    I 100% would buy them if they can be shipped. Just fyi

    "Centre hole size" ? Also the idea is to buy a replacement before I take the current near-dead one off the car

    If I could have my time again and wanted a 7670 I would get the internal gate one. Mainly for piping reasons. I stupidly wanted EWG because the housing was bigger and wanted everything to be less hot, and I thought I could re-use my 45mm as a single. The IWG is probably just fine for 99% of people, I don't know if there's enough results to compare same turbo, same engine, IWG vs Single Gate vs Twin gate yet Maybe if more people buy the turbos we shall see

    I should add, the AC hard line fouls on the manifold. At least, it fouls on the T4 Twinscroll manifold if you fit it to a R34 GTT. Some posts have said you can "Bend it out of the way" but mine is hitting pretty solidly right on what is ordinarily a 90 degree bend up and out of the compressor. I don't have the car right now so I can't take photos of the setup. I expect a new hard line would need to be made up from scratch and put well, well, well away from the manifold itself. 50mm was in reference to single gate manifold, but again looking at where lines have to go and all of that I'm not entirely sure I'd want twin gates there either, it's all pretty tight and I'm a fair bit poorer from heatshielding heatshielding heatshielding.

    Sorry, I should say this is from a perspective of a 34 owner, Dunno if others are different!

    Fabrication is always going to be needed for your cooler piping and exhaust. 6boost is the closest 'off the shelf' you can get. Say goodbye to your AC though. You may get there with 400kw on a 7670. People have done more. Too close for my liking though. Single gate apparently you need at least a 50mm gate if you're going a 6boost. They will not warranty any less.

    Which AP Racing rotor is the D2/Attkd/G4 356mm rotor a copy of? As above http://justjap.com/attkd-front-replacement-brake-rotor-set-356mm-6mm-hole.html It actually has 8mm holes, supposedly this is the same as the D2/KSport/G4 style brake rotor. Does anyone know what this is in AP land? Trying to cross/shop/compare brands/see what is out there for a replacement but the AP site has a lot of information which doesn't match. Figured someone may know when it came time to replace a D2/Ksport rotor, or did everyone buy them from D2/Ksport/JJ Directly?

    From memory mine were 2-3 years old when they went on, which isn't critically messed up, but they were new, still had stickers and cling wrap and all that. Just heard stories that people would last 40,000kms on them or something similar, but it certainly doesn't appear that way for me and I DONT drive around the streets like a hoon. I reckon in that 8000kms on the rear I may have given it a squirt at most a handful of times, not breaking traction either. The only reason the fronts are sort of still semi-OK is because the inner shoulder is literally flattened out from camber wear. If I had less camber I'd wager they would be toast as well down the center. THey'd be worth the money if they lasted a bit longer, but I too was thinking about getting a 2nd set of track tyres in the future. So something that is 90% as "good" as an AD08R but lasted considerably longer would be a good street bet for me, and maybe less camber and more rotation of tyres. Only running -2deg up front mind you though. Does anything fit the bill here in 2017?
  10. Kinkstaah
    ^--- keen to know how they go. I currently have AD08R's and I'm not really very happy with them. Rears were toast from new with 8000km of driving and a track day. Fronts are at 12k now and aren't looking too hot. I don't mind changing tyres more often if it turns out more economical. Was thinking RS3 but if the NS2R's do better and last a year, it'd be interesting to see. Anyone else feel like confirming if RS3's really only last half as long as an AD08R?

