Hello!

Writting from Spain regarding passing emissions here. Bear with me in this wonderfull and amazing trip that is doing miracles to be able to drive your car one more year.

To put you into my perspective my "goals" are: 0.2% CO fast idle (3k rpm) and 0.3% CO idle. Also lambda can´t go past +-0,03. I so happens, I won´t pass inspection.

Last week got 1.11 and 1.04 respectively and 1.053 lambda. While my AFR gauge was showing 13.9-14.5 AFR.

Was able to track down the lambda discrepancy because an exhaust leak, but don´t know good and effective ways to knock down those CO emissions since can´t realy move AFR much and here in Spain e85 is quite limited.

Currently running the following mod list:

z32mafs, apexi pfc, arc intercooler, n1 r33 turbos, 700cc sard injectors, and sard cat. Stock bottom end and head. PFC shows voltage variation on lambdas and mafs so I would say all are ok.

Car had been on a lift for 6 months without running and went straight into inspection.

I heard that retarding ignition can help with this sort of issues, but don´t know by how much.

Any other tip, or thing, or product I can use to get lower CO values while keeping AFR untouched?

Thank you all in advance!

You should be able to get rid of all the CO by removing fuel.  Don't trust your AFR gauge.  Put a proper 4 gas analyser on the car (you'll need to find a workshop with one).  Running stoich or very close to it should produce very little CO.  Might make a shit tonne of NOx, but you didn't ask about that.

I say "should", but you have 700cc Sard injectors.  These are, to put it politely, shit.  You may well find yourself needing to replace them with something modern to try to get a better spray pattern at low pulse widths.

Well. Good news. Sealed the exhaust the best I could, gave it some revs for some time and luckily "passed" emissions. Idle CO 0.05% and 1.025 lambda, fast idle gave me 0.5 or something like that but... that could be because the sard cat not being enough (?).

Also I´m suspecting that my map might be not existant but I don´t know. I´ll be sending it for mapping in a couple of months or so I belive since here in Spain finding a competent tuner is quite hard.

      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.

      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).
