I am looking at the Mines & Reimax cam cover baffles for the RB26's. The thing I can quite get my head around is physically how large are they? Does anyone have some approx dimension - particularly for the Mines ones. The Reimax equivalents appear to be much shorter.

Both are shown on the Greenline site if anyone is wondering where to look.

ive fitted 5 sets of these...the most recent on Sunday. The Mines ones are longer and need to be drilled to clear the cam cap studs if you keep the baffle caps on.

I never drilled mine !

Did you move the baffle caps to the new position as shown in the instructions ?

do you have camp cap studs? or just the std bolts?

i think paul was referring to the aftermarket studs having to be clearanced

Just the std setup which are bolts for all but the 8 which hold the baffle caps they are studs.

Maybe Paul could post a pic of the drilling ?

When he has a minute,as he is busy preparing for new arrival.

Best wishes to stace.

yeah the ones ive installed all used cam cap studs...not bolts...so needed drilling.

Anyone able to give a quick run-down of how to install these puppies? I picked up a set this week but came with no instructions (I know there are ones posted above, however I don't read Japanese) Is it a simple straight swap affair or do some modifications need to be performed?

I'm wondering, would it be overkill to use both the Mines triple flow baffle plates, and a oil/air seperator at the same time?

I'm also wondering with the Mine's plates, oil purists here (not one myself, but hypothetically anyway); wouldn't you want the blowby oil that would normally come out the stock baffle plate to be caught by your oil catch can than a oil/air seperator or the triple flow baffle plates sending it back into the sump?

Take em out , blank the breathers off and use a GZ vacuum pump , helps seal the rings better - reduces blow by -reduced and relieves crank case pressure - allows oil to drain out of the head quicker at higher rpm and increases hp - up to 50hp in some cases.Also helps keep oil cleaner if running a little rich in some areas. Good bank for buck.

do you plumb the pump into the back welsh plug where you typically plumb the head drain into?

what kind of vacuum figure would you aim for in the crankcase?

    • 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).
