Hi all.

I want to go to wsid, but I want to break into high 12's....

At the moment Hybrid FMIC, filter, mongrel exhaust, locked diff, 4 puck clutch, fuel pump 040??, Dr Drift Ecu, r33 turbo,no interior bar two front seats. 255 rears on 17's. adj cam gears to go on (180rwkw?)

I'm curious if this will achieve a high 12, or do I have a little bit to go yet???

What are your experiences in breaking 13's???

Cheers.

My R32 when i had the RB20 in ran a few 12.9 @116mph on 225/45/17" street tyres.

It only made 188RWKW with a small hi-flow turbo, intercooler, 3" exhaust and ECU, so it CAN be done you just need another 15rwkw or so.

That MPH is MASSIVE for only 188rwkw!

Yeah, the MPH is a bit higher than my VL which had 200rwkw and ran 12.6@112MPH.

Ill try and get the timeslip up, my car was car# 600, i cant find the actual 12.9 with 116mph, but here is a 12.9 sec slip and one when i started pulling 116mph.

sky30, thats a brilliant result

the best i managed was 13.1 @ 108mph with 225/50/16 street tyres and standard suspension. That was on about my 8th run of the day.

i was making 207rwkw with a hks2530 and ~1.25bar

but sky30's time makes my efforts look dismal!

173rwkw = 13.3@106mph (2.3 60ft) on 205 tyres R33 gtst. 33 deg ambient.

Dyno numbers don't tell you everything. I recently thought of tracking the time over the x axis for rpm. This way you can track the accelleration times under load in each gear. This will directly translate to a relative 1/4 mile prediction as things like rotational mass greatly affect accelleration and can be shown using this measurement, without it you can't see the benifit. The physical weight of the car and areodynamics are then the only factors left to associate.

Next time you go to the dyno get your stop watch out and see how long it takes to make the power. Bolt in a lightweight flywheel or lighter rims, change the diff ratio and see just how big an influence these things can have.

    • 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).
