Ha ha, nope mirror was facing a funny angle!!

Had a look in the daylight today and the only things that copped mirror glass was, driver window, b pillar, and rear spoiler blade.

Have to wash the car to see if any paint was damaged.

Also went back to the spot where it happened and picked up the plastic bits of the side mirror off the road.

Fitted the pump, injectors and airflow meters. Then played with injector and airflow meter %'s to get it to run! Wide band 02 up the tail and made it run well enough to drive to the tuners. New set of spark plugs, 18PSI ran up 285AWKW.

The boost controller wouldn't hold boost properly above 18 PSI, and it was suggested that I get something better (EVC 6), as well as some newer cam gears as the old one's don't have timing marks. It now drives a lot better with the car pulling cleanly past 8000RPM where before you could feel it drop off after 6500-7000RPM. Makes me like the -9's even more! 22PSI is the next aim once boost controlling is sorted!

Just to get to the fuel pump, rear stiffener and brace need to be removed, also: rear seats, blanking plate, computer racks, plugs and connectors etc.

Injectors and AFM's are the easy part as usual!

I removed some dead weight, it added up to 9KG, but left the rear strut brace in of course.

I removed the carbon insert in the front bar to fit some mesh and refitted.

I suggest you run hks actuators if you want to run 20-22 pounds without the boost curve falling over.

My turbos spike to 1.5bar then drop down to 1.3bar by redline, i havent been able to get rid of that spike :(

Thanks Nick, I'm looking forward to more, but it's so good right now!

I'm already running the HKS adjustable actuators, as per previous posts.

Cheers Chris, They are the same size physically, but the nismo offers more flow. I just wanted a fresh bolt in solution. The 044 will outdo it at higher boost, but not for my aims.

Ha ha it's staying on the car Luke!

hey mate cars coming along beautifuly !

what boost control problems did you have Sean? those wastegate actuators should be holding boost much more steady as the boost controller isnt working as hard. did it spike to 20 or so psi then drop to 18psi by redline?

thanks

I'm thinking it is more the wastegate actuators fault, they are holding 11.5psi with controller off, so I will need to put in more preload on the actuators.

Controller is struggling to hold higher boost, 18psi+ for example. Graphs I got today tell the story.

AWKW

Once I sort out actuators, it'll will be ready for 22psi :D

Wow that boost curve looks EXACTLY like mine.. good thing im getting rid of my twins next week! :action-smiley-069:

Great power considering max power is being made at only 1.2bar :laugh: almost exactly what i made with -7s.

Edit: does anyone think its a possibility that the stock bovs are opening slightly when on full boost hence the boost falling over? I wonder if stronger BOVS will make any difference.

Got some new bits to fit, nismo stuff!!!

So I fitted the Nismo MFD upgrade boards and new map sensor. Did the calibration and it all works.

G sensor, lap timer, oil pressure, 2 bar boost gauge and more scale on the other readings.

Also got the oil air seperator tank kit, and I'll probably fit that soon.

You know it Bob :thumbsup: thanks again.

Thanks RBish, the nismo mafs I chose because, I have played with map sensor based stuff on the 32 I used to have. Takes longer to get right and altitude stuff it around too.

I got them for $700 or so new but they usually go for around $900. Good to have fresh bolt in stuff.

really looking forward to this :D

when's it going in next?? and who's doing the tune??

i probably should get heavy duty actuators before getting mined sorted too

Patience grasshopper!

Here's some pics of the oil/air separator tank fitted. It took 2 hours to fit, top hoses were easy, then jack the front up to get to the rear turbo oil drain fitting and replace it with the new 3 way fitting. Only had to remove the bottom chassis brace to get in there, and use some uni drives to get to the bolts etc.

    • 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).
