Put it on the dyno. Got up to 272RWKW @ 14psi before we called it quits.

Water temp was going from 92 to 105 in just one run.. possible headgasket issue.

Also have to sort out sump breather hose, seems to push oil up the pipe, and into the oil/air separator plumbing and intake :(

Sounds like an air lock check if your heater is working a good indication for a airlock

And seems like a blocked breather !!

I hope you can work it out

Thanks Brad! Yours will be a monster!!

Still have not done clutch...had to keep it on the road due to things popping up and arriving short notice :whistling:. Was worth it though!

The clutch is a Nismo gmax twin plate (Brett) , that I got second hand, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new clutch discs.

I'm currently half way through getting brembo bits to take the brakes back to something more streetable...

New scuff plates..post-12712-0-88248000-1327199816_thumb.jpgpost-12712-0-09787700-1327199833_thumb.jpg

Where did you get the scuff plates? They are awesome!!! Edited by Rylan

Thanks. Got them off ebay, of all places. Then customised with stickers :)

Must be a big air lock!!! Never had it this bad...I'm retorquing headstuds as a precaution.

Timing was conservative as far as I know, tuner checked it on dataloggit after base timing check....

Coolant system bled, oil setup and catchcan done :D

Thought I'd check the cam timing on the gears as it has been sluggish at low to mid RPM. Well I stuffed up, got the advance and retard settings on the gears backwards, which meant that it liked top end due to retard on intake cam and advance on exhaust.

Once I fixed that and adjusted it correctly to suit stock cams, and rechecked timing with timing light again, it's now back to it's great drivable self again...silly me!!!

14PSI is great, I'm looking forward to what it will do with 22 or so PSI into it :D

Meh, nah spent too much already!

Spat a power steering belt mid corner today on Putty Rd, scary moment!! Nearly crashed :( Needed to be retensioned anyways. Damn they are hard to steer with no power steering!!

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
