Boost peaks @ 16psi then drops to about 13psi. Best run was [email protected] but it was a street meet so i broke out, dialled in @ 14.3. I think it may have done a 13.99 by the end of the night if it was a test 'n'tune & could have got more runs in. STUPID me changed into 5th before the finish not thinking

(4th is good for about 180kph) so it may have ran 100mph as well, best mph was 99.8 when it was still daytime. Chiptorques dyno reckons 121kw @ tyres.

Another vote for Rob Bliss here. His shop did my exhaust about two years ago and it's still going strong :)

Only change needed was to cut the centre muffler out as I wanted more noise, and I had the guys (at a shop in Toowoomba, where I was staying at the time) weld in a couple of flanges.

Slightly OT, but they also made me a track-only pipe that eliminates the cat and exits under the passenger seat, it's really loud :P I dunno whether it makes any more power but geez can you hear the turbo spool! :D

My opinion is to fully check out the shops work. If you see an exhaust that you like ask the owner. I got stung with my IC pipes big time shop will remain nameless but they were in the list. I had to redo pipework for the following reasons I had a oddysey battery which he was aware of yet he ran pipework past the positive battery terminal (the battery terminal had cover on it) as the battery sat on side the pipework thumped against battery posts causing internal breakage. pipework rubbed on bonnet and together. pipe to throttle body blew off on dyno (dyno operater guessed who did work even when I refused to tell him who did it!)and final insult was a shit tin pod filter replacing a 1 month old K&N panel filter (which is now in ol' man's navara) cost was $600 for export paint painted pipework. My mate and I redid all of it ourselves had it HPC coated piping for around $300! Please don't fall in same trap I did!

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
