Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I did 120km yesterday on around 1/8 of a tank. Stock ecus are terribly rich at cruise. Skylines don't have to be terrible on fuel!

Mine gets about 9L/100km at cruise and about 10L/100km when I drive it around town. When I get around to a new ECU I'll definitely be getting a lot of attention paid the the cruise map settings.

Well know idea what mine us gonna be like..........but I have a sneakin suspicion it's not gonna be greatly fuel efficient

As long as it's better than Nicks 20L/100 for 200KW

But you all get more than me a week there is my problem :(

I had a dream I sold my car for 4500.... Woke up and went to ckeck my car was still there. Had me scared

Getting $4500 for yours would be a dream :P

Question... who has had a screamer pipe before? Ive always been against it due to driving my car a lot and it would be annoying. Now i wont be driving my car anywhere near as much im contemplating getting one for something different. As far as im aware there is no increase in performance having one..

I would think since your are releasing energy before the turbo there would be no performance gain. I know of someone in the Supra club with one but I don't know what she thinks of it other than she can't go to lakeside due to noise restrictions.

It will be ok, Sean pays attention to the cruise areas of the map in an attempt to keep fuel usage down, Your will be quite similar to mine I imagine.

The only advantage is if your exhaust is not flowing enough to cope with the extra volume of gas when the wastegate opens, in that instance it will allow you to control boost better.

    • 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).
