yeh they are laggy but this is bush bearing turbos on low compression rb26 with seals that are on the way out lol!!

can only compare the gearbox to standard so dunno , feels closer ratio between 2-3 3-4 , and im not stressing to break gearbox when i drop it at 8300 limiter , every other drivelien part is another story lol!

when the turbos finally let go will probs chuck on some -5 for comparrison but dunno how well they will with this low compression!!

Any reason you went so low? For your boost level it would've been fine on standard 8.5:1

Good to hear about the gearbox, everyone that's driven one reckons they're hot shit and well worth the coin

Can always change it, head gasket isn't as bad as changing pistons lol.

Agreed.

Just change the 1.5mm one out for a standard gasket, weld the wastegate shut, turn the fuel pressure up, set the injectors to 100% and hold it flat.....good times

Oh there's one 400 club member who's a happy camper tonight. As far as spreadable power, it's pretty much WINNING!!!

Will overlay the graph with another big engine to compare, just got the graph straight from the dyno so it will have to wait until tomorrow and ill go to the dyno and take a pic thats worth posting in here rather than the one i have currently which was just a quick one

Its all day after tomorrow like now, I figure you should at least share some details after this much waiting :P

OK guys here we go. Didn't get to overlay it which was a shame, but did get a much better pic.

This is Paul/Piggaz's GTR of course. Turns the wheels in 2nd gear on 265 semi slicks. The thing to note is that between gear changes, unlike so many other cars out there, when you have selected the next gear and engaged the clutch - this thing is already making ~400rwkw instead of being off boost or out of the meaty powerband. It's got a great spread of power, and it's fast! There's another 30-35rwkw in it top end with cam timing but it's setup for overall power not a peaky figure. So much fun, he could charge admission for a ride in it.

Not to take anything away from Paul, but RB30 still rules :D

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
