I've just recently bought an r33 gtst series 2 (1996). It currently has 360rwkw on eflex.

Current setup...

Greddy plenum

740cc side feed injectors

Blitz front mount

6boost manifold

Gt3582r

Walbro intank

Surge tank

Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump

And other bits and peices...

So I want to make about 450-500rwkw.

Im going to get an eflex sensor to be able to run up to 85% ethenol and 98 in emergancies.

This is what I want to do...

Head

Supertech 1mm over sized valves(purchased)

Supertech Valve springs (purchased)

Supertech titanium retainers(purchased)

Tomei valve guides

Tomei 270 8.8mm lift cams(purchased)

Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket(purchased)

ARP 2000 head studs(purchased)

Tomei inlet and exhaust cam gears(purchased)

Bottom end

Spool rebuild kit with CP pistons

Has acl race series bearings and spool conrods etc.

Spool high volume sump

Can someone recommend an oil pump?

New water pump N1?

ARP 2000 main studs

Fuel

Bosch 2200cc injectors (purchased)

Billet fuel rail(purchased)

Walbro 460lph e85 friendly pump

Also will be going larger precision turbo but thats another story.

This list is not exhaustive and any input and opinions would be appreciated.

Are my power figures acheivable and relatively reliable?

Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

I know what your saying, I was thinking of doing a 30 bottom end but I just love a highly strung rb25.

what's wrong with a highly strung RB30? lol

it will make more power under the curve and bring any turbo on earlier than a Rb25

Aaagh. Now you have me thinking again! Lol.

Well the head is pretty much sorted I'll look into the 30 bottom end. What do you recken of the spool rb30 bottom end package??

It looks reasonable...

Would I have clearence issues between my 6boost manifold and the block??

Sorry mate, I just took it for granted that any reasonable person would have all machine work (porting and so on) done when their doing a build like this.

Thats why I didn't mention it.

Can't assume people are reasonable on here!

And I wouldn't group porting with machine work, but whatever.

I would suggest going some more modern injectors. Go top Feed ID's or something. My tuner hates that I have Nismo's, to me the car runs perfect but he reakons he could get it a whole lot sweeter with some ID's etc in there

Bosch injectors no good? I thought they were the same as ID's, they are also top feed. No?

Yes they are the same thing - 89CAL was looking at your current list and missed your shopping list.

    • 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       
    • 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).
