Heya Everyone! I have the most amazing news! I won highest Horsepowered 6 !!! YAY!!!

Got a nice trophy and some promo girl pics with cars.. waiting for them to be developed but some should be on the perth-wrx website...

OK the dyno was running EXTREMELY LOW!!! so much so a R33 GTR Vspec II with boost wound up to 1 bar only got 170 rwhp!

Mahy people were asking for re dynoes coz things were just too low...

However must give credit were credit is due the Formaz dyno team did really well! with over 120 competitors i did not see 1 stuff up and were always proffesional. so thats there free plug :-)

Congrats Dan!

Saw your car ONCE at motorvation hey! and that was on the sunday super cruise... talk about hard to find!

Sidenote: Did anyone notice: What happened to announcing scores over the PA?, with 100+ people craning to see the monitor screen, wasn't good.

Yeah they did have a mic on saturday but no one could here it anyway so i'd say they just packed it up for sunday.. hahhaah ahh yes the super cruise..... i did a burn out on saruday and got the most diff bounce i've ever felt... didn't want to do that again so i just drove it nicely on the final one on sunday! everytime someone did a burnout in front of me my car would COMPLETELY fill with smoke and then they would break something!! Orange datsun complete driveline snapped on saturday in front of me!!!

Onya Dan.....

Well done  

I didnt find Formaz THAT low

I got 296rwhp on it and adam32 has 270 with his RB20

Thats all a stock but boosted GTR is good for on a dyno that reads properly, shared between the 4 wheels.

Yeah i know! The funny thing is that Vspec GTR that i mentioned which only pulled 170 rwhp had pulled 250 rwhp on the EXACT same Dyno a few weeks ago.... he even couldn't beleive it..... many of the V8's were getting there mates to sit in the back coz they though the wheels were sleeping but they were still getting low readings.... strnge.... then again wheel slippage can be a VERY big factor especially since it is a car show and every person that was on there had armourall'd there tyres!

Yeah i know mine aint the most powerful thing out there but i was happy to take the trophy and know that i have 60 more HP that a R33 GTR Vspec:uh-huh:

Cabin Auto salon is where I'm hoping I will be getting sweet real figures at though boys... Thats what I'm shooting at next time.... ND4SPD is doing pretty well though... dunno what my end result will be but money like most people is also an issue in this.....

Cabin is a ricers paradise..... i give it NO respect.....

What was your horse power reading........ Dan you must admit the dyno was set wrong if a GTR is reading that low..... Anyway well down.. i didnt see you there... i was with Perth WRX most if Sunday........

Daniel

Ahhh spewin Dan! I didn't think you were gunna be there!!! Yeah the perth wrx girls had some pics taken with my car on saturday.... i think one of the boys had a bad photo of one of em but when there was 4 of em draped over my car it wasn't bad! I was hanging out a lot with the subaru dealership guys there aswell.... sussing out the darkside for us skyline owners... unfortunately some of us turn to the dark side don't they Dan ehehehe!!

Xspeed R34 Gtr ushing out 550 rwhp aint that ricey to me when at cabin!:lol: I do admit though the judges certainly do like ricey stuff!!!!!:uh-huh:

    • 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).
