new motor is built, just a set of CP forged piston's and some Nismo rod's, Tomei sump baffle, Kelford cam's, OS giken cam gear's,

OS giken twin plate clutch and moly flywheel, still need to decide ona fuel rail and injector size

Have removed engine and box, also complete front suspention and x-member, and have stripped to engine bay of everything,

and it's in bare metal ready for a little bit of seam welding here and there, then it's paint time have picked a colour but i not letting

the cat out of the bag on that one....:rolleyes:

here are a few pic's,

Hey zoidbergmerc yeah its a 26 out of a 94 model Vspec1 but it had the longer crank in it and i just got a basic budget reco (as budget as you can anyway) but its basically got Ross forged pistons, nitto rods, ACL bearings, oil restrictors, external oil drain, hi octane sump extension, basic head reco with heavy duty valve springs for poncams later on etc. Really just a full refresh with no heavy machining or over the top parts. I figured if i went all out on it and something went wrong then i would'nt have the money to do it again so i just tried to get away with as much as possible while fixing the factory probs and making it more reliable. I mean nissan knew what they were doing and stock these engines are capable of decent power so with a few new bits it should do what i want for as long as i want well hopefully anyway lol. I would get some pics up but im really struggling to do that ive got them off my iphone and onto picasa3 but i cant seem to get them onto SAU so if anyones got any tips they'd be much appreciated.

Hey mate, where did u get ur engine work done? Wot power r u hoping to make? And wot fuel system r u running?

Hey I pulled the engine out myself but my mate works at Tas Engine Reco in Hobart so they did all the work. I'm putting Garrett -5s on it so I'm hoping for around 340-380kw obviously closer to 380 would be better lol but I guess it all depends on the tuner it should be good for 400 in theory but you know how things vary. As for fuel system I haven't got anything sorted out yet but I have removed all my hicas stuff apart from the hard lines from the front to back and I've heard something about converting them to fuel feed lines cause they're bigger than the factory ones or something like that but I'll work it out. Other than that just a decent intank feeding a surge tank with an external feeding the injectors havent looked at any brands yet. My mate got I think it's siemens injectors in a kit with a rail reg and lines pretty cheap through his work on his 25 and they seem to do the job well. So I'll probably go with those. But really at the moment just a saving game lol. It's true GTR owners are all poor aren't they lol.

    • 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).
