I hate you guys.    :spank:

Here is a pic of a car I did a while ago.

Happy now?

The plot thickens :P

That's the engine bay of my old car you just posted mate... What do you mean "here's a pic of a car I did a while ago?"

G'day, you're on the speaker with Andrew... Adrian I presume? :)

Great stuff!!! What tyres were you using? Very impressive for a FWD...

Any pics of the whole car?

I was using 22 x 8 x 15 MT's. I don't have any pics of the whole car handy, but it's just a stock looking black EK Civic.

BTW, I edited the post above for your benefit. Hope you like it!

I thought that was Mark's Civic? I saw it run a few times at EC... The entire crowd loved it... Sleepers like that are the best :)

No, I'ts Mark. I'm the one who did all the work while Adrian drank all of BD4's beer!!! (only joking).

What happened with the car?

ROFL... Adrian claimed he had done most of the work :)

Well I bought it off Lee about 1.5 years ago, and I sold it about 2 months ago to a bloke down in Wollongong and moved onto a GTR (see avatar)

I did a few more tweaks to the car before selling it, but I never got around to building the engine, so I'm afraid it left my hands running a max of 1.2 bar and making 280rwkw...

Here's the spec sheet whilst I owned it: See if you can pick my additions :spank:

Trust 10 Row Oil Cooler w/ Oil Filter Relocation Kit

HKS Vernier Cam Gears

Thats about it engine wise. Did you change the pressure reg? We put an APEX one on it.

Kept the APEXi fuel regulator on there... It was doing fine... I wasn't even stressing out the injectors...

I also added the Trust Type-R BOV on there... You guys didn't deem a BOV necessary for a turbo capable of 1.8 bar boost?!??!? What was up with that?

A couple of other additions :)

Blitz SBC-ID Boost Controller

Blitz PowerMeter-ID

APEXi Turbo Timer

Pivot Shift Light

Hey Andrew, I don't suppose you know anyone with a near stock R33 GTS-T?

I'm in the process of making up some cooler/plenum kits for them but the car I've got here has been in an accident and doesn't have a stock A/C fan, making intercooler positioning difficult. If someone is willing to donate their car for a few days they will end up with an extremely nice setup for a very good price :)

Mark, I'm sure if you started a thread asking for volunteers, you'd have an line 50 people long outside your workshop :spank:

Everyone wants to get rid of the standard plenum... B-Man on these forums took a standard plenum and flow tested it and the results were abysmal!!

I thought there would at least be air guides/fins inside the plenum directing airflow for even distribution, but it's just hollow in there...

    • 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).
