normally i wouldn't say R&R at 10psi, but since it is running a r34 turbo then i'd say that it is most likely a contributing factor. it is probably on the limit, but on the colder days lately that is probably putting it over the edge.

if winding down the boost by a little bit (best to do it in small increments rather than just dropping it back to stock boost, or drop it back to stock boost and then slowly start increasing the boost to see at what point the problem occurs) doesn't fix it, then i'd start looking at spark plugs and the ignitor module.

PSI has nothing to do with it and air flow has everything to do with it, greater PSI = more airflow with everything else the same, but as soon as you change things it isn't comparable.

A larger turbo = less restriction, bigger exhaust = less restriction, so does different intercooler etc.

R&R isn't a function or line, it is just a slow progression of the map, if you look at the stock fuel map it is just the higher load/air flow parts of the map, it slowly gets richer and more retarded, it isn't like the knock map where it is either active or it isn't.

it is entirely possible at 10psi with r34 turbo, that would be more than double the airflow of the stock turbo at 7psi hence they make 180-190kw instead of 120kw.

i have a r32 actuator and its set at 10psi. Thanks for the comments, means heaps to me, i am still learning and reading information does help. I will get a chance tomorrow and check the spark plugs and the splitfire coil packs. See if theres any cracks etc etc.

I do believe it hasnt had a tune, so ill save and get one done. Will try and lower the boost down see if that heaps me in any way. Thanks heaps guys. ATM i dont have a boost controller, the car just came as is with the r34 turbo bolted on.

also i am running a walbro GSS 342 fuel pump.

Get new plugs (0.8mm gap!) as that is something you should do for a service anyway. Whilst you are doing this check all the coil packs for signs of arcing via scald marks, there is a few guides on here for taping and glueing them up, look at the 'misfire at 4500-5500 rpm' thread, your question has been asked thousands of times there.

These are cheap and easy things to do, once you have cash get a nistune and get the car properly tuned, will set you back about $500 and will make a BIG difference, highly recommended.

All things you will need to do if you want to mod the car further in the future. New fuel pump like you mentioned it already has is a great mod as well, good to see you are learning, best way is to do lots of searching on here, then if still in doubt ask away! :)

yeah ill have a good look in the morning for signs of cracking and damage. I did get a chance to look at the misfire thread, has good information and i will find out more when i check out the car properly. Yeah learning heaps atm due to this thread and others. Thanks heaps again. I will post more info when i find out more :)

    • 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).
