That Yellow R33 GTSt did a good run on the dyno. I think it was around 260Hp. I still can't get over that turbo Barina at 170 odd at the front wheels... WHY.

I reckon it was too loud. I tried to have a conversation with the head of the Soarer's club and we ended up yelling at each other and finally gave up!

260 is that all??? mine has done 240 at 10psi and was expecting 270hp after mods and 12psi. Even if mine was At 270 i wasn't going to put my car on the dyno as i was a bit embarrased what i was up against. the 34GTR and i thought that yellow one was doing mid 300Hp's.....I was wrong on that one

R32GTR that was there pulled only 220 at the REARS not all 4's!!! Hmmm something wrong there maybe needs to be tuned correctly??.....!!

After hearing all that maybe i could have had a dyno run...???

looking at some of the results from the dyno it looked like it was reading low but in the same proportions as it would if all the cars went on other dyno.

but 220HP@wheels is about 220KW@engine guestimatedly, plus the purple GTR was stock.

I ran one of my old GTR's on PSI's dyno and got 220 at all four with similar mods to Skyes 32 ( zorst, pods ,boost restrictor removed ) . Doesn't sound much but they do put it ALL to the ground well.

Some of the guy's there did say the dyno was reading hard for them and were disappointed with some of the numbers.

HEHEHE maybe they aren't used to true readings:lol:

With the GTR if they disable the front wheels and have just the rear wheels then should the reading be higher? I here that there is more of a HP loss with 4WD. With the GTR it only had it's rear wheels spinning and still got 220rwhp i was thinking of a bit more than that thats all. I thinnk it represented some Mad enhancements group.....Hmmmmm didn't look all that MAD to me..... :D

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      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.

      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
