Ok so after careful review, you aren't actually wrong about the last part, you are wrong about the first part.

The only reason you 'USE' more fuel at peak power is because the injector is doing it more times. Peak torque has a higher ratio of fuel usage per rpm compared to peak power. Which is why most fueling and ignition problems occur at around that time but become better as rpm increases.

So, yes, more fuel will physically leave your tank at peak power but you certainly have a higher demand for fuel at peak torque

What you just said is exactly what I said, including you using the ratio of fuel usage to rpm instead of what I said (which was just to say per cycle). So either we are both wrong about the first part I wrote or neither of us are, and I really prefer the latter.

Most ignition problems turn up at peak torque because BMEP is highest at that point, making the mixture harder to spark off.

A lot of fuelling problems turn up at peak torque because that's when it's likely to ping the worst (and hence where pinging will likely start to show), given that BMEP is highest then.

I will quote that part you are wrong about:

"Now that's just untrue"

ok just an update didnt get a chance to do a fuel presure test as when i got hoe dad had taken the car but when he got back told me to take it for a run and the car is runing a lot better still has a little pop above 4500 rpm but its runing a lot better and is holding 7psi of boost now so might pull plugs out and check them and clean them and see if the gets rid of the little pop thanks for the help guys will let ya know how it goes

    • 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).
