Hi. I'm thinking about buying an apexi avcr and installing it into my fully stock, auto r34 gtt. Will I have any problems in doing this ? Will it cause my ecu to go crazy? Couldn't find any answers I'm looking for in the forums so if anyone knows about any harm this could cause it would be greatly appreciated !

Not trying hard enough. Quite probably the single most over asked and exasperating question on these forums ever. I personally have answered it more times than I can count, and I can count quite a lot.

Would a re4r01a shift kit work? I can't find any for re4r01b. If someone has a link to a cheap seller of this item as well it would be greatly appreciated

Nope.

^^ This. MV do swap over valve bodys, but they had run out recently so I hear, as none of the customers had returned them. Worth a call anyway.

I contacted mv and they said they could do it for me if I send them my valve bodies. I don't want to have to go to a mechanic and leave my undrivable car there for a week while my valve bodies are getting work done to them over east. Do you guys think it's a good and cost effective idea to remove them and do the work myself? Also to remove the tranny would I need a crane or would I need to jack the car up ?

Once again thanks for all the help I'm getting , I really appreciate it !!

It's a messy job.

Dropping the valve body isn't that hard, but you need to keep track of where all the bolts came from for when you reinstall everything, and there are a LOT of bolts.

Package it well, otherwise you will need another transmission.

I tried a bleed valve on my stock GTT and it really didn't achieve anything to run more boost. exhaust is restrictive and I'm pretty sure I logged it pulling timing out using ecutalk. There was a noticeable dead spot in the midrange. That was only a small boost gain too.

Gotta do the other breathing mods first (exhaust/FMIC). I will be going Adaptronic / hypergear high flow / ID1000 after that anyway. Wheeeeee! :)

    • 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).
