did you have impressive resaults?

Nothing super impressive. Improvement though nevertheless. Standard RB26DETT except pods and exhaust, with powerfc now getting just under 220 kw at all 4 wheels.

Main reason for getting it done was to sort out the engine cutting out under boost which it was doing after coming back from another workshop where it had the factory ECU tuned........ :rolleyes:

But yeah, good experience with it, the only drama was waiting a bit longer than expected for the pfc to arrive, but saying that due to their rareness etc. waiting 5 days in the end wasn't so bad. :(

I have to say that all the above mentioned workshops are all pretty good, however in saying that you will always find one bad experience for every good one. Every workshop gets equal amounts of praise and bagging. I have to say tho, all these guys mentioned are all pretty good in my eyes.
I have heard of a few really bad experiences with Allstar and as a result i wouldnt let them tune my moped (not that i have one)

My point exactlly... (Not flaming you in any way 'Series 5' just saying thats my point)

My 2 cents, Allstar give great value and quality for price... I have used Richard to tun my pfc and for the money I could not be happier, that said Matt Spry has also had a crack at my pfc and he is equally impressive... Horses for courses... Richard is 5km down the road for me as where Matt is over 150km's...

Once again, like I said for every good experience you hear you will find a bad one... Its important to realise to make your own mind up about people and their attitudes and or services offered... Go and see a workshop with yoru own eyes and talk to the owner or managers and see for yourself how helpful they are and have a good look around the shop at the type of cars they are working on and that should give you a good idea of what they can do...

IE. You would not take you Moped to a performance dealer, you would go to a performance shop like the ones mentioned in this thread.

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
