So the 30K was her quote to fix.

they disputed it and had them do cheaper repairs on some areas than she wanted to get the cost down.

know she wasn't happy with the first time getting it back, and then issues after they attempted to fix that, not sure where it at now however.

Bit of both

It's a visitor space he's parking in (even though he's a permanent visitor; his girlfriend lives in the complex) and the guy in the visitor space next to him is parked a fair way over too. His car is simply too big for the limited space left for him. If I wasn't hugged up against the other side of my space to keep my distance from the visitor cars (clearly this is working) then his oversized hipster douchebag utility wouldn't even get in there.

My black car doesn't move so I don't care about him blocking me in, but I've seen the way this kid drives, like a fkin retard, and I don't like it, or seeing him park this close to my car. I don't believe someone is guiding him in and it's only a matter of time before he hits a car down there.

WWDD - What would Dezz do - do that

Barry believes it, with E85. RB26s with 98 make about 340-350 with GT-SS.

It's pretty unlikely but you sha'll find out in time, we built a RPM 2.8 with -9s and it made 360kw on E85. I think it could have been pushed harder than that for sure with the right fuel setup and exhaust.. but 400.. pretty unlikely with those turbos without straining them.

Interesting

Steve 34R aka R8TED only made 317kw on the racepace dyno on e85 and -9's. Not sure what the norm is, maybe Matt Borci will throw in his 2 cents

Must be thinking of someone else, Steve's never been to Racepace. I remember he did make like 235kw when he switched to E85 and a tune he was telling me at Sandown last time I was there... was hard to hold back the chuckles at less than stock 98 power with Ethanol...

That might be Hamish's racepace dyno theory coming into play

Previous owner of GTR dynoed it with the GT-SS and said he got about 350awkw - could easily have been full of shit but even close to that I can see another 50kw from another 400cc and E85.

In any case I'm not too worried - I have no doubts I'll end up with -5s down the track but definitely wanna see what the small turbos can do in the low and midrange with the big engine. I think it'll be linear like standard XR6 turbos, only with a bucketload more pull.

Also when you say "we built" you really don't need to call it an "RPM 2.8" lol

They can throw a pair of turbos on any old 2.8 that rolls in the door, the RPM 2.8 is a specific base build so we at least know what mods have been done to make it a 2.8, if its been ported, etc

My bad he just mentioned racepace in his comments.

    • 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).
