I believe its ceramic exhaust and steel inlet from the look of it, if its blades are brown I've been told its its ceramic but I'm no a turbo expert, heres a quote that might help

The turbo you're talking about is most likely a 45v3. The specs of this turbo are very close to a T3 super 60. They were based off of garrett designs but actually made by Nissan. One of the cool things about this turbo is that it uses a composite (yes, plastic) compressor wheel and a ceramic turbine shaft and wheel. These are the lightest materials available and combined with the cermaic ball bearing center section, they boost increadibly fast. I have used these turbos on a lot of custom turbo set-ups I have done for people and they always spin pretty damn fast at idle.

One of the problems that you are going to run into is that the materials used for the turbine wheel limits its boost potential. With the 45v1-4 turbos, you can only hit a maximum of around 15psi. There are four different variations of that turbo (hense 1-4) and each has it's own slight differences. The 45v3 is pretty much the same thing as a 45v2, just it has the composite compressor wheel. The 45v1 has a slightly smaller compressor, the 45v4 has a slightly larger turbine housing. Some people have used different combinations of components to make some pretty wicked turbos. Three of those turbos come on the Rb25det motors, differing from R32-R33 models, The other, and the largest, comes off of the VG30det (the older single turbo model.)

so that seems to confirm its stainless steel compressor.

These are off early model Nissan Cima/Leopards i think, well they are in NZ anyways the early model 300zx's were single cam vg30's whilst the Cima's were twin cam single turbo

    • 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).
