Not having a stab or anything, but you from word go was planning on running this thing sub 10 seconds, so why didn't u build it to andra spec to start with? Wouldn't that have been easier then all this down the track modifying?

Yeah it's a bit of a kick in the pants, but its a plus in a way, we get to fix up a few things in the engine bay we had drama's with and add some more go fast bits to test out every 0.1sec counts now lol.

Any manual gearbox car quicker than 11sec must have a full 360 degree 6mm steel scatter shield around the bell housing to cover your clutch and flywheel. Pain in the arse for a GTR as there is very little room and gets in the f**king way of everything, ANDRA's rules are getting more ridiculous every year.

Couldn't agree with u any more duncan, my mate told me a horry story or his mates xygt where the flywheel sheered thru the dash...missed his legs by only a few inches! With the weight and centrifugal force with teeth, its a deadly weapon

But still a nightmare to get one to fit in there, i say kudos to you for trying, i woulda looked at it and sent it to someone else lol. You are flat out squeezing a fart in there, let alone a scatter shield :( On a brighter note, fantastic build, and even better results, this thing looks tops and goes like a scalded cat to boot!

Update time:

Nothing much has changed over the last few months, only waiting on the strain gauge to come. Engine is back in the car and the bell-housing guard is complete and installed. A few minor mods have been done in the engine bay nothing drastic. When the strain gauge rocks up the car will be straight on the trailer heading to Brisbane for a tune up and a healthy dose of more HP, We have also been developing a system for the H Pattern Dogbox to give us quicker shift times, will not be releasing any details yet until it is tried and tested and hopefully does what it is suppose to do. Mark has also got some trick electronic gizmo's to put in as well which will get the MPH up but again secret squirrel business can't release any details. So next time we hit the black-top times will fall fast hopefully.

    • 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).
