sorry blitz i relize after reading you post agai that you were sticking up for me... Thanks mate...

I had a chat to the boys at work today about the idea... Now im thinking i should do it...

I should try and get 300rwkw from a rb25 for 6k plus turbo... I reckon it can be done (dont know how reliable it would be, LOL). Of course labour is nil cost for me as id do it all myself. But i dod need the car on a daily basis so i cant do it straight away. But i reckon a 3 week holiday will cover it inbetween cans... lol But i guess to use my car for example id be cheating cause im already almost there. Id just have to do turbo and install pfc and id be done... So 6k would pay for that no worries...

anything can be done dude, you just really need to watch every step, test the strength and reliability of each part, and work the weakest link. I'd love to do it, but for me, there really ARE budget constraints ;)

forgies a must (most of this has been established), rods -> GT-R ones are prolly a cheaper option?; cam timing, hi flow turbo, and basic support systems like exhaust, FMIC, fuel supply etc.

It's gonna be tight-ish, but possible.

A price hunt needs to be done, i'd get one started now, but boy am i buggered

www.xspeed.com.au got a skyline with stock internals running 400hp.

with your 5k budget id go for a gt-rs turbo and a fuel system upgrade. then talk to the best tuner in your town and see what ecu he knows best.

friend of mine just fitted this in his r34 gtt. will let u know how it goes when its tuned

Thank's guys, your feedback and knowledge has shown me what kind of a goof i am.  I did forget to mention the car was going to be for daily driving as well, and after reading all your posts, its not going to be much fun for driving and on the pocket.

Ok, i want 250rwkw nothing more.  Would the 2530 or 2540 be a good choice, or are there problems with them too (for everyday driving).  How about a TD05 25G - i think that will be good for every day driving, and should get around 250kw.

What kind of a turbo would be good for the above power, and everyday driving.

I already have the clutch to handle that power, i have the HKS FMIC, i have a hi-flowed turbo (but doubt it will get more than 210rwkw).  I have a car coming down which has an oil cooler and a few other little goodies.  I'll take them off and put it all on this car.  Slowly getting there guys : )

just read this. 210rwkw + cams = ;)

Garret 30-40 Turbo + Piping - $4000

jsut for reference, shopping around will net you a GT30 for half that

i paid $2200, if i could wait 4 months it would have been $2000, but i couldnt wait that long ;)

    • 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
