It was.

Linear, quick to fall back into its stride. I would 100000% prefer that than a set of -5's (let alone a set is RS's) on a stock engine. Makes me very curious to see what a 3582R would do on the same setup, being smaller.

That was an old dinosaur garrett Z, open scroll, single gate setup.

The Zs work well don't they.

Don't know what it is with the 35s but they don't seem to come back on as quick in between gear changes, where dyno sheets makes them look better than what they are in my experience.

Its good to see u experienced the Z first hand, dynos tend to lie about a lot of things, but its a fun turbo that's for sure.

Yet to see a GTW result that is half decent.

I would assume twin scroll, billet compressor wheel and ball bearings would make some difference compared to the dirty T04z you tested?

The old T04z dynos never looked any good really. People actually use to look at that and stay with the twins.

Old Z with a newer style billet compressor with a bit of cleaning up comes on 300 or so earlier. Pretty much what a GTW does, yet people always claim more response, like 500 rpm, yet to see it though.

Because most GTR owners run those T04z in single scroll.

To really harness any motor vs. turbo application is to go twin scroll to reduce back pressure on each pulse as well as rely on scavenging.

The more the motor breathes, the more torque and power it will make. Simple combustion engines 101.

I got into this car expecting the worst. Got out of it with a smile on my face.

I'm not shy to express my hate for 2.6L's. They suck. But I'd rather a 2.6L open scroll, dirty old Dinosaur T04Z than a 2.8L with RS's as much as I hate to say it.

Call it what you will. I'm VERY critical of a setup.

Garrett Zs are ball bearing

I wasn't having a go nor do I like RS's.

Was just saying that you would like the gtw more than the old z, dyno or no dyno considering you like the z and that generally has not so nice dyno curve.

Well, the same can be said about the GT vs GTX. And the jury is still out on those as they take a shit load of boost to reap the benefits. Yet to see a gtw impress on an RB in the real world. As piggaz found out the old BB Zs aren't as bad as people make them out to be and their performance aren't really reflected on a 4th gear WOT run on a dyno sheet. As with so many perceived laggy dyno sheets, the real world says different.

If I could draw a comparison.

The low end fell between a -9 and a -5, yet made 450 kW. This was the most basic jurassic park setup there is. A proper twin scroll manifold, twin gates, two scroll ass end housing would have made it better no doubt!

"Twins for response" is a little upsetting when a dinosaur open scroll Z punches hell out of -5's on an equivalent engine.

Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with you guys.

No idea what started the shit storm.

Pretty sure that's what I was saying.

Fairly certain they didn't used to be and can still be ordered without the ball bearing, no idea how old of a Z we are talking about though.

They were BB from about 10+ years ago, old tech with BB cartridge.

No shit storm, just a discussion, all good. Edited by XGTRX

Don't you have 04z setup in yours?

If so, is it modern 04 or? I'm curious now lol

As much as you say you don't we all know you love the little 2.6

    • 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).
