pics up tonight. this car is fkn amazing. bitch of a thing to drive (Twin plate clutch + short shift kit == rough), but its soooo worth it :)

the twin plate and short shifter in my old car were the best mods it had! you will get used to it..and do you revmatch on down shifts?? That makes it alot smoother

atm i usually just cheat.. break for a bit, then blip the throttle while i change then start breaking again - its a lot smoother when i do that. gonna start training myself to heel toe. im very happy.. car is just insane to drive..... atm ive only been game to use low boost (~450awhp).. and that still feels too fast... high boost is ~ 550awhp.. gonna be taking it easy for next few weeks.... i still get speed giggles after giving it a squirt.. its just insane.

dude that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice

ihateu now gtfo and drive that shit

well, if you had foot to the floor from a 2500rpm start, it prob wont really hit boost till about 4000rpm.. full before 5000, but its not designed to be driven down low.. anything below 2000rpm and the car doesnt like it. im usually changing gears at ~3500 to drive smoothly. if you started off at 3500-4000 it still takes a couple of seconds to spool up, but its not too bad for a single.. T04Z is a good turbo.

btw when i say full, i mean low boost setting only.. high boost will obviously add a bit more spool time.. car revs out to 8800.. and only thing stopping it from going further is the crank.. forged crank and it would rev to 10k prob.

current list of things to do:

- raise car ~15mm (currently front lip sits 90mm off ground)

- plum back screamer pipe and add a cat (well.. something that looks like a cat anyway :))

- touch up tune @ Matt Spry's

- QR racedays :)

how good are screamers :)

you dont happen to know who did the roadworthy on this car do you?? Sounds like they may be useful to me over the next few weeks!

i still get speed giggles after giving it a squirt.. its just insane.

:(

sweet looking car!

Ditto :(

remember to always double the clutch!!!!!

"You amost had me, you never had me, you never had your car"

Sorry, F&F quote time again... :D

Car looks nice, few questions but

Does it have a back seat or rear interia or was it bought with the cage in and the mod plate for the cage???

Hey whats down on the mod plate in terms of codes??? Cause i notice there is no drivers airbag either ands it said it was a series 3 right...???

So I assume that the mod plate is for the 2 seater mod (rollcage in other words) and for the removal of the air bag from the drivers side.

    • 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).
