^^^ I have always been running a Power FC and had highflowed my stock turbo when it blew at Barbs........so its got a Gt3076r core in it now with a slightly bigger than standard housing.........(avoided a high mount because its daily driven)

The old tune was done on a hot day (not that it matters that much)....but its leaning out pretty badly in places....and the AFRs are all over the place really.

Had a lovely tuning session this evening...nice and cool......and yeah she performed very well.

First up a big thank you to Tom and Richie @ PZP (you guys are awesome)

Few pics..............

New LED dash bulbs look nice.................

Plenty of fresh air :)

PLENTY of flames :devil: .....and a couple of hours later.......................

Two boost settings....................

12 psi spiking to 13 psi for everyday driving........319 @ the wheels.....

18 psi for the high boost setting.....352.9 @ the wheels.....

Tom was reluctant to turn up the boost (even though the car was responding well to more boost) because of the damage it might cause to the standard head gasket, valves, springs etc...which I thought was a fair call and which I am more than happy with....(because I am no dyno queen)

260kw for the street is just about right for the street in my opinion and the car runs like a dream....very smooth....and torque curve has improved quite a bit.....so yeah.....happy days :P

LOL thought that driveway was snow at first glance.

And for wheels - SSR SP1 / 3pc Meisters with black centres ftw.

Will fill guards nicely espesh with your little side skirt thingy :rolleyes:

"super black coat" on that link. would b hawt imo

and lol yeah i thought it was snow too

and also - U changed the lights we did for you!

@ Simon - Thanks for the troubleshoot (damn video was refusing to upload - but got there in the end)......

@ Jonno.....yeah I did...but will be putting back the green LEDs soon.....they looked better (naaawww)

Here we go.....a video I completed last night....a quick summary of this thread basically

Michael scan that book and PM "on edge" a little teaser every day..hahha.....but on a serious note....thanks for sharing...interesting to know.

And in other news.....................

Damn thunderstorms and rain have put all painting on the back burner......

so not expecting any "developments on that front" (see what I did there) :P

The car is really nice to drive now with the new tune................tested the high boost setting the other day and "its awesome" would be a polite way of describing it.

For all those people who think their tune is "slightly off the mark"....it probably is....the weather plays a big role it seems....and I can vouch for that...tune in summer and tune in winter.....A LOT DIFFERENT.

Anyway I am happy..she comes on strong....runs beautifully even on cold starts etc...and sounds awesome on full song.

Have really been spending a lot of time researching rims.....I want work meisters but cant justify buying them at this stage..so more saving involved or I will have to find an alternative. Going to go to Vision R for some trial fitting soon...will post updates.

Oh bought and strategically located an airfreshner thingo this morning.....dont want the car to start smelling with all this damp and cold weather we are having :nyaanyaa:

Stay tuned..................

OK I NEED ADVICE from all the wheel gurus.......

Plan to go with ^^^^

18 x 8.5 fronts +29

18 x 9.5 rears +24

My big concern is the backs will stick out too much?? Thoughts?? The other option is +37 so no inbetween for the rears.

I havent clicked on this thread for a long time and my god I am glad I did!

The car looks amazing and is exactly the image I am aiming for with my 33.

But instead I am going matte black :rolleyes:

So it will be getting the re-trim and all that jaz.

Also around the same numbers we are both pulling.

Have you got a dyno graph we can see because that would be great

    • 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).
