Since i've bought my r32 gtr its been a lot more laggy than my mates, its not really full boost til 4500-5 and doesnt kick in that hard

My mates seems to kick in real hard down low, about 2500 from memory

Mines still stock turbos but its got adjustable actuators on the turbo's, ive adjusted them to run 10 psi and there seems to be heaps of pressure holding the internal gates closed, one thing i noticed is it hasn't got the boost restrictor in it but only runs 10 psi maybe still the actuators are adjusted wrong even though theres a lot of pressure keeping the gates shut?

It also has a big cooler but surley that wouldn't cause that big of difference in lag!?

Its got stainless dump pipes that go to a 3.5 inch exhuast not that i see how that would make it laggy lol...

apart from that its stock

Any ideas?

cheers

Might be worth putting some stock actuators on it then? but there seems to be heaps of pressure to hold the gates closed!

Full boost by 4000? wonder why my mates spools so quick then, his does have adjustable cam gears but i didnt think it would of made 1500 rpm difference

If your mates one has adjustable cam gears that may explain why his ramps onto boost harder and faster.Cam gears properly dialled in can increase low end and spool up.not too sure as to what extent however

hey mate, same kinda thing i found with my gtr stock everything except for zorst, full boost by 4000rpm atleast, not a reall kick in the back either... untill i boosted her to 15pound, made a world of difference,cam gears are going in atm so hopefully that will help lag.

but yeah adjustable actuators on stock turbos not so sure, maybe put factory ones on and save ur self time mucking round.

ball bearing turbos help too.... :)

FWIW my stock turbos + EBC make 13 psi by 3300rpm, but has Nistune. Saying "full boost" without quoting the boost level is meaningless because the higher boost the longer it will take to get there... but yeah 10psi by 4500 is no good. I'd try a set of stock actuators first.

byebye - Did I fit cam gears to your friends GTR? That will make a big difference..

I would suggest getting it tuned/diagnosed properly.

Sam.

Cam gears were already on it but you played with them, its the blue sparkly/dented one you tuned at munros before power cruise

The timing was out a little bit and has made it slightly more responsive

When are you coming back to tas sam? nath did ring you one day but you sounded busy, you said something about him being a pest haha

    • 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).
