Just wanted to know if the GReddy air diversion plate made for the GTR also fitted the GTS-t. In particular I'm talking about the BCNR33, obviosuly there are differences in the body, however I am not totally sure they extend to the radiator support panel. Can anyone help?

I think you will find they are model specific.

The BCNR33 panel (If anything like the ARC version) will bolt to the front of the radiator support panel then join to the top of the front grill on each side.

Well through my business I will try and do a dyno test with one on and off. I'm very keen to dispell and prove quite a few performance tuning myths

that will be greatful if could do that for us all..

very keen to find out the difference..

dyno run? i dont think they claim any power benefit. all they do is (possibly) direct more air through the radiator and aid in cooling slightly. plus neaten up the look of the engine bay a bit. that's it. dyno test will be a waste of your time.

Yes your right with performance gains, but I was thinking more of monitoring engine temperatures in a reproduceable environment (dyno fan and cruising speed), which is quite hard to do with a whizz down the street and looking at your temp gauge.

should have got one in a groub buy that bassy organised, mine should be arriving about now, and i kknew it didnt do power gains but it will help alot with the cooling which is just as important, and it covers up a big gap in the front which the panel makes it look alot neater

ben...

I was mainly sourcing info for a customer.

Had a look at your thread and wondering if you have a template to suit the R33 trust front bar?

There is the possibility that I can make these designs (or coat them) in carbon fibre for those interested?

Fact is air is lazy, it will always travel the path of least resistance. Any gaps above the radiator, and you will lose air through it. The diversion plates seal off all the gaps so the air coming in has nowhere to go but through the radiator, thus helping with cooling. No rice about it, they were designed to do a specific job and they do it well.

Fact is people will buy anything they think they can talk up to their mates or even worse actually think works to any measurable amount themselves.

Next u will be telling me neons streamline the air under your car?

Or that tubro zet meant for a N/A car you put in your intake pipe has take a whole second off you 1/4 mile??

Buy it if u think it looks nice, but you will notice no difference in water temps etc.

BTW there is no gap above the radiator, it is sealed by the rubber than runs along the top of its support, Nissan aint stupid

When you guys get them and test them i would love to be proven wrong, these are after all only my idle thoughts.

Peace

    • 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.
    • 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
