whats with the kid comments on here?

Oh and for the dyno day... i believe my 350z pulled nearly as much as some of your

turbo hypered up cars with more mods then a transformer.

But yeah, for a FACT... the Carrera S is a 3.8 litre 'non turbo' and its 0-100 is nearly 5s for the 2008 model

and also it was auto, so good luck clutching.... fast n furious kids

hahah, gaz, now thats funny. You could pull almost as much power as some of theirs yes, but power to weight ratio says you will still get toasted. I pulled 193rwhp with my stock VZ SV6 last year for laughs at a toyota performance day, about 30 or so hp less than yours, but you can go ahead and keep kidding yourself if you want. I'll enjoy watching.

As for the power aswel, I was pulling on average about 20hp more than a lot of the cars on that toyota dyno day aswel (there were turbo 180's and so forth there also) but I wasn't so delusional that I actually believed for a second I'd stand a chance against them in a drag.

See you sound pissed because you spent ALL THAT MONEY on something that is in essence, a "drive to the shop and look good" car. But that's just my opinion. Not meant as an attack, but just to draw attention to what it is you are on about.

997 Carrera S technical data

0-300 km/h -

Quarter mile 12.3 seconds

350Z technical data

Performance

Max speed 155 miles/h (250 km/h)

0-100 km/h 6.0 seconds

0-160 km/h 13.8 seconds

0-200 km/h 22.8 seconds

0-300 km/h -

Quarter mile 13.8 seconds

0-100-0 mph 18.80 seconds

Gary theres so much that could of went on during the "race", reaction, road conditions, traction, weight etc

At the end of the day most of us believe you would of lost, as to pointing out how you won, your guess i as good as mine

ps. extracting power out of turbo hypered up cars is much easier then a 350z

      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).
