Nice gtr. Also know the feeling of choosing a "value". Spent 20k in the last 7 months getting my e85 25det conversion good in my 32. have it advertised at 10k and still no interest.. hard market out there. So many people don't realize how expensive it is to stick with good brands and $$ to have it installed properly

Inbox cleared out so should work now.

Car has done a 1.05 flat at wakefield...

If the link doesn't work then just type 33 gtr testing wakefield in the YouTube search box.

The car underwent some large improvements since that video. The front LSD was fitted, rear diff redone with nismo internals, brake bias adjuster installed which made the car far more balanced under heavy braking, and shorter gearing installed with the 4.375's. I've also had the ruzic controller II fitted but have not been on the track since that's been in the car. I'm told they make a noticeable difference to corner exit speed.

Boz complained that the tyres were rooted and fresh ones could have been worth somewhere between a half and full second a lap.

What a Beast!

Vid at 3:56, looks like a Pigeon, if it was, wonder if it survived :).

Good on ya mite, good to see the dormant GTR bug is returning.

I was going to sell mine once but luckily no one wanted to pay 50K for a 120k (purchase + mods) car. I saw the light. Always enjoy driving it and will continue to do so till they ban hydrocarbons.

Seriously you should just get a larger garage or a 4 post lift.

All the best with it.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
