yeah made up.. because the engine is in a american spec nissan z33 350z, i can get some big dumps made for it... and it will be pretty cheap here, about the same price as importing a set.

what you think ?

your setup sounds like fun - maybe run the oem airbox & see how the sound changes? i'd also say its the pods that are making the noise...

ive also wondered whether i should upgrade my hks split dump pipes to the bellmouth type / 3 inch dumps if im aiming for 350awkw with a 2.6ltr & -5s? any thoughts?

i am only running 16psi of boost atm... its summer here and even at 2am its 40deg c....

also i am running stock r32 gtr dump pipes because the hks dumps i had on the 2510 did not fit for some reason.

how much power would these stock r32 gtr dump pipes be robbing from my setup? i was thinking of getting some replacements or get some bad ass 3" ones made, what would be better?? or is it not needed? come winter i really do want around 340rwkw

-9 on an RB30..its very responsive like a NA.

Sounds like a pretty lethal setup. Add e85 to the mix and you should

be well above 340rwkw in the winter. Some people have hit around 370rwkw on e85

on a standard 26 with -9s. Power figure yet to be backed up with 1/4 run though.

Ditch the 32 dumps for some 34 dumps. 55mm outlet compared to a 59mm outlet

on 33 dumps but you can see the inlet of the 34 dumps promote flow that is more laminar.

That and its quite a bit bigger in the middle as well.

Keen to see how this turns out for you

we dont have e85 here, but our 98 is good, real good... 330 - 340kw on 98 will do me just fine.

i am going to get a set of r34 dumps i think.

I'm using HPI dumps with my -9s and making 350kw on 98

So when winter hits in sure you can get there aslong as the rest of the exhaust is up for it

front pipes measure 61mm & collector is 88mm - is there an advantage to running larger diameter dump pipes if my front pipes are this size?

my current hks split dump pipes are 59mm

What size are your front pipes, Marko?

thats what she said hey Paul :)

makes me wonder how much of a restriction my rb30dett was when i had it - that also ran hks split dumps with only a 3.2" inch system & slightly smaller front pipes.

what size front pipes u running big boy?

Jesus, they're tiny!!!

I'd say not, unless you're gonna change front pipes too.

far out that r they straight pipes then (no cat)?

I thought u said 3.5" was your old cat back exhaust

Two mufflers, no cats, twin tips... Almost looks standard...

May have, but I've had this system on for close to two years.

    • 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).
