I'll have the resonator chopped to look inside i reckon, i just assumed it was big enough, whole system cost me $200 from wrecker, its 3 1/2inch jap and had jasma rated cannon but stepped down to 2.5 inside muffler, so i put an Xforce 3.5inch on the back ... But ive got a HKS muffler from an R33 which i drove and it sounded proper angry and has the restrictor inside, sound is important to me atleast if not many others...

Mine is getting tuned on the 20th. She will crank 300 and unopened apart from pon cams. Will update when I have it back in my hands if she doesnt kick a leg out the bed!!

Well I didnt make the 300kw club, will go back early next year for more boost. 17psi straight off the gate and boost controller turned off got me 293.8kw.

Good work anyway!

I made 289kw so I also missed out on being part of this club

how can you not know what oil you are using lol

I can't remember what my mechanic used last time he did it. He specializes in RB engines, so I trust he put in the good stuff. 10w30 motul rings a bell though, but again, no idea.

Probably due for a service soon. Cheers for the reminder.

I hope not lol.

Have a look through the first few pages for oil reccomendations :)

Can't believe people still pay top dollar for big name brand exhausts when they are all known to have step downs and all sorts of restrictions.

Custom exhaust with your own choice of cat and mufflers every day of the week, it's a real no brainer.

cause it doesn't matter how many time people get told and shown they still choose to close their eyes and cover their ears in pure ignorance

Hmm, I would be interested to know difference in price also - custom v name brand. I know the tomei expreme is supposed to be 3.5" but It is very very very expensive for a cat back system (probably being titanium).

waaaay to thin, asking for trouble

For the power I am making, or in general?

My pressures seem to be ok. I had a look through "The goods on oils" page and it seems a lot of people are saying Nulon 10w40 is a decent oil. What would be the issue running that?

I'm doing my dump to tip in 4 inch at the moment.

$710 for two SMB mufflers at my size (the biggest I thought I could squeeze in there).

$435 for 6 m of 4 inch tube, 3 90's, 4 45 degree bends and a 3 to 4 inch expander.

Labour to do it, not sure.

Few bucks for hangers.

You only wanting a car back should be done in 4 to 5 hours with a good operator and half the amount in material.

Ive used nulon 15w50 full syn. in my 33 for years. Ive never had an issue. Plenty of street driving, and a lot of track work. Im only about to switch to Penrite 10 Tenths due to switching to E85.

I believe Nulon make a quality product. I also use their red coolant and power steering fluid. I use Redline Shockproof in my g/box and diff, but haven't looked at anything nulon offer for them yet. They'll be getting serviced before this rebuild is finished, so I might see what the have there.

I had massive issues with motul oils before that, hence the change.

    • 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).