    I preferred win 8/8.1 over the Windows 10 start menu. I hate Win10 start menu with a god damned passion, to the point where it's made me not care about the entire thing and left the start menu in a complete mangled heap and I just search for everything now. It just used to be so nice and organizable in the way you wanted it to be, now its just.. got options you can't undo, apps you can't remove, nested folders that show the way MS wants and jesus christ it irritates me.
  12. Kinkstaah
    Was going to say, didn't someone fit 375mm brakes to a 17? Depends largely on rim. LMGT4 and TE37 are good for clearance. How good though? Most people get wheels to fit brakes, not the other way around.
  13. Kinkstaah
    They overlap though, so even if there's 2x 6258's they're just walking into 8374/9180 territory. Could only imagine twins if going for truly stupid power on a 3.4L or something like that?
  14. Kinkstaah
    Is there a reason you can't just use the standard engine bay piping? I used the OEM pipes and made 420+ rwkw through an automatic gearbox.
  15. Kinkstaah
    I thought for some reason -9 or -5 were 2k or so each, I stand corrected then!
  16. Kinkstaah
    Other than stealthiness there's really no reason to buy more twins nowadays. If you buy two new twins, you could buy a single + manifold/fab to fit that for the same money. Obviously cheaper if you replace it by buying one single, but then again the real savings are in known good second hand turbos Still curious how a turbo can fail causing only a 9kw loss though? Maybe just detune the thing to 300kw and drive it around for awhile.
  17. Kinkstaah
    Buy my gtx3582 Sorry to hear about the turbo dude. How'd it actually fail anyhow? Being down 9kw isn't usually a sign of a completely failed turbo... seems to have only failed..... a bit?
  18. Kinkstaah
    My results won't be anything to write home about as the setup/goal is now super conservative. It's 7670 with T4 TS (1.05) EWG on a RB28 Neo, aiming at 300KW on 98. Will post up my impressions though, coming from a GTX3582 on the same motor, but most would expect a setup like mine to be a 8374 on E85 making 600KW but three broken blocks later I am just going wildly in the direction of overkill for safety Having recently driven a GTX3076R Twin Scroll on a SR20, I do wonder if a lot of the EFR joys is partly/mainly due to Twin Scroll joys. I would love to see a result as below on a single scroll EFR to see what the impressions were there.
  19. Kinkstaah
    Time to pull car apart and fit EFR tonight.. the nervousness is real.
  20. Kinkstaah
    I also would have said 7163 except for the fact that he wanted 220kw 7163 will get you 300, but it is still a very good unit for the RB20 that can rev out to 8K. It would generate a lot of "A rb20? This is a 20? Holy this is a great 20!" etc. ...but it'll make more than 220kw!
  21. Kinkstaah
    People like Havoc fabrication can weld you on a T4 TS to stock RB manifold... to which aforementioned turbo would bolt right on to....... I only say 6758 after driving a 2L with a GTX3076R on TS which I figured would be utter laggy shit for me to realise no, no it wasn't at all. 6258 would be closer to 220kw for sure, but I have this feeling the 6758 would be responsive enough and also provide more fun happy times. These things do not like being overspun and I'd go a size up to minimize that risk and let things run lazier than being right on the edge. Note: Never owned a RB20! Results may vary! But I still would expect using a BW6758 is going to be the best answer anyway, strongly, strongly doubt you'd regret it on there, it's about as good as a RB20 is going to ever get.
  22. Kinkstaah
    Is it? If it's absolute KPA I have seen worse......:p Pretty aggressive around 0psi, mind you. But you wouldn't expect it'd be bogging down as the symptom..
  23. Kinkstaah
    The turbo is an OK car. There are many more fun P plater cars. The skyline really is a non-special commuter car with cool looking styling in NA form. It *IS* a camry, if a camry looked OK. For a fun NA P plater car? Honda Honda Honda Honda Honda. Integra R, Civic R, S2000. Honorable mention to older Renault Clios/Meganes etc. See also: MX5. NC's are cheap and swapping the diff ratio to the USA one gets you a 0-100 in 6 seconds and a lot of fun doing anything else in it. Not a bad way to spend 4 years. Way better than a N/A R34. Source: Own a turbo 34 with a lot of things done to it. The lust for something super light and revvy that you can treat like a bad bad thing around corners is real, it is genuine fun.

    The truth about the EFR when I bought one, is I realised when you add a rear housing, and add a BOV that is decent, the EFR is actually as cheap/cheaper than a Garrett is. Not to mention the IWG is better still than the Garrett one is, etc etc. You even get a boost solenoid for your trouble. Fabbing can be a thing though, only the 7064 and 7670 onward fit a T3 flange natively. These are big units and 300kw++ Given how nice that GTX3076 I drove the other day was though... it would probably be prettty damn good on a RB20 which can rev higher than a SR20.. Otherwise the 6258/6758 are T25 flange, but it's nothing an adaptor wouldn't fix. 6258 is a 450hp rated turbo and 6758 is 500. I'd probably go the 6758 for more headroom but the 6258 will definitely do 220kw atw.. But honestly if the target is a usable 220kw atw, the answer is a RB25 high flow from Hypergear or contact scotty nm35 and see what he's doing with the impulse turbo over there. That will be a bolt on solution and all thinking from there on can just stop and it'll hit the target with extreme ease

    Would a BW be more responsive than a TS Garrett? Still think a 62/6758 will work better. That said, yesterday drove a GTX3076R on a SR20 which was a TS setup and honestly the lag was really a non-issue, which was great for a 280KW setup let alone a 400+kw setup that this one was. Is the RB20 really worse than the SR by that amount? I have a feeling any of the modern options in a twin scroll setup is going to be suprisingly good actually!
