Hey team

Posted intro on newbie area but start off with my background anyway. It all started at 17 with my first skyline, albeit a mighty gte lol had always been a huge fan of four door 32s so started with a car the parents didnt think I could stack. 5 years of thrashing later finally got the funds to slap running gear in from a s2 r33 gts25t...... stolen and found stripped a week later, dirty little welfare bludging grommets. Here we are 5 years on from that point and finally got another 32. This time started with something a bit more respectable, obviously a 4dr32 again but this time packing full gtr running gear. Also got lucky in the fact someone had gone to the trouble of rebuilding turbs (n1) and dropping in some 555 injectors, wolf computer and other bits nd pieces. Car is chucking out 370 rwhp which was warp speed quick for a couple of months but is now mind numbingly boring a year on. Guess iv got the bug as im sure everyone else here does, so now I find myself on the build page.

Plans at the mo are pretty modest as cant really afford to crack open the old girl. So for now bolt on bits only

2860-9's

Tomei cam gears

Apexi avcr

New dumps, front pipe and 3.5 exhaust

(Want tomei but looking at xforce due to cost thoughts?)

ID1000's

Oil cooler and filter relo kit

Also doing some non performance upgrades with before and after pics to come. Looking for max response and about

315-330 awkw. thoughts, tips or anything needed/missed pics 2m

Nice build, looks great on the GTR wheels!

Is the engine early R32? If so has the crank collar been done?

Wouldn't want the pump to go after you get it all running!

As for the exhaust I my 2c is get an equal length front pipe like Mine's or similar.

Will make the exhaust note much nicer, regardless of what catback exhaust you have.

Another quick mod is the twin turbo divider plate, this should unlock a few kilowatts and reduce shuffle.

What year is the motor? I think the narrow drive was 89-91 and they fixed it in 92 and later.

Picture below - Look at the difference in size of the flat face which drives the oil pump gear.

You can see on the narrow one there is only a few square millimeters that actually drive the pump!

Doing an oil pump at the same time as belts, tensioner is a great idea, but I would highly NOT recommend an N1 oil pump. If anything it is weaker than stock!

If you have the narrow oil pump drive (as above) you will need to drop the motor to get the crank out and get the collar replaced by an engine builder.

If you do that you might as well get everything balanced at the same time, this will also help protect the oil pump gears.

As for which pump you should get. At the very least I would get a Nismo (not N1) oil pump. But to be safe I would recommend Nitto, new style Greddy pump, or arguably the best, Tomei.

It all really comes to how bulletproof do you want your motor to be. Do you want to replace the pump and belts now but pull the motor again in 6 months because the balance was off?

Or do you want to have a bit more expense now but have a motor that you know will last for a number of years?

So still havent finished but as with any project with a 26 in dont think i ever will be. Will be changing turbos next year and am looking forward to the extra power. Since last post car has been given new fuel system including 1000cc injectors and e85 safe pump along with flex fuel sensor. Has new adaptronic ecu with splitfire coil packs. 3.5 catback and 3.5 cat delete. Will do dump/front when i decide which turbo/turbos to use. Was wanting to go -5s but am seriously considering the gtx3582 with twin entry mid mount 6boost manifold any thoughts?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
