No Crust Racing

Few new pics added at the bottom of the first post

There's no bleed valve anywhere I can see (doesn't mean one doesn't exist just can't be easily spotted). The car is going on a dyno in the next week or two and I'll have some more conclusive numbers for everything then. Besides turbos car has full exhaust, apexi panel filter, Impul chipped ECU, splitfires, iritop plugs and seemingly more boost as far as power mods go. They could be hybrids yes, doubtful though I'd think. Where's the part number located so I can cross reference it. To know what the turbo's spinning down after the engine stops sounds like I'd need a basis for comparison so can't comment on that.

I know the restrictor is in place coz i have taken the hose offand looked at the little olive pip inside the line. I'm not sure that it's actually 13.5psi but 700mmHg on that guage is approx 13.5psi and the guage reads 7 under full boost. Yay R34 GTR turbo's, so they're ballbearing but still ceramic right? Where am I looking to see if I have the restrictors?

C'mon guys someone has to know

I was able to get these pics, can someone tell me anything from these? Actuator looks stock (still trying to work out where my boost is being controlled from) Writing says Garrett AR .53 1-2 on it (are these stock R33 GTR units?) Included a pic of the compressor if that helps at all?

Some good reading there guys and I appreciate the feedback. Still have a few unanswered questions though. - Can the R33 GTR Guage read above +7? (I know I should get a boost gauge for it and I'm going to drop the front drive shaft and fuse and put it on a local dynodynamics dyno to see what AFR's, boost and power are doing) - Can someone confirm if the Garrett AR .53 umbers on the turbo housing are right for this car as I've got conflicting info. EDIT: - How is boost being controlled if the restrictor is still in place as I thought 9psi was factory and if the guage is reading +7mmHg then that's like 13.5psi? Cheers

Was swapping over an AFM just before and I could see the front turbo housing. I could make out Garrett and A/R .53 Is that right for a Series II V-Spec?

- With regards to the guage... Could the needle actually go above 7 if the car was making that boost, does it go above and beyond the 7 on the guage or is there a pin/needle/stopper in place to stop it reading off the guage. - Why don't RB25's ingest the ceramic dust then? - What am I looking for if I remove the inlect ducting? - What are 34 GTR Turbo's worth? - how long have you been running a bar for and on what model GTR Thanks! Edit: So how is boost being controlled if the restrictor is still in place.

Yes I've searched and I've read a lot about this topic but I still have some queries I'd like clarified - car is a 96 GTR V-Spec. It appears my car is not running stock boost as the stock guage is maxed out under WOT (I think that equates to around 13.5psi - is that gauge limited or would it go above 7 if it could?) From what I've read GTR turbo's do not like being boosted above 1bar (14.7psi yes?) which puts me close to the maximum limit of the turbo capability - oh dear. For reference the stock boost restrictor little olive thing is still in the line so I'm assuming the chipped ECU is controlling boost - it's an Impul unit. I've also read that GTR's ingest the ceramic dust and often times can a blown turbo can cost you a motor - how does that work given it's the exhaust wheel that's ceramic? I'm also wondering if there's a chance these turbo's were high flowed - is there any easy way to tell this without pulling them off as I also read that removing them vastly increases the chance they will die. Ok so I've asked... - Is the stock boost guage limited in it's range? - How do RB26's ingest the ceramic dust from a blown turbo? - Is there any easy way to check the turbo's for any modifications? - Just decided I'd like to know if 34 GTR turbo's are a worthwhile upgrade(what are they worth? I know the only main difference is they're ball bearing) considering slide can do a pair for $1500 that are good for 300kw's and are steel wheel. - What experience have people had running 1 Bar on stock turbo's? Some of you will know that I'm selling my car but given that I'm not trying very hard to sell I'm still toying with upgrade ideas and continuing the maintenance cycle etc. Cheers

You say that like it's a good thing....

LoL Crap I thought these seats were getting tighter...

As long as compression is more or less even you're fine.

Welcome to the crew. RB power FTW =D (if only Skylines weren't so heavy!) *puts flame suit on..*

As mentioned in the original post there are other reasons why I'm selling the car. I'd appreciate it if people could refrain from posting unless they have genuine interest in the car. Happy to hear what you have to say via PM/Email.

350z: No log books sorry so can't confirm the K's. Compression test was excellent when I bought it and I'd be happy for it to be done again, no wear on interior besides some discolouration on the driver side side bolster from being rubbed against. Seeing/Driving the car gives you a much better impression of condition than K's on the odometer though and this drives and presents very well. Cheers

I had 18x8.5" +35 w/ 235's on the front of my Series II (18x9.5" +?? w/ 265's on the back) Front's were fine other than a full lock turn coming down a gutter or something, would just rub the inside plastic. Back's required some very minor lipping of the guard. Hope that helps.

That's fine for a GTS25T GTR's are lower numbers, 10-20 range.

*raises hand* Yes please

Woa, that's a bit much! I'll happily get a scan of my policy when I'm home tonight if you need proof. From what I've heard with my mates trying to go through Shannons, you get shafted if you're young. Seriously though, 3k is a joke!

Just Cars quote for my first GTS25T was over 2k and Shannons did it for 900 with the exact same info. I'm not sure how that works and not saying you arew wrong, just relaying my experiences with the two. I'd say speak with them both and see how you go.

I had my Series II GTS25T and My Current Car (S2 GTR) done with Shannons. GTS25T was about 900 including my mods (I'm 24 w/ rating 1) and the GTR is a bit over 1k also inc all the mods.

ROFL A domestic sedan is basically a wagon/van/suv when compared to the GTR It's the right size for what I do.

Acquired - thanks!

LoL! That's an AWESOME Idea =D Get to keep my RB26 power lol. Something about driving a wagon though.... =\

As stated, just need one but if you've got two and don't want to seperate then maybe we can work something out. Cheers
