Ok thanks. What sort of adaptor plate? See I have a Trust 550PS single turbo kit(manifold/turbo/dump/front) that I want to use on a R33GTR but as I said was meant for a RB25 so is the adaptor plate an easier/less expensive/reliable option than getting a custom manifold made?

Why not just get the proper kit.

Most Trust turbo kits for RB25 wont even go near the potential of what you could do with a proper GTR kit. Im guessing its something like a TD06-25G kit? If its T67 or larger then your cooking with gas. But from what ive seen of late TD07's are the rage on 26's in jap land.

Sell the manifold and get one fabbed up or buy an off the shelf replacement. Trust manifolds are alright quality and fetch quite a high price simply becasue of their name so you shouldnt have too much trouble moving it

Yes a TD06-25G kit, its going on the R33GTR I'm importing. I don't want more than 300awkw so not after a big single. What do you meaning cooking with gas?

This turbo should be quite responsive for a RB26 and more reliable than factory turbos. Other than that I want to keep everything as stock as possible, maybe a fmic and injectors.

I might sell trust manifold as ardie suggested if its an easier option, before then I would like to find out more about the adaptor option.

so how does everyone think of this turbo on a GTR?

Have a look at that.

Im sure you can get $500 for you trust manifold easily. Once sold get one of those.

Adaptor plates work, however.... i would rather have the right manifold.

    • 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).
