Nice results...but

I cant help myself. CRD gave the GTR its cult status in Australia? :) LOL i am not sure, but based on the amount of Suzuki GTIs you used to do back in the day i will pay the fact that you made those the cult car of the early 90s :P:D

Again, good work on the results! :P

Its easy roy.....Let me give you some instruction to be able to see it there way........insert your head as far up as your own arse as possible......

Nice work!

What sort of boost is it running? Excuse my ignorance but was it a turbo upgrade or is still running the stock ones?

17 pounds I think. Stock turbo. Its the investment in the HKS kit up front that makes making power in this car easy. Jim did the cam timing today which yielded another 20 or so kilowatts atw. Still waiting for injectors and spark plugs to arrive. Once I have these goodies, and another round of tuning, should be ready for another night at the drags. The thing runs 0 -100 in 3.1 seconds consistently now. If I nail a launch I could see sub 3.0, in fact I may well have done that on the way to the 10.8 run the other night. Anyway, if I can fluke a cold night, some high octane fuel, and a good launch a sub 10.5 should be do-able.

Ok, I'll come clean, CRD are now completing phase two of my build. I previously did the HKS 570 kit, injectors, cobb etc. As you can see below we are now doing the serious stuff. GReddy turbo kit, HKS intercoolers, HKS tranny cooler, Willal sump, fuel pump (E85), 1000cc injectors, 4 inch exhaust.

Should be done in a couple of weeks...

Jim has built a custom 4 inch exhaust (3.5 inch dump pipes), single side exit. White 35 had it fitted yesterday - much quieter and no drone for normal driving, unreal on boost.

    • 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).
