second collector pic.

looks kinda average where u can see the pipes coming in overlap the actual collector pipe. paying that kinda money i'd want it to be 110% perfect

kyles collectors are better than that

You're right, I'm from the states, and Kyles manifolds are about half to one third the price of the Full race manifolds, even though they're only 2 states away from me.

My 6 boost collector looks much better than that, and I dont know why you'd want a stainless manifold anyway, the heat expansion characteristic is definately not ideal for a component like a turbo manifold that sees at much heat as it does. I think the only advantage of stainless is that they're prettier, and maybe lighter? I'm not sure about that though.

Looking at the bottom of the 3rd pic, there is a ledge from what i can see, is that from overlap of the collector to pipe or something?

LOL, u know what, im sure they will do the same shit.... there is variances in both of them...

Actually, the full-race manifold is the heavyweight of the 2. From memory my sr 6Boost was 8kg's and my full-race mani was 10kg. The full-race does have a slightly thicker flange plate tho and provision for two gates. The full-race mani certainly does 'grow' towards my strut tower when hot.

sorry to say but for that bloody price i'd want it to have stainless steel flanges, not f**king mild steal

nice design but still... 6boobs for the win!

hmmmm, 3 times the fun, 6boobs are good :D

That GT4088R vs S374 comparison is beyond suss, I've seen plots of the same car running S366 and GT4088R and the S366 was at best the same as the GT4088R but couldn't make the same power on boost. The Borg Warners are good turbos, but they aren't THAT good.

Cheers Den001, I look forward to hearing how it goes :D

I have looked at heaps of things around the place over time trying to get to the bottom of different setup options but I guess should make a habit of favouriting things so I can look back over it all. Here are a couple I know of, one shows a typical example of someone who sells Borg Warners trying in the face of fact to make out that a 1000hp Borg Warner can spool the same as a ~800hp Garrett when in fact there is a 1000rpm spool difference being called out:

And an S366 vs GT4088R comparison - for some reason this time the images aren't coming up for me, not sure if its because I am at work this time or not but either way you can tell the gist of results from the conversation:

    • 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).
