Manuals are evil

No

Gladly, yours would no doubt pay a fair bit better than mine

Yes but it can be a shitty job

And slow ;)

No

well see about that uncle Natro

This

Only time an auto should be in a jap car is if its a 2 or 3 speed and used for racing.....

And this

Trannys are good - I love me some Trannys

FYP

Going to be keeping all the associated turbo parts off the 25 skyine incase s*it breaks

Suggestions a for turbos for the dirty? Don't know whether twin or single

Something that's 300 to 350kw max, more than that is fairly unusable without big $$$ tires and borderline too laggy for daily use.

A gt30 with a .82 rear will drive almost as nice as a stock turbo 25, just that it has 300kw instead.

I reckon if you go to the trouble of building a 30/25 then you should choke it up with a small turbo like a GT30.

To get the true benefit of the change I reckon a GT35 or larger is a must.

In saying that Ive never been in a 30/35 running a GT30 variant so not sure how it would drive

Inestment home or residence colin?

Still undecided yet. Its nearly 1k a week rental at the moment so it will be tough to let that go lol. Would still get decent rent if we lived there and rented a few rooms but we dont know yet.

Yeah Ants capt barrel roll is me so wanna get into another one

i had a 35 on mine, too much power for daily duties and enough power to make it about as reliable as a rotary. power came on hard at 3500-4000 and insta wheel spin on anything short of near new 255 semi slicks.

a GT30 with 0.82 would give near on stock turbo spool, but an extra 100kw, a 1.06 rear would tame it down from being so agressive onto boost, but obviously that comes with more lag.

GT30 size turbo is the SMALLEST you can go on the 3L without choking it.

check out the results AL from victoria got with his 3L with GT30, decent power/torque everywhere and the benefit of being able to keep it looking mostly stock if you wanted to, if i was to do my car again. thats the combo i would go for.

Guess mine will be interesting to steer then lol.

I'll have a look for those results. can never look at too many :-)

Congrats Col, I looked up 5 bed townhouses, I think I found the ad. Looks nice! If you are getting the stamp duty concession you need to live in it for 1 year with occupancy starting within one year, and renting out rooms counts as you not occupying it. Something to keep in mind!

these results. i believe the full specs were somewhere in a mountain long thread. but it was from memory it was running a 9:1 comp ratio with some minor head work.

Just realised that i haven't updated my results.

Officially the engine is now out flowing the turbo, but i will not change the combo for anything.

Below is my full tune as it stands now.

The car has been booked in for next week to get the following done:

- Change exhaust and see if any gains are made. Currently i have the more quiet exhaust fitted and would like to compare this result with the Apexi cannon exhaust system i have laying around.

- Play with my cam gears. I still have VVT active, but have modified the std gear to also be adjustable.

- Clean up the afr. Dips too low up in the higher rev range.

- Play with the boost settings, to come on harder on high boost.

- Most important: Find a pair of tyres that will hold traction on the dyno. So far i have tried 4 different pairs of tyres and all have lost traction on full boost at high rpm. I have tried: Hankook K104's, Bridgestone RE55s, Toyo T1R's and another pair of cheap ass tyres from another 33. Anyone know of a good pair of dyno tyres????

    • 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).
