Good Day All,

First off, I wanted to say thank you for all of the information Ive gathered to help me get on a maintenance schedule to all of the information Ill continue to benefit from.

I am about 2 months into ownership of my 96 S2 GTS25T and am new to the chassis/motor. I have quite a bit of maintenance and modification experience, notably 7 years of Z33 ownership including an ongoing LS-turbo project, a few Subarus, and two Hondas. 
 

You all have helped me select a motor oil and trans fluid, get LEDs into my gauge cluster, and create a general modification plan for my car and I look forward to interacting with you all and continuing to learn. Sorry in advance for any questions that seem mindless. Dropping a few pics of my cars.

A fraction of the way into the project.

Hi and welcome! 

The R33 looks pretty clean. Its unusual to see a Gtst in the States (at least for me) most of the Skylines seem to be GTRs.

Zed looks good, I dig the calipers - are they just the factory brembos?

:welcome:

Thanks! Theyre starting to come over. We just started getting the S2s, S1s have been here for awhile. With prices how they are, Im sure importers are profiting more from bringing the GTRs over instead.

And those are powdercoated Akebonos off the Z34! Havent gotten around to fitting them yet. Moving and buying the Skyline hasnt helped 😅

    • 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
