Heya you had an awesome result!!

How come you sold the GTRS?

firstly :yes the result was great, lots of fun awesome acceleration and mid range

secondly:i never made the power figure i wanted,i listened to the white elephant theories.lllol

thirdly:i got to used to the power as it is a every day car and i do a far bit of highway flying .lol

fourthly:i got the price i wanted for the gt-rs kit and my nismo 550cc injectors .

fifthly:i was debating nos kit or 3037 for the last 5 months so i picked 3037 cos i can use it everyday un-like nos.

sixthly:most of my mates have old school v8s that run 11ns and i wanted to at least give them a better run .

sevenly:my mate how has a R32gtr has relit my greed for more power well thats what i told my wife so marko its your fault...thats the story im sticking

Wait for a SAU or club "dyno day"

Just saw this thread for the first time VERY impressive and a nice selection of mods.

I too have a HKS GTRS kit; but running Tomei Poncams, head porting, std plenum and std bottom end. My a/f ratios were kept at approx. 11.5:1, to keep the engine "safe". Running 18psi i made 268.2rwkw, but your response is WAY more impressive. Could be due to the plenum, cams, fmic (i was using a truck core), but most probably to the fresh rebuild.

The engine has since blown, while i was at a race track (cyl #3 dropped compression), and i have decided to build an rb2530, which means upgrading the turbo, again. I guess i will never know what the GTRS's true potential is, but yours demonstrates it clearly. Well done mate, an excellent build and it would feel awesome to drive.

Below is a comparison between our two graphs, you will be happy:

For my new engine i have bought a new GReddy plenum, XTR 100mm fmic, Garrett GT30R turbo 500hp (smallest recommended turbo), ATI balancer and a whole lot of other parts. Unfortunately it takes my mechanic a lot longer than 3 weeks to build an engine, but we'll get there.

All the best and enjoy :D

Damn 11 months since that post and i am only getting the car back this week :)

Car was ready 4 months ago, but had to go back to be rebuilt as the block used had a pin-hole and was weeping oil.

Any built as described in my quoted post: not sure i mentioned rb30det, and using a 70mm core not the 100mm

Note: Dyno graphs for "running in" tune. Once run in car will be tuned properly with an extra 5psi, more aggressive timing, adjustments of the IN and EXH cam gears and 8000rpm rev limit.

damn, that looks awesome Al! Can't wait to see it at a SAU event- you'll have to take me for a spin - i was plently impressed with you previous setup - this ones gonna be a monster! :thumbsup:

I've got the GTS4 booked in for cam gears and a retune - but any gains will seem pathetic compared to your's! :yes:

hows my toyo t1rs going? lol

Believe it or not, they have just been fitted to the car last week :banana:

I am yet to drive with them, but all should be good, read some good reviews on them, before i bought them off you.

Thanks Phil

Next time we meet, i'll take you for a drive mate. It's totally different to the way my rb25det setup delivered power. In the dry, this is more tractable and doesn't tend to kick out violently; unless you want it too :)

Good luck with the re-tune buddy!

Thanks Sly33 & Warlord,

No build-up thread unfortunately.

Can't wait to wind it up myself. You can't see it in the pic, but at the moment i have a direct line from the comp cover to the actuator, no solenoids, restricters or boost controllers. In most setups, this normally makes the power feel doughy or laggy, but i get 1bar of boost by 2800rpm :banana: So once the engine is bedded in we'll be playing around a fair bit with the set-up and extract as much response and power as possible.

Dotted line = Power curve

Solid Line = Boost curve

      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).
