Jimbo, I actually thought it was larger than 10mm for the bigger pipe diameter option.

Basically the Greddy unit is available to suit N/A or Turbocharged cars.

From memory, it was available with either 9mm or 15mm hose, the larger diameter being for use with turbo cars.

booritz:

check this page,

http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartli...ntake=FI#engine

...down under the head gaskets and injectors, there's 2 types, the 500ml squarish one and the 1000ml round one.

since i'm a sceptical guy i thought i should go for the square one for 2 reasons.

1. i've seen the square one before and thinks it looks the money and

2. i dont trust something when it boasts more yet is cheaper than the lesser product.

you know what i'm saying...

ps.

i'm actually buying from Nengun as its cheaper and they support SAU, just using this page as it explains it better

Jimbo: I know the ones, I had a good look at both while I was in Japan.

I have only seen the squarer versions on sale here.

I just checked the Greddy offerings and I stand corrected, the round shape tanks have a 9 or 15mm option, the squarer tanks have a 6 or 10mm option.

Bare in mind the hose that comes with the kit in garbage and probably wont be enough for you anyway, as tosh said, UAS has some spring reinforced hose that perfect for such an application, or you could go the braided option which is considerably dearer.

I have the square one in my 33 gtst

It came with 15mm connection

The hose that comes with it is generally too short

I found to buy new hose, I could only get clear 16mm that is oil resistant.

When you use the 16mm hose the earl hose clamps that come with the kit will not fit. too small in diameter

So I end up buying s/steel braided 3/4 hose 6 feet long and 7-off speedflow hose clamps total cost was about $130

If you use 5/8 braided line which is the closest to 15mm to suit the oil catch can, it will not fit onto the pipes on the top of the engine, that is why I went for 3/4

there is 2 ways to plumb up the hose to the catch can

I decided to replace all the hoses on top of the engine so it all matched

I removed the metal tee piece of pipe from the exh cam cover and reused it.

I then got another 90 deg bend the same as the inlet cam cover from another engine and inserted it into the exh cam cover. I then joined the 2 cam covers together using the tee peice. Ran 1 pipe to the catch can, then ran 1 back to the inlet where the factory one originally joined.

I have attached a photo that will hopefully make it a bit clearer.

it is not the best picture, but it is the only one of got at the moment.

      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).
