Few months later this happened, poor thing :/

New turbo on and shit, still to be tuned properly.

Larger wastegate and headstuds, fix the flex fuel stuff, battery relocation and a continue to tidy the engine bay more. I bought another gtr shell as a project track car so i suspect this motor will go into that car.

love the wheels, my head is slowly moving away from the meister/professor style of stepped lips and bolted centers (which i still hrrrng for) and really appreciating smooth spoked/ concave wheels.
and those are a nice classic.

So due for a little bit of an update. Drove this around for a day to tune it towards the end of march and found:

Alternator no longer works properly when it gets warm, resulting in low fuel pressure etc etc

Bovs are open at idle and dont seem to like holding pressure

Aparently i cant run any less that 23ish psi without pulling the gate out to replace spring (ran 14psi before no worries?)

Solved all these problems by removing the interior........ Well in my mind at least.

Plan is to run NSW time attack for a laugh, probably need to get some tyres sorted haha. So weekend just gone removed seats and vacuumed carpet, removed amplifier and unnessisary cabling in boot. Started to remove interior trims to fit harness bar and continue wire tidy. Still have to fix above mentioned problems before it gets tuned again but at least i have a course of action.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
