one of your intercooler pipes has come off.

yeah same sort of feeling as a popped cooler pipe but they are all fine, car starts fine warm cold as normal idles fine, revs smooth till 2200 start playing up a bit then by 2500 its just dead, cars fairly stock, stock computer, fmic full exhaust turbo back stock turbo , fresh engine 15000thou ago, its like its rich and retarding really low in revs?

i had a popped cooler pipe that didnt make a diff think boost when to kick in but anyway, dats not his prob.. but do a diagnostic test and see what happens. maybe chuck it on a dyno and seif it is r&r. let us know wat happens wit either one..

i having similar prob at 3000rpm but only when its warm.

ok, checked the afm with a known well working one no difference, pulled the computer out,replaced, forgot to mention it has a piggy backed safc neo, this morning went to drive to mechanic, was fine, totally normal so stuff knows what it was, have myself a power fc to get rid of the piggy back hoping this will fix the problem once and for all

The 2500 RPM rev cut is due to limp home mode and is caused by a faulty AFM signal. When you had the SAFC fitted you would have cut the AFM signal wire to the ECU and installed the piggy back to fudge the AFM signal. I would be checking you SAFC wiring if no problem there then the SAFC is playing up. Limp home can also be caused by a AFM signal that is out of range.

    • 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).
