I can't see why a rb 30 with 300 rwkw wouldn't get 10 litres / 100 km as long as you stay off boost.

Definately something not right with your 200klms/tank economy Mafia.

My untuned pfc easily cleared 500 k's at cruise.

Might be a silly question but is your O2 sensor turned on in the ETC menu?

Unless you drive with your foot flat to the floor something's wrong - last dyno tune we did 160k's on the rollers and my '33 had just under half a tank left.

Hey mafia...

I had a similar turbo combo to you.. I had a rx7 rear wheel in a vg30 rear housing and the max i could get was 220 - 240 rwkw (depending on which dyno)

The guys said that the rear housing was way too small and that they were only good for around 230 rkw....

So you may have to go for a bigger rear housing ???

I since sold my turbo and got a gt3540 =) with .82 rear

Can i suggest a cheap fix, that can narrow down your prob?

Why dont you throw some toluene in the tank and get the tuner to do a quick wot tune. If its the fuel ron causing a low reading you will know straight away.

When hes finished just reload your old maps :D

did the .8 housing make any difference in power and detonation levels?

hey mafia, iv read your WMI closely over the last few weeks.

im actually quite intruiged. i have the SAME car as yours except its stockish :)

full exh and filter putting just over 180rwkw on like 10psi or so. running everything stock inc ecu etc

are you able to post up some pics of the installation please? i had a look at ur old threads but the pics wouldnt load up.

i was planning on getting the Stage 2 Boost Cooler™. so how i understand it is with my setup, i wouldnt expect any power gains? since i wouldnt be altering the boost levels at all(for now).

feel free to email me pics etc if possible [email protected]

    • 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).
