hey stix

im doing identical setup except im keeping stock cooler pipes for the "its bog stock" look. did you need to change to hard pipe or just wanted to for obvious reasons.

what boost did you use for that power on 98

Problem with stock cooler pipes is they pop off with high boost pressure. It was something we had to do. Its sitting at 1.6bar for 402kw max injectors. 1.4bar is what it is set for the street.

ahh bugger the old hose blow off situation . side effects off boosts, was that using stock bovs? or were they blocked off?

ill leave my under tray off and always carry a few tools just in case lol

Actuators are what they came with. Havnt had any problems. Think spring rate is 1bar.

Yeah stock BOV's but they are at their limit now apparently. So if I upgrade my injectors I think they will be required as well.

Forged bottom end and a after market oil pump would be a must for me if i wanted to make the most of -5's.. No point in having -5's if your not going to 8000rpm.

I've seen results from well sorted stock bottom ends with -5's making power without reving past 7500 so when 9's dont cut the mustard theres no other choice really except 5s and chase response.

Oil pump gears are ok but forged bottom end not needed

The problem is there are to many people who want to build an engine because it make 10kw more then factory, when its been proven the rb26 will take over 400kw at the wheels without being forged

+160K stock engine with -5s + Poncam Bs making with no noticeable loss down low compared to previous 34R turbos + dialed stock cams, but big gains in mid/high end.

Upcoming E85 tune will bring even more fun times.

lol i accidentally quotd myself lol

but in saying that my engine is getting built with Tomei pump and the other usual shit to make the most of the 5's like you said earlier

undecided atm but is on the cards i do know if i go that route ill end up with -10s.

just wanna keep things simple n looking stock. last car i built n tuned myself was tidy as big power and cops f**ked me. so i bought a Ducati 1098s lets just say it turned me of cars altogether for years

    • 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).
