Every speed limit is within reach in a matter of seconds.

You couldn't be more wrong! If you're a straight line hero sure an evo may be "boring" but if you like cornering at speeds that boggle your mind and g forces that have your face stuck to window it NEV

If it hooks up in 1st then thats the definition of perfectly fine for the street.. no ones forcing you to go WOT through school zones The more power you have, usually the more respect for the vehicle

getting 300kW to the ground in RWD format is easy - I'm not sure why everyone makes such a big deal out of getting it down.. first thing is to get rid of that VLSD, then run some decent shocks and NOT the stiffest spring on the market, use some pineapples and offset the subframe a little, get some camber arms and lastly some decent tyres.. avoid brands such as Wanali, Ling Long, Triangle, Rotolla, etc. and you've got a car that will bite/squat/launch.

this all of this

Everyone cheats out on tyres and then bitches that can't get traction

I do agree, I've felt it in 2WD with good pilot sports and that alone was a decent difference, I guess perhaps what i'm trying to say is the 4WD will be more forgiving without being fully setup suspension wise and will let you get away with stuff that you couldnt get away with in 2WD. But yeh, the biggest thing is cheaping out on the handling mods. I did too - not going to deny it - when your in your teens/early twenties and money is tight you could spend money for power or on handling and I reckon alot would choose power.

Well i will be running e85 when i want to run higher power i think the ideal power range after all this feed back will be 250 to 300kw.

If i want more power ill just go buy a gtr so give me a year or so will buy a gtr lol

300rwkw can drive like a factory car these days, in fact a lot of factory performance cars come with over 300 of the showroom floor, the hsv models and fpv models both do, along with most of the euro cars and

yeah they also come with all sorts of fancy electronic gizmos to assure that power gets to the ground, unlike a 93 gtst that has an LSd diff and thats about ti

Do this!

Buy a hypergear SS1PU put it on E85

You will be making 250rwkw on low boost and 300rwkw on high boost.

This is the exact setup I'm going to be running on my R34.

Currently the SS1PU in my r33 with just normal pump fuel makes 21psi by 3500rpm and that's an easily usable 250rwkw for the street.

as has been said above, once they are modified they usually turn themselves off and if people put decent tyres and not the cheapest they can find , then a car with 300 will grip up nicely

I think GTRs are going to be a bit more expensive to live with than Evos and harder to work on .

People are right on the weight/capacity thing in later performance cars and XR6s are a prime example . Getting a smooth flexible 300 engine wasps from a Typehoon is really easy in todays emissions/consumption world . They're going to make lots more torque off boost and not need anything like the state of tune that an RB25's going to take to achieve it .

They're going to be able to pull taller gearing and have higher speeds in the gears which IMO is lacking in a Skyline 1st to 4th .

Just think what a GTS25T would have been like with an RB30 and around 250 Kw , could have had a 3.7 or 3.9 diff and a taller 1st gear . The Typhoon engine has variable cam timing on one if not both cams and that makes a difference too . Throw that at a 250 engine Kw RB30DET and it would be really smooth and flexible with todays control electronics and injectors .

I don't know if the rear suspension would be that different in a retro R33 but you can be sure it wouldn't have 16 inch wheels and I assume 225 tyres or whatever they had standard . The diff would possibly have had a Torsen - did later GTts have those ?

My latest rear tyres are Pilot Sport 2s in 255 40 17s and while I don't hoon around they feel better planted than the 245 45 PS3s they replaced . If I was going inside the diff I'd want a taller ratio and a real LSD of some kind , taller diff for a bit more speed in the lower gears particularly that uselessly low 1st .

I run cradle bushes and the SK Whiteline Bilstein suspension with fresh dampers .

OT I know but is there a 3.9 that bolts into a non ABS GTS25T , maybe something from an S14 ?

This! And the right foot can also control boost!

What? Heresy! Are you saying I just wasted my money installing my EBC? Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Although, to be fair, my right foot cannot increase boost above the wastegate setting, no matter how hard I push down.

Too many people here are too serious about "traction" and "hooking up", its boring...

Lets face it a 300kw car is a weapon regarldess of how good or crappy your tyres are...

I ahd wheels for different occasions, I had some good rubber...and I had pretty ordinary rubber....

And on the street, it was more fun with crapper tyres, cause you could effortlessly do skids everywhere...

Sure it wasn't as fast, but it was more fun ..And I'm not Brian O'conner racing for slips, I have nothing to prove to anyone..

I'm just a boy with a toy that likes to play :D

^^agreed, but its more than a weapon, its angry, raw, loose animal that's almost outa control, in the 4wd you could probably eat your Macca's in one hand safely, in the skyline you'd spill your coke. lol

Haha come on you know what I mean!

You can easily have your boost controller set to 20psi and take off with 10psi from the lights if you want.

      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).
