Progress !!! New blitz return flow intercooler- wasn't happy with the over pipe from the old one

Put up the factory airbox- I believe it gives me colder air which may be more important than hotter air with larger surface area.

Upgraded to a hpi evolve aluminium radiator. (Awesome)- Yes it was a tight squeeze but factory fan shroud was retained.

New turbo is in the process of being ordered.

Also please feel free anyone to let me know about some reputable nistune tuners in Sydney.

So far have contacted

Unigroup

I'm also keeping my eyes peeled for some drop in injectors. Id1000 would be awesome. But Depends what will come

I want to be e85 ready. But my aim power wise would be around 250-260rwkw first up. I'll be running 98 for now.

My key goal is to create something reliable and bullet proof. I want my tune to complement my supporting mods. The reason being is because it is my daily.

Ah I see. I read this too late ! I have committed to dvs jez in feb for the nistune etc. I'll let you guys know about my with him when i do it.

Thanks for all your help guys.

My next questions are:

I'm having a little bit of trouble sourcing a metal intake pipe that will allow me to keep my plum back bov setup etc. I will be talking to the boys down at kustomkraft about it and maybe they can fab up something for me. If you guys know anything please let me know.

The second question is. I'm trying to source a genuine z32 afm. However I can only find some on eBay with some adapters etc. where do you guys get your afms? Could you send me in the right direction.

You'd be well taken care of with Jez.

Nice list of parts and I think your power goal is very achievable.

NB: not too sure about the GKTech fan. Have seen mixed reviews about it on sau.

I am also having problems sourcing a metal intake pipe to suit standard turbo as I am running a highflow with a z32 AFM. Any one running a metal intake pipe? I got my Z32 AFM from a FB JDM sale page or you can get one from Japan just make sure your not getting a fake one if the price is to good to be ture it most probs is.

90deg alloy pipe with a 2.5"-3" reducer. If you want the bov return, weld in a piece. And if you're still using the cam cover vac, weld that in also.

Car is looking great sandy! I'm sure JEZ can sort you out, he has done fantastic work on friends cars in the past.

I cut the original hard pipe at the C loop on the bov return, then used some oil hose to connect it all back up. The bov return goes through the power steering line and the turbo hot pipe. The cam cover line was placed next to it. You can pretty it up easily enough.

Talk to Scotty nm35 here about the intake pipe, he'll fabricate you a good one in no time. I'm pretty sure he can sort out your injectors too.

Also I'm running Hypergear ATR43SS2 from Stao, great product and support, recommended. Currently making 275rwkw on 98, dyno sheet and supporting mods here.

Nice looking car btw!

EDIT: If you're happy with around 270rwkw on PULP/300rwkw on E85 you could also consider getting your original OP6 turbo high flowed by Stao. Then it's all plug and play to existing piping etc. which will save you several $$ in workshop labour (unless fitting yourself of course).

Fellas!

Firstly I would like to thank you all for your extremely helpful input. PICTURES help me out so much!

I have so many questions but a lot of them are being answered.

Mr Fijigold (i was born there and I love the beer ha!): Some people said the g tech fans were quite loud but they cooked well ?

I'll talk to kustomkraft tomorrow morning. Paul and mark are extra helpful and then I'll message Scotty for some quotes.

For all those newer guys that pm me and asked why we need metal intake pipes. *correct me if I'm wrong* it doesn't necessarily give you gains. It just prevents the rubber stock pipe to get sucked closed at higher power levels allowing you to continue sucking in air.

Thanks again for the intake pics and advice and the compliments!!

I'm still not convinced that a metal intake pipe is required all the time - though I acknowledge it does depend on power and boost levels.

For reference, I'm pushing 245.7rwkw with a high-flow turbo and the factory airbox. I asked my tuner (Martin at Wlilall Racing) when he was tuning it about Z32's and metal intake pipe - he said unless I wound the boost up quite a bit more, they weren't necessary.

I guess each car is different, maybe see what your tuner recommends?

Yes I understand your point. I was just reading up on what people say.

From what I've read people have :

Experienced a loss of power after 5000rpm over 250rwkw because of pipe sucking closed

Experienced nothing ( but most are not over that 250rwkw mark)

Many higher boost/power applications are using metal or reinforced silicone or that sleeving method.

So many weird reviews and opinions.

    • 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).
