s2 stagea

Upgraded turbo ---- unsure on what specific one yet.

Electronic boost controller

Inlet air temp sensor

upgraded turbo back exhaust

Return Flow FMIC

AFM delete pipe

the Link G4 ecu comes built in with a MAP sensor so I want to go down that track of getting rid of the AFM

at this stage I wont be after too much power future modifications if I get the itch for more power ill add a front facing plenum change intercooler and upgrade injectors and exhaust/turbo manifold

hope it all goes to plan with no hickups and I will be posting pics I tend to go snap happy

There are hi-flow rebuild options for the standard turbo which should give you enough headroom for a while.

If youre going to start from a stock car, then theres probably a lot of groundwork maintenance to be done in the suspension for example.

work at pedders so shouldn't be too hard or costly to sort suspension out

Hi Jarrod & welcome. Why not buy a clean 260RS straight up & be done with it? For a while at least. :yes:

Cheers GW

I agree, little disappointed I didn't go down this route and settled for a rsfour, when really I should have waited and bought the right car the first time. Now don't get me wrong I love my car but sometimes which I had the manual option.

    • 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
