Here's a heads-up to ACT SAU'ers chasing an elusive R34 GTR RB26DETT.I have it on very good authority that this engine has less than 10,000 genuine kilometers on it(in RB speak-it's only just broken in...).Those in the know will already recognise the R34 spec' engine as a superior RB series to what I have in my car and any of the R33 GTR's.If you're not up to speed,the 34 RB26DETT had different lift and duration on the factory "bumpsticks"-which is one of the reasons why 34's have more Kw and torque straight out of the box over other GTR engines.You can't retro fit these cams to earlier engines;the head had a totally different casting to make the camshafts fit.Plus the 34 block has the same strenghtening "webbing" that the fabled N1 blocks have:much better strength once you start to lean on these engines.This particular engine is a long motor:no turbos or plenum. Everything else is there,as far as I remember. The other bonus,and a reason why this particular RB is not in the normal "For Sale" section(yet...)is that it's here in Canberra right now!It's a good mate's engine,and he's not asking the world for it(believe me,if I had the funds available,you lot wouldn't be reading this now!).Whilst the engine is easily viewable,I don't need a million wannabe engine tuners wasting his time;if you're SERIOUSLY considering the best of the RB26's,drop me a PM and I'll put you onto him.The offer is there:those wise enough to know what this thing is better get scooting!!

Sounds good but read the rules re. posting a price. As Prank would say, this is not an auction...:D

Cheers

You're right Ken:it's not an auction.It's first in,best dressed.I'm not the seller,I just hold his mobile number's privacy in enough regard not to splash it around to all and sundry. He really should join the forums,but I'm "it" until then...

    • 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).
