What is your new setup?

Nothing too exciting, stock bottom end NEO with new bearings/spool crank collar/spool oil pump gears (so I can rev the tits out of it). Crank will be balanced too.

Basic head work, one of Tao's prototype SAT turbos. I'm aiming all in by 4k, and 420~440kW.

The plan was to keep it stock looking and make as much power as possible with -5s because it will be a weekend car, Then when I get over the power I'll go single turbo.

But picking a cam for both set ups seems nearly impossible.

Damn! That will be an expensive exercise! 

Why not do it once and do it right? 

Keep the boost down on the single then turn up the wick when you get bored of the power?

Do you have the 5s already?

What sort of single will you be looking at? How much power do you want? RPM limit? Where do you want you power to be? 

How long do you plan on keeping the -5's?

I already have the 5s, just need to make dump pipes,
it should not be too expensive of an exercise, i am welder/fabricator, so basically my time and bolt ons.

I was thinking something like a gtx35
if i go single 500kw anything close would be good, i think i have high exceptions tho.
would like to be safe as possible also. 8000 rpm

Has your head been relieved for a high lift lobe?

What springsdo you have and are you willing to change them?

    • 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).
