206kW was the "gentlemans agreement" between all jap car manufacturer's. So cars like gtr, evo supra's etc all will quote 206kW. But guess what...

I have heard that the R34 GTR was released claiming it had 206 Kw. But when they places it on the dyno, it actually had 244Kw, is that true?

Or 280HP but truly had 327 HP!?!

I read that too, on Wikipedia tho and I don't really count Wiki as solid info.

would seem that the gentlemans agreement was more to be 'kind' to the opposing car manufacturers; Japanese culture is very different to western business and seems to include more morals and integrity.

Same as the new GTR; no-one knows how much power it really makes as every engine is different.

An RB26 would definitely make over 240kw standard; thats without any mods

i'm sure someone will correct me here, as i've never owned a GTR (or looked inside a standard one), but i read somewhere Nissan were kind enough to mark the restrictor in the boost control line so it was easy to remove, thus returning the engine to it's intended power.

yes the boost restrictor is marked on the line. I have owned quite a few GTRs now. 32, 33 and 34 and have had a standard 32, standard 33 and standard 34. I would agree they do have more than 206kw at the engine standard, but I don't think it's 240 or 260, I would say around 210-220 for 32s about 220 for 33s and about 230-235 for 34s. but what they really did was add a couple of basic resitrctions to bring the cars fown to the 206kw limit. so with a free flowing exhaust and 4 pounds more boost you get great gains. an extra 30-40kws just with those mods.

well that's kind of an individual choice! but personally yeah I think it's ok. providing you get the car checked on the dyno when you remove it. check the AFR, knock, and boost level. providing the boost is not going past 14psi and the AFR is ok and there is no knock then go for it. enjoy some free power. just be aware that any 32 with standard turbos is a bit of hit and miss. some will blow a turbo even at standard boost. some will live for years and years on 15psi with no problems. so if we are talking R32 (or even R33 really) then do it at your own risk!

Ben at RacePace put my 100% stock R34 GTR on his dyno and it made 211 rwkw. I fitted a HKS cat back and boost has now hit 1.2 bar, so I'm guessing it makes a bit more now.

The 211rwkw figure was made with stock airbox and panel filter, shitty compliance cat, stock exhaust, 180km restricted. The motor had 59,000kms on it.

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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).
