hey mate, just want to say yours is the only red skyline Ive actually liked...so well done.. i normally don't like red on cars period :)

im running a simmilar settup to what your looking at... 720cc injectors/z32/nistune/atr43ss2 and im making 265rwkw at 18 psi but have a top end restriction so once i sort that out il be seeing closer to 300
its a great turbo man... lose a little bit of response but it kicks you in the face when it hits... as for the intake pipe i would seriously consider getting that replaced with a metal one at anything over 220kw (from past experience)

cheers man. keep working hard..

gtt master race mate! +1 sub

Timmy just asked him about it!!!! He said it should be sweet. Very excited. The old wallet is taking a beating.

My next problem:

Should I install my turbo and replace exhaust gaskets and drive up to central coast from western sydney?

or should I pay to have it fit in there..

There is a big price difference. Some people say its fine. Jez is advising against it.. I am unsure what to do

Yeah I wouldnt drive it untuned... or if you have too I wouldn't hit more then 3k rpm as well as not driving very far

Have a look around for cheap tow.. or maybe even see if someone on here has a car trailer you can flick some dosh their way.

Good luck either way mate itl be fun when its in!

i put a hypergear highflow on mine many years ago and drove it to the tuner.. going to central coast though you're bound to put it on some load going uphill which might be a risk

tow would be silly expensive.. If it was me 2 yrs ago I would of risked it if it was a relatively standard setup and done something like leave the actuator off so it was a pig with no power, would use a full tank driving that far easily though

Maybe I'm alone in having driven with my highflow fitted for around 6 months running on a 10psi actuator - the ECU seemed to handle it fine (I did disconnect the factory boost control).

If you had a bigger actuator / higher boost, that would definitely be a problem though.

Joey!!!

I wish I could as they are right behind my house. But they seem pretty busy for the time being as I haven't heard back from my enquiries yet. I decided when I go the e85 route and get an ecu I'll do it with them for the final form

Hopefully jez will help me with my daily duties for now.

Man you gotta go in and see them, they deal with bulk time wasters so at times they may be too busy to reply or call back. If you see them face to face the they know your serious. Even after all this time I always going in and have a chat to the boys if I need stuff done :)

They should still be there when you finish work and if you can't get Yavuz make sure you get a hold of Mark

Yeah that's probably why I think. That's fair enough. I've only heard good things. I have been there before a while back briefly. I don't know them personally though. I've already committed to jez. So we will see how it goes.

Put a leather steering wheel cover. Turned out okay

My leather was all cracked and spliting on my standard wheel so I put a JDM S15 wheel in wiring harnes is the same as r34 so the airbag & horn plugs straight in :)

    • 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).
