Hey everyone :P

This is a very nice kit from HKS. However there is one thing im not 100% sure on which path to take.

The kit comes complete with everything you need to install the new dump pipes which is great. In saying that, they include special dividers that are mean't to bolt onto the new dumps themselves to separate exhaust flow from the turbine wheel and the wastegate flap. I understand that will make the most of the split pipes. The new Garrett 2860r-5 (707160-5005) turbos that i bought include a kind of 3/4 length divider built into the turbine housing. Whereas the stock turbos have nothing built in.

So is there any advantage to grinding the housing to fit the HKS dividers supplied with the kit? Or will the dividers that are cast into the turbine housings do just as good job? The only reason im really asking is because the ones cast into the housings are like i said kind of 3/4 of the length of the HKS ones. Check out the pics and you will see what i mean.

Many thanks in advance guys :mad:

Ive since asked around a couple of places and they say the casting in the housing on the new garrett turbos is what garrett found worked best. Still not 100% sure if its ideal when you are using a split dump pipe? Apparently there is little advantage to machining out the cast divider and replacing it with the ones supplied with the HKS kit.

Can anyone else confirm this?

yes use the garretts...dont modify housing. As you can see it allows the trailing edge of the gas flow to use the waste gate pipe when flap is shut...but will shield main turbine exit path when wastegate flap opens.

      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.

      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).
