Quick update.....

Had a quick touch up tune prior to Texi and after a few runs at WSID....

Full tune this coming Saturday with an extra 7-8 psi to be dialled in yet (still the 0.63 rear too).... Engine has happily done around 5,000 kms now.... :)

Full boost @ ~4k?

Bit before actually... must remember to look at it!! Used to be 3600 ish at the 15-16 psi... redline is 8,000 rpm still

But we have turned the gain down so the boost doesn't come on as hard for obvious traction/gearbox diff reasons... Il turn it back up once thats all done.... then either comes the 0.82 rear thats lying around or maybe something bigger ??? haven't decided yet.......

Although it still doesn't have any form of traction if you boot it a bit..... lol

^^^^ no.... but it would be nice :D And there would be more "epic failboat sliding into port" style photos to amuse the SAU crowd :)

Besides Dave has more, can't let him beat me!! lol

Seriously though il wait till the gain goes back up and take it from there.... the other rear is here so if I don't lose my response there is still alot more left in the turbo.... And I still have the 256 in & ex poncams.... that would make a bit of difference too if I upgraded them.....

But it is just a girls car after all....... so il prolly leave it for another 3 months till the power feels slow again.... :down:

    • 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).
