Wow another big SAU roll up. Not to hot lathugh may be a little wet. As always it willl be an interesting day.

Thanks for having us again John :yucky:

Looking foward to seeing if my car does any better now.. I think she is healthy again.

Now I can go and wash my car tonight so it looks healthy too lol.

this will be a top day. everyone should get out there. cheap way to get your car on a dyno and see how it's going. :banana:

I will try and make it out too. the only question is do I bring the 34 (stock)? the S13 runs about 230odd rwkw on UAS dyno so maybe I should bring that? or I'm kind of curious to see what my FD RX7 is making now that the new pre-stage ported 13B is run in. hmmm tough choice. I'm guessing the stock 34 GTR makes about 190rwkw and the 7 maybe 200rwkw or so.

well if I don't make it out, have a great day without me guys. :D

if you can't decide i'll take the RX7 for you lol, they are a beautiful machine, completely different to the skylines but in its own right they are excellent. A friend of mine is actually looking at a 1991 series 5 turbo on sunday, what should he be looking for?

I'm washing my car anyway because a few days ago while going throgh the m2 tunnel those bloody stupid exhaust fans splatterd oil on my car, couldnt wash it because i was going to work, then i finish work at midnight, wake up for work next morning, finish work midnight again, so gota wash it now....

and if its 20-25degrees tomorrow the temps will be ok for the dyno results, cooler air = denser air, denser air = more air, more air = more power lol

if he's buying an old RX7 my advice would be pay as little as possible and save for a rebuild! mine is a 2001 RZ and even it was due for a new engine after a wee 30,000kms! rotor motors are not built to last. :banana:

can i still come with a broken three gear you only need fourth gear for a dyno run

If we get you rocking up scobles, you have easy takings of the RB30 trophy. Was your run on the Envy dyno with gas? Impressive figure. :banana:

Cyas tomorrow.

im out :) i found the limits of a standard rb30 bottom end engine let go at 592hp not bad for a stock engine time to visit abbcos ha ha or i mite build one for once ;) just think what we can make with a built engine 600hp+

Cyas tomorrow.

nah the run on envys dyno was with no gas just 20 psi should have left it there but where do you stop

    • 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).
