japs know how to do it best :):D

...when i grow up i wana be jap

Colin: You may have already seen this and I'm not sure if it's any good to you, or how expensive it'll get. But it might be worth keeping an eye on.

The others I've found are all interstate and would probably cost you the $500 you're setting aside just to truck the mongrel up.

Yeah seen it, keeping an eye on it not too keen on it though. Its on boost as well and he wants like 900 for the shell or something stupid.

i was still at home broad minded person..now curretnyl at work...

Is that another SAU filter?

i think its c-u-n-t

flamin mongrel

*edit - no it isnt i just tried lol.. hmmm

I wish she was 300awkw but sadly she isnt. :)

what? where'd that come from brandon?

finish your exhaust and get injectors :)

and then i guess you'd need a re-tune

*disclaimer* i am a total n00b and following my instructions without any professional advice is just plain foolish

I wish she was 300awkw but sadly she isnt. :)

So you need to pick up an extra 45awkw?

- Injectors Why? They're too small

- Fuel pump Why? It doesn't flow enough and will need to be replaced for bigger injectors

- Adustable cam gears Why? You need to make the most of the standard GTR camshafts, it's all about dialing them in!

- More aggressive tune Why? Becuase tuners tune too conservative, thus no one breaks a motor but less power*

- Find out why it’s not holding more boost Why? More boost more power

- Your turbo’s are N1, not “stock”, they can handle more than the fart of air you are putting through them

What air box are you using? Factory? What filter? You do not need pretty pod filters (see all the research on here) maybe look into a better filter panel if you still have the stock box.

I am personally a fan of the Alloy ARC air boxes

Anything over 300RWKW really needs at least a 3.5inch exhaust.. To be honest

Skylines, including GTR’s are “cookie cutter” recipes when it comes to creating power. Follow the tried and tested path.

*You might find with the above, you wont even need a super aggressive tune anyway

yeeeh i was on the money with zorst and injectors

- Your turbo’s are N1, not “stock”, they can handle more than the fart of air you are putting through them

classic

:)

but in all seriousness brandon - what boost are you running?

yeh those airboxes are porn!

in regards to pods,

tas as a pdf of the latest analysis of pod filters - tested for flow and filtration

i for one was shocked with the results, Apexi and HKS (both considered "upper market") performed shit,

turns out the $30 pod (cant remember the name) was 1st for flow and 2nd for filtration (i believe knn was 1st for filtration, yet only 4th for flow)

yeeeh i was on the money with zorst and injectors

I think he said 1.1bar, because it couldn't hold anything over that. If your a skirt 1.3 - 1.5bar. There are reports of N1 turbo's being used up to 1.7, however these could very well be for R34 N1 turbos, which are better then R32/R33 N1 turbos.

I would suggest doing your own RnD, not take mine as gospel. For what it’s worth, when I had a half decent income I was searching high and low for an N1 R32 myself, so spent some time looking at what I could do with it, without basically bastardizing it

1.1 is childs play :)

for 1.5 would he need bigger injectors and the fuel pump?

Yes - 600cc's in theory could do the job, but close to max or max duty cylce sorta scare's me. From a safe leway point of view I'd be throwing in 800cc's and keeping the duty cycle down.

I personaly would also be doing a proper twin fuel pump set up.

One to left the fuel and one to send the fuel to the car.

In saying this, you can get pretty dam good intank fuel pumps that are more than good enough as well, to keep it stock looking

For starter... I dont have that much money to spend every month (homeloan took more than 50% of my pay away...) especially from doing the basic (ecu, ebc, tune) mod last month which cost 3k.

I'm reading and trying to find why is it not holding boost, it seems to be narrowing down to wastegate or ebc from what I'm reading (can be others too but these 2 seems to be the highest possibility). Doesnt make sense that its running 0.6bar before the tune which points to wastegate/actuator (after some reading).

I think the exhaust is good enough (http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/power-extreme-ti-r). I agree with what you're saying about the agressive tuning but the fact remains its not holding boost above 1.15bar which means I need to solve that before doing with anything else.

If I'm gonna want more power out of the car, I will have to do the following;

1) 555cc injectors

2) AFM

3) new ebc

4) cam (I might consider doing this if theres not too much $ involved)

5) fuel pump (do I need it? I dont even know what am I having or is there an "N1" fuel pump thats suppose to be in there)

6) retune

Do the math and thats not gonna be cheap! And better still, if I decided to get 700cc injectors, I might be getting wastegates change + dumps too which is gonna add up. I'm selling the dumps I bought for now, which means its the end of the mod disease for me and only thing left to mod are the suspension and clutch if that ever fails.

The car feels really good to drive now and I'm pretty with it now. So.. stop spreading the virus to me! I'm happy with my 255awkw GTBOAT!

Would be interested to see this, the last test I saw rated Apexi ones as very good.

Might be time to change filter, shame i can't get one of those ARC boxes for my car :)

Injectors are 90% now and highest boost 1.15bar (but seems to be 1.1 on the graph). Savman told me his are running at 98% duty, 18psi (1.2bar), 300+rwkw I think (EVERYTHING STOCK, thats including pipes, injectors, afm etc. Only had PFC and PFC boost kit). Using that as a reference, at 1.2bar you're pretty much at the limit of both injectors and afms. So yes they will have to go. Dont know much about fuel to comment.

I wouldnt run 800cc after reading about efficiency, unless you have plans for further upgrades.

    • 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).
