@Unzipped Composites and @ActionDan when considering the price of the AR1's, are they any good from a value point of view? I haven't tried them yet but the price makes them quite attractive.

Doing a quick google I'd start somewhere like here - http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/ https://justjap.com/ https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/ Plenty of other good options as well

I'm suggesting you measure the rotors on your car. Pop a wheel off and throw a tape measure over the rotor. In a few minutes you'll know what size rotors you have then you can order pads/rotors from an Aussie site, plenty of sites to choose from.

What size are the rotors you have on there now?

If you still have the stock ecu and stock injectors, a good replacement would be their "G2" profile https://hypergearturbos.com/product/nissan-rb25det-turbocharger-standard-high-flow-service/ Maybe consider using one of their donor turbos to save you posting them your current turbo. I'm sure they can post a turbo to the states.

What brake pads were you running and how did they hold up vs the AR1's?

Seems like we are talking about different things here. The OP was talking about terminating a cable. Dose and I are suggesting that crimping the cable would be the ideal way to terminate a cable. When I asked about examples of using solder, I was talking about in the same scenario. So for example, the connector into the back of my ECU has a crimped pin, wire, into crimped pins into a sensor. There is no solder there. If you look at a mil-spec racing harness, there is no solder there. Plenty of crimps, Raychem DR25, Raychem SCL, Raychem ES, epoxy resin, molded boots, probably some Kapton tape and no solder. I don't care if my microwave has solder in it. We were talking about terminating a wire, that is in a car, that is subject to vibration and a potentially harsh environment.

Well... what are your thoughts on a single turbo setup, having everything that can be anodised black (painted whatever) everything is black black black and very factory looking... once it's on e85 emissions are easy... What's the worst that could happen?

Thanks for the detailed reply, really appreciate it! I thought NSW was bad, I'd move states for sure if I had to deal with that.

It sounds like your in California? If you wanted the car to be street legal and have a single turbo, what would that involve? I'm guessing it's not as simple as having the car certified by an engineer? (sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm over in Aussie land and not familiar with your processes)

Did you have the car running perfectly on the lt10 before moving over to the lt8?

Can you give me some examples of when the OEM or professional motorsport teams are using solder?

Yep, park in a clear way and see what happens lol

It seems like this theft business is seriously worrying you. Keep in mind that if someone wants to take your car; they will. Your car will be on the back of a tow truck and gone in a few minutes. There is no anti-tow-truck alarm or immobiliser system. So if this is worrying you, some things to think about. Do you want GPS tracking with a notification system? Maybe just keep your agreed insurance value up to date?

I was really worried about cracking or damaging the connector doing that, maybe I'll just put my careful hat on and give it a shot.

Hi All, I'm having issues removing the connectors from my injectors, I was hoping to get some ideas before I consider pulling the inlet manifold off. I've got connectors 1, 2 and 6 off. These are the final 3 causing me drama. I'm squeezing the connector release as hard as I can but it needs more force then what I can do by hand. Should I spray the connector with contact cleaner or is there a tool I can use to get more leverage on the connector?

The only people that would know what a Plazmaman cooler is are enthusiasts... but if your an enthusiast, how could you bring yourself to do that... F*King can't believe it =/

Are you intending to use the genuine Nissan gearbox oil or are you seeking this knowledge to improve your trivia?

You'll need to get it engineered before you can blue slip it.

Thank you for the dataz ❤️ but you know I'm going to ask to see the timing map as well lol In the end was the 21 degrees MBT or was there still more in it?

I really want him to do it too. Then put up a build thread and document the life of a genuine 1000HP daily driver.

Love it, chasing 1000hp. Please post up a build thread. When you say it's going to 'be reliable' as part of your regular service maintenance, will it include things like an annual strip down of the motor and refresh? (provided the motor lasts a full year that is) You are in America right?

Because YouTube and Instagram told me RB's are indestructible and all make over 1000HP!
