when i drive on low boost 14 psi the power comes on more progressive, 231 rwkws on low does not feel like 231rwkws on high with the old gcg turbo, it feels less violent coming onto boost. on high boost 21psi theres nothing under 2500 rpm where it starts making boost , if you roll out in first gear or second gear with half throttle its very tractable but as soon as it hits 3000 to 4000 rpm the car will break traction . even though the car now with gt30 is 500rpm laggier than it was with gcg turbo , what it has lost down low it more than makes up for when she hits full boost! i think the car was a lot more tractable with high flow , but i think shes alot more fun to drive now.

with the addition of cams going from 260 rwkws to 277 doesnt seem like a whole lot but the car feels like a totally different car to drive, more midrange as well as top end. i thought that the 260 atwheels felt good but 277 rwkws is awesome. i cant wait to get some nittos and go drag racing at calder! i just think that the car is a lot of fun to drive now.

I dont know what setup you have but maybe you need to look into your suspension setup. Maybe your car is too low and this is shit for hooking up. I have a datto with this exact problem....230rwkw GT30 with 0.82 and the thing is useless in the first 2 gears... and i mean useless!!! In third it will spin all the way to 160 if I want it too.....but my car is TOO low and has bad CAMBER which will all change when I get round to it (slotting read end and raising it heeps). I have a stock 180sx and this thing hooks up very very well...to the point where it will on lift off and flat shift 1st to 2nd put you back in your seat and you can feel it in your neck (kinda like a wrex take off). Whats your suspension like?

tried gtech 0 to 100 again , the best i could do was a 5.8 second , that was with 3000rpm side step the clutch feed the power in , back of a tad as wheels break loose then change gear and half to three quarter throttle and breaking traction completely from 80 to 100 km/h. got home decided to check tyre pressure and realised tyre pressure still set at clost to 45 psi from being on the dyno. will lower tyre pressure for better take off next time . surely i can at least pull a low 5 sec 0 to 100 on street tyres??? did anyone see the recent test on hoosier drag radials in the lateset zoom magazine out now. their 300rwkw soarer went from 12.4 to 11.6 quarter mile and they are only 225/50/16s!

Sorry to say but you need some serious tyres. I got Toyo RA1's and they are sensational. Before i could spin everytime in 2nd gear with my old tyres, but when these things are warm, i can get full traction in first gear.

Tried 0-100 and got 4.7 with only one run. I cant wait to hit the strip for a low 12.

more power but 0-100 times go backwards. :D

My little old RB20DET used to run 0-100 in around 5.2secs, the rb30det making slightly more power gets there in 5.9secs. :D

First gear is completely useless, the 5.9sec 0-100 is launching at 3000rpm in second. Diesel power.. :)

Time for some decent suspension?

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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).
