Congrats mate!

Amazing results

Get a vid for us to see how it comes on

Vids coming tomorrow... The full power runs etc were held up as the fuel pressure was dropping so they are doing a few things then running it up tomorrow.... I'm pretty pumped, the few people that have heard it said it sounds awesome!!!

Fuel pump out of flow? It would have to be close to the limit?

Yeah it wouldn't have much left in it.... But they said there is a restriction too, they are going to mod a few things and see if it improves.... Then just tune it so it's safe....

It must be an awesome feeling to finally have it going after 2 years of slowly getting everything done!

360rwkw is a shite tonne of power for a stock bottom end rb25det!

What size is your exhaust 3.5 or 4"? I couldn't see it in the build thread...

Thanks Lithium.... Real happy!! :yes:

Mitcho, the exhaust was a surprise, I figured it would hold the power back a fair bit so I unplumbed the gate etc, but it's only a 3" from memory.... The whole time I was worried but it didn't matter, apparently it may be the cause of the boost falling off and a bit of lag BUT it's a 90db exhaust so I can't complain!! :)

360rwkw thats a f**kload of power man, congrats..! I cannot see your sig from my iphone, is the engine completely stock or just the bottom end?

Completely stock with just Tomei Poncams.... It's all just bolt ons, awesome ecu and tuner and E85 working its magic... Stock headgasket, bottom end etc.... See how long it holds up....

Just read your sig, I've got 20bux on the clutch going first ;)

So have you taken it for a good drive yet? After this long it would feel like a new car, a very quick new car lol

I'm actually surprised it held up on the runs... Shouldn't jinx it as its got more work in the morning.... Tunes not complete, so no I havent driven it...

It basically is a new car, suspension, diff and power setup is all different.... And an extra 110rwkw for good measure!! :D

that's one clean looking engine bay, I like the kinda stock-ish look

It was my goal to make a high mount as stock looking as possible... It was only possible with the help from Alex @ Plazmaman and Craved Coatings, oh and Bronx for the airbox... It's everything I wanted... What the best thing is, I retained the quiet 3 inch exhaust which is legal DB so in 5 mins I can plumb back the gate and be legal.... ;)

Are you expecting any more top end from the final runs or is it just tidying everything up?

The boost was dropping off, so with the turbo and exhaust at their limit I'll be more than happy if it reaches that number again safely... The clutch would also be struggling I reckon...

Basically the runs will be to make sure the fuel pressure is safe as it was a concern I think... So glad it's with JEM tho, I know it's in good hands :D

The 3037 should be maxed at that power I think!

    • 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).
