For reference, back in 2011 my 33 gtr with a built motor, good head t51r, full fuel system 1000cc injectors, and everything that should go with it was making 422kw on 20psi with 98

before going the full fuel system with surge tank and extra pump and to 4” exhaust, I think we maxed out out at 401 from memory.

Best bet would be to look through the dyno section for something with similar mods to you to get a reference of what to expect.

the end of the day a dyno is just numbers that can be fudged either way. True test of power is 1/4 mile

Immediately just lose the turbo timer so it doesn't give you problems one day. For the rest just try to track down a good tuner and post up the results!

Hang on, so does the car already have that list? Or is that to purchase?

 

No sane person would buy a power fc new nor those injectors considering the substantially better options available now. . If you already have them it's a different story.

 

 

And as above lose the turbo timer.

Haha yeh wow. Genuinely had to check if this post was from 2003 ?

 

OP, if your car already has those mods then just get the car tuned and be happy with where it ends up knowing that there is plenty of money to be wasted in the future chasing more.

Why get rid of the turbo timer? I thought they were a good thing for turbo engines to let them sit for a bit after driving before shutting off the engine.

And this is something that you cannot do for yourself? After all, it only needs doing if the car has been working the turbo a bit hard in the last couple of minutes before stopping. It hardly needs to be run to cool down on about 95% of stops.

@Berksgtr It'll get close to 400 rwkw or 380ish awkw on 98. T517 is rated closely to -5s. Unopened 26s have hit that target. It'll just be a tad laggy by todays standards. Will still be good. Gotta start somewhere! Congrats on the car :)

fair enough sure, but why get rid of the timer if he's already got it? The other post sounded like the timer itself would cause an issue.

Can attest to the shittness of turbo timers, I had one in the Skyline as a young pup. Caused all sorts of issues from not starting, to not switching off when the countdown reached 0, to being a parasitic drain on the battery, etc. Even after pulling it out, the loom has been hacked into, there's no making that reliable again. Its one of the reasons I undertook a complete rewire of my car.

 

Stupid things. Feel embarrassed to have had one. As GTSBoy says, try to think of the last time you boosted your car hard and then switched the engine off. It just doesn't happen, there is always 1 or 2 minutes of sedate driving before you park up that is far more effective than 30 seconds of idling. Superbly ricer modification.

    • 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).
