IF ANYONE WANTS FREE HORSE POWER REMOVE THE RESTRICTOR FROM THE INTAKE PIPE LEADING TO THE THE SOLENOID BOOST CONTROLLER. TO FIND IT FEEL ALONG THE LINE AND YOU WILL FEEL A LUMP OF METAL IN THE LITTLE RUBBER HOSE THAT GOES TO THE BOOST CONTROLLER GTR'S HAVE THIS AS WELL.

THE RESTRICTOR LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE ROUND METAL PIECE AITH A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE.

HAVE FUN!!

I LIVE TO DRIFT IN FRONT OF COPS

firstly take caps lock off

secondly it doesnt apply to gtst's

thirdly buy a bleed valve and up the boost properly. if you do some cowboy job like this you could cause the turbo to overboost, resulting in blown turbo and possibly engine damage from a lack of fuel/detonation.

SIKR33, can u provide some pics?? because when i boosted my series 2, i disconnected the boost restricter and fitted a pipe on without the bump in the middle.... its on most nissans and my friend did the same to his 200sx.... im sure i know what ur talking about, but if u can show some pics of what u mean that would be great!!

Boost restrictor? Nope.

And it is not the same as the GTR.

What you need is a restriction on the other side of the solenoid.I've done this and had the boost at 10psi (you still have a two step boost curve tho').

And if you want the boost to be 10psi for good then buy a cheap ass bleeder. Better still an EBC.

ADAM SERIOUSLY IF I WANT TO USE CAPS LOCK I WILL OTHERWISE MIND UR OWN BUSINESS, AND YES I AM AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC AND THIS IS A RESTRICTOR AND NO IT WONT CAUSE THE TURBO TO OVERBOOST ALL IT DOES IS FREE UP THE VACUUM LINE TO ALLOW MORE BOOST TO BE APPLIED BUT IT WILL ONLY BOOST TO 7.5PSI WITHOUT AN EXHAUST OR WITH AN EXHAUST 10 PSI . GUYS DON'T WORRY THIS WILL NOT HARM UR TURBO OR MOTOR. ITS BETTER THAN CUTTING WIRE 53

You must be one sick aircraft mechanic, did you do word processing as part of your engineering training?

Do you have anything positive to add to the discussion? If not then leave your stupid comments to yourself.

    • 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).
