I thought he just stripped them to sell for kebabs and kept the spicey shit for himself to build ironic LeMons cars?

 

Have you used the oil cap breather before fatz?

Looked like a good stop gap measure.

Going off topic here but you obviously track your gtr's unlike most owners.

What brakes are going on this thing? 

Simple setup

r35 front with dba rotors and winmax pads 380mm

rear are 6 piston brembo on a Hemi 300c 350mm dba rotor Winmax pads 

and having played brakes on a lot of gtr I went with a PE engineering full pedal box with adjustability

Yea had it on my last r33 did 6 years of track days (10-20 a year)

keep the oil cap connection open and put a one way valve on your catch can drain back

but I also run a external catch can scavenge pump (weldon external dry sump pump) which sucks the can dry over 6k rpm( this is just for extra f**k you oil control)

I've been looking at dry sump for my new motor  but with what I've learned froim tracking my old one and just general research I reckon I can setup a decent enough wet sump for little $$ My current setup is a mess of hoses but worked ,all rocker vents and sump into baffled, vented can with a sump drain. New motor shouldn't breath as heavy, will have bigger sump with some breather ports welded on etc. 

Got pics of this external scavenge setup? Belt driven or elec.

So much RB wisdom in one post.

Gtrs are for discussing whos oem parts are the cleanest now 

Hey I take offence at that! Oh no wait... totally me... (only cause i can normally win!)  ?

Seeing a bit of back and forth/pissing contest between 2 of my local car club guys, 280rwkw silvia and over 500awkw GT-R, both running the same times at winton (silvia now fractionally faster, both in the 1m27s bracket) both on the same slicks.

GT-R guy reckons he needs bulk coin to go any faster, Silvia guy just lunched his LS and is going to actually build one for something more than 280rwkw and reckons there's more lap time to be had easily.

I love GT-Rs, but are they really a good track platform? Heart says yes, brain says no :(

    • 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
