Gah shouldnt have gone, all i could think about from after my run until now is what i need to do/spend in order to get more power and beat Leighs Forester haha.

142.2kW :)

On the topic of redemption, what are some good starts for upgrades, goal is set at 200kW by the next dyno day.

Cejay warned me about this at the Shannons Wheels haha "Lets see how long you leave it stock"

Was a lot of fun though, had to head off early though to get some things done in canberra before heading back to work so probably missed some good runs, dam work :X

The day was a great success with $110 raised on the day. With the Generous donation of $50 on Friday night and the $30 Ladybytes has, we now have $190.

Please post your dyno sheets and mods in the appropriate forced induction thread, even if stock they help others gauge their cars performance.

Thank you everyone for coming out and especially to FRINK for bringing so many friends.

Big props to a20089 for organising the day I thought it went very well and it has a much more group/social feeling to it than other dyno areas having that big screen. Plus I must say I was very impressed with the way Ultimate tunes handled the day as well... they had more than enough staff on hand, were happy to explain exactly what everything meant and even customised my dyno run when I asked them too so thanks Christian and the boys. Let me know when you can do some work with 07 XT foresters :P

Also i know it's not a skyline but here is my dyno sheet :P

Thanks for a well organised day. Yeah, there sure were plenty of people looking after each run, which was nice. I'm pretty (well, very) happy with how my car went. I should thank Julian (widebody32) for getting it in its current shape!

It was good to meet you John, and to catch up with Ben (Sl33py).

Even though I couldn't stick around for the whole day yeah was great fun! Thanks John/a20089. as Adam said, good to catch up with the people we've met previously, and meet new ppl - Luke et al. Yeah the big screen made it more social, instead of cramming in and craning your neck to see a tiny CRT on a desk :P Wish my car was ready, but at any rate I'll definitely go back there for a run when it is. Very nice setup at Ultimate Tunes.

Also good to see that (assuming my car runs as it did last time), it's pretty healthy compared to other R33s :P Hope those who can will post their runs as suggested above!

The R31 was impressive (think Jester was suprised as well from his response "WTF is THAT??!" hahah), a20089 - did you catch the dyno guys choking with all the fuel in the room? hahaha And what was emblem on the front of the Liberty that looked like and L and then another upside down L underneath it? Some japanese badge?

Time for an avatar change Adam? heheh - thanks for the quick spin!

Edit: haha changed your avatar before I could correct my typo :D

haha dam, all i wanted was to just beat yours and you out did me by 4kW

I'll get you next time, the bug is implanted now :P

And, just like that, my car is now up for sale (much to sl33py's dismay I'm sure).

Here's the link for anyone interested in seeing the dyno sheet, if not the rest.

I'm doing it a little sooner than I'd imagined.. and I'm feeling pretty crap right about now; but who knows, maybe I won't get any bites and I can keep it a while longer :(

I figured I'd try and let go of it while the going was good. Maybe I'll actually be able to start saving again!

Haha.. oh well, it's a decision we all have to make sooner or later. I plan to drive mine until fossil fuels become illegal :( Having said that, only 20 minutes ago, I just found out my steering rack is munted and needs reconditioning/fixing, and it's tie rod ends are buggered as well. Another 1k into the black hole!

Damn, sorry to hear that. Bloody cars! :(

Yep, of all the cars, mine pumped the most fumes. It was like a 80's dance party with dirty smoke.

The emblem is some special one, unsure what is was exactly, I'll have to ask Raymond.

Hate to hear you need more repairs. I guess I'm happy to live with a dirty rear end if the rest of the car doesn't break down.

It shouldn't cost anywhere near that for reco rack and tie rod ends.

If you want a quote i can find out tomorrow from Active.

Gday widebody32: From memory of the phone call - it's 400 to reco the rack, but 700 if the pinion is buggered, or something about leaking (which he suspects), and 120 for each tie rod end. I think that's fitted.

    • 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).
