Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, but have had my R33 GTR for around 8 years now.

Been down the same track as most of us have gone down. More boost, gasket fail and a rebuild with all the norm goodies, forge pistons new Tommie water pump and water pump, extended sump GTSS = 330KW ATW.

I was always one to change my own oil, change plugs and alike. Don't get me wrong I am no a grade mechanic but happy to keep cost down and a bit of hands on is always good.

Anyway, along the road I have come across a few tuners/workshops that would like to take on all the aspects of the car.

I got my car serviced and ready to take it way for the weekend and a good thump out of town. As soon as I put my foot into the car it started missing. I thought plugs, but it was not that long ago that I had them changed. I remembered that I had a set of plugs in the draw from when my car was running 260kw with stock turbos. I remember when I had the car original tuned seven years ago the tuner advised that a BCPR6ES was OK for my car on the street but I would need a BCPR7ES if I was to add more boost.

I found the plugs BCPR6ES so I started taking all the plugs out & they did not look to bad. At a closer inspection they were a part number that I did not recognize BKR6E. I put my plugs in and the car is running fine.

Sorry for elaborating for so long, my question is,

BCPR6ES is ok at low boost due to heat rating?

BCPR7ES high boost, track due to heat rating?

BKR6E is for a RB25 not a RB26?

Thanks

    • 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
