yeh i understand about the dyno numbers and all, the car does drive well apart from fuel economy but thats to be expected and current set up was good for a 10 second pass but yeh more power would be nice.

i was looking around on rhd japan and they dont seem to sell the 22cm rear housings on their own anymore.

yeh ive already sent them an email the other day asking them what they think about my set up and just waiting for a reply. probably get it next week when they should be back at work

Heat treatments first hit the 7s with a T51R SPL, got to have been making some power to do that - was definitely over 1khp

Are you sure they did that with a T51RSPL? For some reason I thought they were on a GT45 or even 47R Garrett which given the level of performance of the car may have even been a special version.

Spent a little while then searching around; Yes GK and SPL are similar, GK has higher HP rating for the same level of response. T62R was made to (apart from other things) nudge out the GK, and naturally is bigger. The thing is though, for this discussion the SPL really isnt needed IMO, here's why; Garage Saurus using an old 34D ran in the 8's, so that's got to be enough power for Chris to enjoy :) .....or is it haha

Everyone here's 8's, 34D, Watch from 1.12.

I did ask him which rear it had when at his shop but it was ages ago and I forget. NYTSKY might remember, he was busy buying a bellmouth at the same time

    • 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).
