I think Theo's R32 has just been upgraded to one, must be capable of a fair amount (there was some actual testing data posted on Mario's section on the FF boards, but has since been deleted?). IIRC it was worth 1350 hp... damn expensive support systems!

PM Theo.... he bought the first one that Advan brought into the county and would be able to tell you if they are a good thing or not. It was fitted to his car at Jamobree but mechanical problems had him sit in the parking lot :):(;):( Would have been nice to see what it goes like now

The T88-38GK is the best thing i have done. So far we are at 28psi and have made 721hp at the tyres, that is about 938 at the fly wheel. As far as driving on the street i think it way to big. As the boost does not come on until about 5500rpm. Jambaree we ran 9.759 @ 151.26mph on sunday morning. Just don't think the turbo will do it for you because you will need to upgrade the intercooler as well.

Need any help at all just call 0418742486

Theo

So it must be wrong...
about 938 at the fly wheel.

Seems like Theo has about 100 bhp to go to make the Trust quoted output, looks to me like the Trust quoted power output isn't too far wrong.:)

BTW, how did you calculate the transmission losses Theo? The 217 bhp seems a little high, based on my experience. I would have expected around 110 to 120 bhp with a dog box.

    • 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).
