38mm will be fine so long as you plan to run a decent amount of boost.

low boost + big turbo needs a bigger gate

GT35 size turbos don't really belong on a RB25 street car. a .63 rear on a GT35 turbo is a mismatch. Too much compressor, too little turbine.

GT30 with a 0.63 rear housing would be nice on the street but 0.82 will give you better top end and a few more usable top end revs.

You could always go GT30 with .63 rear and E85 + 22-24psi externally gated for around 330+ rwkw peak. usable boost would come on just before 4000 probably. That would be a mean street car

I agree, you can get away with a 38mm if the flow into it is optimised. Just welding it on a 90 won't cut it.

There is perhaps 200 rpm between the housings, there are also other housing options if you are going external gate. The Taiwanese stainless Tial knock offs are pretty good from my testing, and Kinugawa make some good ones in various sizes.

The kando 10cm is 1/3 of the price and gives you an inbetween size (.7x)

I've used the kando 12cm (.89) on a GT30 core and so far have found zero drawbacks. I have also seen a few in action and results indicated they did exactly what the specs implied.

Far better value in total if you buy a garrett CHRA and kando housing separately.

I've got a brand new kando gt30 12cm for sale at the moment with Vband. You should use thar ;) 150 delivered.

Also have 3076 but with internal gate .82. Don't want to seperate it.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
