After that i installed the hks oil cooler kit, pretty straight foward. With the aircon removed, i decided to

mount it in front of the radiator for now. Gives me more space to utlize my brake ducts.

You might get lucky, but I found my oil temps weren't well controlled with the cooler mounted between intercooler and radiator. It's been moved and hangs underneath the RHS headlight. Time will tell if it works better there.

Went and bought some dry ice today, then went too work removing the sound deadening.

Worked a treat, got all of it out apart from some bits on the tranny tunnel and the vertical

pieces at the rear. I'll get to them with a heat gun a bit later on.

Also removed the aircon box above the passenger side dash, and the fan box on the left side of that. Bloody big items,

not light aswell. I'll remove the whole heater box behind the dash later on, once i take the dash off.

Got a hill climb this weekend so dont want to be rushing to put the car back together.

Another goodie arrived yesterday, a very snug Racetech seat :)

Put the car back together for the huntley hill climb this weekend. Haven't bought a trailer yet so i'll be driving it down there,

hopefully no dramas.

Got some photo's of my new daily and tow bitch.

An 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, fully optioned, awesome interior, 5.7 Hemi v8. A bit thirsty

but i don't drive that much. In love with it already, tow capacity 3500kg's.

Now i need to get that trailer

put the car back together yesterday and took her out to the Huntley hillclimb this morning.

Went alright, had to get use to the sticky rubber. First time i've used r spec tyres, and

they are alot gripper than the shit i have used before.

The car was missing anyware above 4500-5000, i did have them gapped at 1.1 and they were fine before,

but the combination of removing the cat and putting a larger exhaust plus a couple extra psi was blowing them

out. I'll replace them this week and run them at .8

Was lot of good fun though!

Now to pull the car back apart again :)

nah decided to go a different route with the engine. Going to put all the bolt ons and tune it on e85, but i'll go an rb30 bottom end when it's time.

Was away for a couple months for work, just got back and going to start work on it again fitting the intake manifold, turbo kit and fuel system.

Hopefully get out for a few track days asap. Bought a Tilta trailer so keen to test it out :)

well been away for work non stop which doesnt help, but got a couple days off so trying to get as much done as possible.

Got my head back from the machine shop. Head it cleaned up, oil returns drilled out, valve seat job, supertech springs, retainers, seals, seats.

The hks cams are in, hks manifold is on with a tial wasgegate and the greddy inlet manifold is on. Just waiting on a tomei headgasket to arrive.

Painted the cam covers blue with some left over paint.

Today i fitted a rear oil feed restrictor, blocked off the middle oil feed and fitted some arp head studs to the block.

Also fitted a surge tank with an 044 and wired that up with a relay straight of the battery.

Put the powerfc in and put the blitz dscb spec r in but havent wired it up yet.

Once the headgasket gets in, i'll fit the head, wack on the 3076 and take it in to get tuned on e85.

The car is also on stands as i just sold the te37sl's, and am getting some AME tracers and hankook z221's

THEN........i put oil back in, put coolant in......AND.........coolant started pissing out. Right away, before i even got a chance to try and start the thing.

Had as best a look as i could and there is a full on stream pissing out from the rear welsh plug.

So I am really depressed at the moment, whole week of work for nothing, and as i start work again next week i wont have any time to rip EVERYTHING off again, so probably going to go drop it in to someone.....arghhhhhh

yeah that's a bitch!

i'd be interested to know what valve seats you put in and what valve spring seat pressure your running.

wing and canards look phat, when you re-registered the car as a 2 seater, i assume you had to produce a roadworthy? how ever did you manage to get that wing passed?

i have an rb25 block if your still going that way.

also, doing an rb30 bottom end for the first time so would be happy to collaborate with others who will actually do one and use it on the track.

      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).
