Hi my name is Tyler, i have found myself coming to SAU quite often recently and thought i should sign up. i have always loved skylines and basically anything Nissan. i have recently bought myself a 1998 R33 skyline GTS and made it my project. i am currently only a Learner driver and am a few months off of my p plates. We all know what that means!!! its N/A, but i love it anyway.

I don't know if I will turbo the one I own. When I'm able to I will probably sell the r33 and try and get a turbocharged r34, But that's a couple years away. As for future mods on the current one, due to me only being a learner driver, soon too be p plater, any performance enhancing mods are a no no. And visually the car already has vented widebody front guards.  17inch Sparco racing ns-ll pythons. And some type of aftermarket skirts and front bumper. But the front bumper has been damaged and really brings down the look of the car. So I'm looking at putting a nismo 400r front bumper on it. And thanks for the welcome Dan!

Not sure if I'm allowed to bring this post back up as I've already introduced myself, but I just realised that I never had any photos of the car in my first post so I just wanted to do a little before and after to show what's happened to my 33 since the first post up until now 4 years later.13835786_544526992399150_110762707_o.thumb.jpg.bea40cd3f06b1da91d456496ee83a787.jpgIMAG0207.thumb.jpg.a60cb5eb828ec22b753882323f683eaf.jpg2038344988_IMG20191213204038edited.thumb.jpg.5c6587dc201dfdd9cd95abaedb50b1dc.jpgIMG20191213203429.thumb.jpg.ae35b6bd57add76686245beb21026f9c.jpg

Thanks man! Yeah i absolutely love the thing to bits and don't think ill get rid of it once i can go turbo since ive already done so much work to it. Im actually going to build the 25DE in it, ive had alot of inspiration from some old jap tuning house builds from back in the day and even some new ones like GTR Proshop Garage Active's sequential RB30DE R32 GTR that they built. Won't be pulling massive numbers but it'll be cool nonetheless.

Nice one! Sounds like you have a plan for it. Do what you want to do and don't let anybody give you shit for it.

BTW this is one of my fave engines ever, an RB26DE with trumpets. Just so awesome but broke the brain's of all the RB26 purists.

Can't agree more, trumpets on RB's is somthing that needs to be done more often, they look and sound amazing. Its what i plan to do on mine and i can't wait for it all to come togeather. Also love those N/A RB 240z's they are a work of art that one especially.

    • 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).
