have you got pictures of it installed?

you replaced the std one with the aftermarket one and hooked up the air line from the plenum to the BOV?

was it a plumb back type or atmo? if atmo make sure you block the std BOV's return pipe

its a atmo.. i bolted on the adapter... then clamped on the bov to the adapter.. then i clamped on the thin pipe from the engine to the bov.. the other pipe i just block off with some tape as i was just checking to see if it worked and i didnt have anythin else to use.. should i remove that whole pipe and block it off where it starts? and if so should i use a grommet or what? is this all i have to do or am i doing something wrong?

i wil try and get a pic of what i did but i need to get a hold of a digi camera first as mine got lost.

doesnt matter where the pipe is blocked off, as long as it is air tight....

try lossening any adjustment on the BOV , do you know that it worked before you got it, it might be faulty

i bought it brand new... so it should work.. i wil try it again tomorow... whats a good thing to use to block of the hole? grommets? and does it matter if your car is auto or manual?

doesnt matter which transmission you use

block teh hole, well that depends on where you do it, if you block it at the end of the steel pipe, then pop down to clark rubber and use a rubber chair leg stopper that fits, then just hose clamp it on.

yeah looks correct, there looks to be a gasket under that adapter.. it has a hole in the middle right? just to state the obvious :laugh:

if that has a twist top for adjustment, loosen it off as it might be too tight for the boost your running.

have you tried taking the bov off and pushing the plunger up to make sure it works?

also, not too familiar with rb20s but is the vacuum hose you have it connected to actually a vacuum hose? is it connected to the intake manifold?

gasket has a hole.. and im prity sure its all connected right.. i have tried it with the pipe blocked of.. but all i used was some tape as i has nothing else at the time.. the blue hose is just a silicon hose that i got from a kit.. i can twist the end of my BOV to hard or soft.. should it be on hard or soft for a r32 standard boost?

    • 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).
