oops, sorry, I knew that :S. Dunno why I had 350 in my head. Maybe I was dreaming about e85 again

All good buddy. Had a customer ask for 350kw out of -7's today. I have never actually heard of them making that sort of power. 330 is even up there. Maybe with cams

My mistake :P

Wanna sell me your 3.5" front pipe lol

Cant you get BSA or another local fabricator to fab one? I guess you will need a new cat too, if you want to run one.

I would help if you were down here, I always wanted to make a jig for GTR front pipes but I have never been asked to make one. I guess there are too many brand name pipes getting around.

Just my 2c on this entire -9 vs -5 topic having been in cars with both setups i can safely say -9's will get boring rather quickly. For a car that is driven 1-2x a week i cant see why you wouldnt go the bigger power of the -5's.

All this lag stuff is nonsense too alot of guys in this thread are treating the -5's as if though their some t51r sized monsters, realistically the lag is not too bad at all. Going 60-70kmh in 4th and drop it down to 2nd. The difference in the pull of the -5's is whats sold me.

If your using your GTR for twisties where response is needed every week go the -9, for anything else -5's all day.

I agree with this

If you are only driving the car on weekends go the -5s I say

As mine is daily driven the -9 was my best option for application

In the end the biggest question you need to ask is what are you going to use the car for?!?

I walk to work and have a daily for the run around stuff.

So this car will be a good weather Weekender ONLY. Also planned a few long trips to melb ect.

Which got me thinking, a smaller turbo such as the -9 would almost always be sitting on boost on the freeway would it not? Same as a -7

So something like a -5 would provide better economy for highway driving as the turbos is not constantly spooling.

Or am i misguided on this one?

Either way this will not be a daily driver, But then again I want good response through the twisties. Which im sure -5s can still provide. Just not as good at the -9s.

nomnomv8- your comment has again swayed me away from the -9’s. But I really haven’t made the comparisons like you having sat in both cars.

Still looking for a -5 set up to take a ride in.

Do you have an engine that will handle the -5's?

or are you going to a have a laggy 350rwks and hope and pray that everytime you hit the throttle bits of engine arent going to fly out the bonnet?

LOL @ engine on boost driving down the highway

does the car do it now? NO!

      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).
