ive got a hypergear rebuild in my car, and i cant fault it.

alternatively, japanese import spares have a 2530 to suit an rb for under $1000.

they also have nismo 550's for $240 each if you cant be f**ked waiting. but its easy to find injectors for much cheaper.

jeff (speed lab) tends to work out of turbotune on the other side of town. and actually, this turbo jap car stuff is pretty straight forward. dont have to pull half your engine (and half your car) apart to change a cam. ;)

if its a "500HP" pump, it will be fine.

Last I heard Jeff was working out of a place at Pooraka.

Takes just under 2 weeks from the time I recieve money, but I can supply 555cc injectors for an rb20 for under $400 (set of 6)

Am expecting injectors for Dark.Sky and MattyR31 this week and injectors for DSTROY next week.

on the topic of injectors, i noted a certain united in the pt adelaide area advertising E85? if its gonna hit hard this time i may consider changing over.

+1 If it becomes more widely availible I might look into it.

fair enough.

bah, stupid rb's and their crappy ceramic turbines. get a highflow, then smash 16 psi. easy. :(

My old 32 ran 16psi day in day out on an R33 turbo and didn't miss a beat, and you saw how harshly that was treated Dave :wave:

lol. that thing was flogged hard. but it was also 2 steps away from being a missile car. fairly sure this guy wants his to stay in one piece! :wave:

That may be so, but my main point was the R33 turbos can handle a bit of abuse :P

If it was my car I'd go front mount, decent exhaust (turbo back 3inch with no cat), fuel pump and run boost around 14psi. Turbo should handle it, injectors might be pushed but everything should hold together and make near enough to 200 @ the wheels and would still be responsive. Would be good fun for a bit till you get used to it and want more :(

R33 turbos on a RB20 arent put under the same heat and load hence why you can boost it to 16psi

i ran my RB25det to 14psi for about a year before she went bang and didn't properly go bang just made a little noise i recon better oil may have not done that too AFR's wont stop your ceramic wheel going pop

possibly best route

Garret 3076

Injectors 555 if you not going to entertain the idea of E85 or else 700+

PowerFc if your real keen or else speak to Shaun @ boostworx for a VG30dett ECU conversion

get rid of the walbo and get a bosch

and

Z32 AFM

tune to 18psi and let the fun begin can go higher if detonation is low tunner will know how much you can go

Garret 3076 - Got

Injectors 555 if you not going to entertain the idea of E85 or else 700+ - Got Nismo 740cc

PowerFc if your real keen or else speak to Shaun @ boostworx for a VG30dett ECU conversion - Using a Haltech

get rid of the walbo and get a bosch - Using a Bosch 040

and

Z32 AFM - Dont have as I am using MAP sensor

That is a very good combo, i am running 15psi and making 265rwkw. If you are wanting to retain more of your response i would suggest a hiflow or the 0.6 a/r for the GT3076 turbo. I am running a 0.82 a/r, a little bit laggy, but boost hits nice and hard :P.

Maybe also replace coilpacks with either Yellowjacket/Splitfire/Superspark, depends on what condition your stock ones are in.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
