i had 230 ish and that was wheelspin delux!

no point going > 250 ish without awd imho

good luck! let us know how it goes!

its partly throttle control, brand of tyre, and width of tyre

Cubes has 300 and can get enough traction

and now i have 255x17x40 mine doesn't brake traction nowhere near as much

I must admit i might have to sus out my suspension, beacause its not liking grip in first even with 265 Hankook V8RS rubber and 200rwkw. Wheel spin is fun tho! :D

268rwkw I had no issues getting the power down once I dropped on a set of better tyres.

300rwkw is a little harder but it still hooks up well and is quicker up and rolling even when it is spinning/bucking around a little than when it was hooking up and making 268rwkw.

Low profiles = FTL if you want to get the power to hook up. You need preferably 16" with a bit of a side wall or at the very most 17" no more.

I ran around on a set of wide 18's and they were useless for straight line grip compared to the 16's.

Gt35r with a .63 rear, should see a good kick in the back about 4k...laggy i know but i've had a responsive turbo, now im wanna pull some good power and see what that brings.

Can i ask what size and what brand your using joel? I'm keen to put stockies back on it for a bit.

yeah, you got a point.

i had 19s with 245/35 s, not really a good choice in tyre/size.

i learnt my lesson in modding the 33, one of which, BUY JAP RIMS!:cheers:

oh, and thrttle control? whats that? :D

jks

yeah alot of people assume the bigger the tyre the more grip! but as cubes said it's not the case! i don't know if anyone agrees with me but the standard suspension seems to have the most grip off the line! has something to do with weight transfer i think

Edited by nos man

It's a catch 22 sometimes, Squat is good for weight transfer and dampens the initial bang of the driveline, but squat can also induce excessive camber which can leave less tyre off the road. Having softer, larger walled tyres means the tyre doesn't follow the course of the squat as much leaving more tyre on the road. Low pro's are fantastic for the hills for turn in but wack for straight line especially in a 2wd. (as said previously)

hence why we used to run 90/10 shocks on the front & Mickey Thompsons on the rear for drag racing back in the day

yep thats why i have gone to stock wheels but with good tyres, i used to 19's with 265's on the back and they just wouldnt give traction, i have red many of articles in magazines wihch were written by Martin Donnin stating standard suspension is the best for the drag strip, so thats why i have kept mine in so im hoping my new power will be more traction friendly

Very much looking forward to seeing your car back on the road when you get back dan.

mm good result!

gotta be happy with that!

fun times ahead!

Yeah thanks car feels excellent, very smooth linear power. Second gets a bit of a skip along when it comes on to boost. :D

Nice...

Now for some cams to pick up ~20-25rwkw on the same boost and then 2-3psi more boost and you should get damn close to cracking 300rwkw. :D

Cheers Cubes.

Nice and safe on the Standard bottom end at the moment. It's good to know theres still more left in it if need be down the track.

Impressive results on a mainline dyno there Lee, you should see 265-270 on a DD machine.

Im going back to the drawing board, Wastegate was WIDE open but still pumping close to 20+psi. So ive decided to Go external Gate modded onto my DMAX manifold so i can regulate boost alot better. I could just wack on a .82 rear with a larger internal gate but i want to retain as much response as i can get my hands on so i'm keeping the .63 with looked fairly responsive and going external gate.

Much appreciated to Martin and Mark for the help. Top Blokes.

EDIT: martin seemed to love my setup, i was a bit unsure about the size of the bastard. :D

    • 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).
