Tools Needed:

  • 4mm Allen Key for Valley Cover
  • Pliers for Blow By Hose's
  • 8mm Socket
  • 10mm Socket
  • 12mm Socket
  • 14mm Socket for Strut Tower Bar
  • Ratchet with short extension

Step 1:

Once Strut Tower bar is removed, Use a 4mm Allen Key to remove the 8 bolts from the Valley Cover. Then use pliers to move the clip down the hose of the blow by hose.

Step 2:

Then use a 8mm socket to remove the transistor earth cable, Once that is Done remove the Connector off the transistor unit.

Old OEM Harness Removed

Step 6:

Installing the Do-Luck Harness, There are 3 parts to this: The Harness, Earth Cable and Direct Power Feed with Extension Cable.

First sit the Do-Luck Harness in place and connect the harness earth cable and the Thick Blue Earth Cable to the same coil harness earth point. ( Behind Coil Pack Number 6 ).

Next there is a Connector on the end of the Do-Luck Harness this connects near the intake side blow-by hose.

Step 7:

Connect the Thick Blue Earth Cable anywhere in the engine bay. I connected mine near the ABS system.

Now it all Connected Up double check that everything is connected and then reconnect all the transistor plugs and transistor earth point. Then reinstall Valley Cover and Tower Strut Bar.

Step 10:

Everything is DONE!! Start it up and take it for a spin.

Results:

When I started the car up the exhaust tone changed and then I gave it a few revs 3000- 4000 rpm and it wasn’t backfire anymore. Next I took it for a 15min drive up to 7000 rpm and it wasn’t backfiring under boost as it did sometimes.

More testing is required to see if it has removed the under 3000 rpm Miss problem and Backfiring under boost problem.

I will keep everyone posted on further result’s but so far I’m happy with the Result.

What's the performance difference between Do-luck and OEM ?

I see it says enhanced in the link - what does that mean - how ?

Never mind, Googled

Apparently uses thicker wire for better strength of signal/power (1.6x's thicker)

Coupled with the "direct wire" from battery (extra) improves voltage delivery.

Edited by Sinista32

Took the car out for more testing 70km trip and the backfire problem under boost is gone. The Under 3000rpm miss is still there but not as often.

My Setup:

  • Copper Core Spark Plugs 0.8 gap
  • Splitfire Coil Packs
  • Do-Luck Coil Harness

    • 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).
