Hey, I've already psoted this in the VIC section but thought I'd psot for the rest of the SAU'ers out there.

I'm just after some hi-res pics of people who have a R33 GTR or GTS-t with their intercooler piping running from the drivers side where the washer bottle used to be (like in the photo below).

If you could PM me that'd be awesome :worship::cheers:

Cheers.

That photo actually doesn't make sense. Well, it doesn't look like it shows exactly what you're asking for. The turbo outlet pipe is the one that passes over the AFM and bends down behind the headlight. The cold side from the intercooler comes up to the plenum chamber. So I can only imagine that the pipe that crosses over in front of the engine is the BOV return pipe. Someone has put the BOV on the cold side pipe (which makes sense) and had to put the return pipe across the engine to the turbo inlet.

I know what you mean but I'm actually after a picture of the cold side of the intercooler piping passing through the chassis where the washer bottle used to be. :thumbsup:

Have some photos I took for someone wanting to run the same intake manifold as me a while ago.

Do these help much?

EDIT: some of the photos are older, you can see in the first photo I relocated my washer bottle (which is from an S13 I think) to the rear passanger side of the engine bay.

Ah, sorry. I kind of read it that you wanted pictures of an intercooler pipe running where that BOV pipe runs. Not reading too well today, am I. /Yoda

89Cal, you're a legend!! The second photo is pretty much the exact type of photo I'm after :worship: Thanks heaps for that mate, you got PM :thumbsup:

If anyone else has some they can share, let me know :cheers:

Just a FYI - Cutting such a hole in a '97 GTS-t, could end up with you requiring an engineers/VASS cert & major defect. Given the '97 came with airbags etc. It'll be at $1000 adventure at least just to clear it (VASS - $600, repair $200, + swapping parts $$$)

Something quite a few Vic people have been caught out on over the years when cutting non-OEM holes. :thumbsup:

    • 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).
