I was running 285s on a 10.5 rim with AD08s, never had any issues at all with tram lining in the dry. The car would jump around a little if there was a major deviation in the road, but any car will do that. Wasn't running too much camber and just a good alignment from Racepace (their own mechanics do it), same alignment i had when i took it to the track, so it was all purpose and worked. I ran 32psi in them for street duties. I did have alignments done by a few other places, everytime they just couldn't get it right and it would drive like rubbish. Perhaps give a GTR expert a go, rather than places that work on all cars? That said in the wet it would tram line a little bit with such wide tyres, as the AD08s are especially wide due to a nice sidewall, however it really wasn't a major problem at all, even when i had 265 semi's on the car (was a little more squirmish in the wet, slight movement in the dry, overall still easy driven)

Yes indeed, i mean asking if the turbo kit would bolt on is a major worry...

It looks like any other radiator dude...

Call Racepace then, they have an item tri-pass item for a very affordable price. Half the price of a PWR item which is basically the same thing

Logitech's for some reason get rave reviews (about a lot of their products). When largely they are a bit rubbish. That said i have a G15 and a G9 which are both great and have stood the test of time, but i wouldn't touch a lot of other Logitech stuff

Whats the budget?

I've been overseas for 2 weeks and haven't driven it in 3, i doubt it was mine

Don't dare look @ your crank angle sensor - you'll have another heart attack!

6boost low-mounts are far from a bolt-on affair. I suggest you start using the search function, most of what you've asked has already been covered in great detail (including the issues with the 6boost GTR low mount manifolds, pictures and all!) End of the day it's your money. If you have a budget, and want best bang for your buck - stick with the stock plenum/stock manifolds. More than enough users out there now proving the combination works. By all means drop another $4000 - but for the plenums 1.8% - $2000 is a bit steep. You'd be better off putting the $2000 towards a stroker in the cost vs gains department as they are simply a waste of money unless you have an endless budget and are chasing every 1% of performance... Which for a street car/application - simply isn't the case.

One can only try Hambo, it just reasserted their position - and now the car community will give them even less support Looking like it'll be a VY SS, exhaust/intake/diff gears. Mate of mine tunes them so that'll be free. Should be around 220rwkw which will be good enough for a daily (will keep stock rims on it etc) and still have a bit of poke when needed. I'll probably be doing a lot more KMs in the next 2 years so getting auto/cruise control will be win

Once you have a timing light, then you adjust based on what it tells you...

Well the way I see it - If Nismo (with their budget & race information) only attained 1.8% and better flow to the rear two cylinders from their upgrade item around your power levels... I cannot logically see how another brand would significantly beat that (and 15-40% is massive claims). If you were talking 500rwkw+, then cause for argument without a doubt, but we aren't

RHD have it wrong, probably a bit of jap-lish The exhaust gas temperatures at the front-rear turbine was reduced at an average of 18% at 2400 RPM to 7000 RPM (from nengun, cant find the jap manual atm). Because logically... How does temps @ the turbo intake (compressor) when it's only come through the air filters and hasn't come near the plenum It's the process of compressing the air, that heats it. Then it goes to inter cooler THEN to plenum. The reason for the hotter exhaust (in stock form) is only because the stock plenum has slightly uneven distribution to the rear cylinders leaning them off a bit compared to the front 4. With a good tuner, and matching the injectors etc, the problem is easily worked around as has been done for many, many years.

The problem can occur very much so with 2530's and hard piping kits.

It's the metal/welds that fatigue. Coating won't stop them cracking, keeping the heat in would potentially make them worse. There are 4 users that have had them fail in the past 12 months... And given most people stick with stock ones (ported if you must) - it would likely be a higher failure rate if more people were using them. Temps of what? That's the job of the intercooler and then the fuel that is added in @ tuning stage. Air volume on the plenum has little to do with Air Temp post cooler. Running @ 20psi+ @ 8000rpm the air wont be sitting around getting hot on a volume basis (and a greddy is marginally larger IIRC - so little it means nothing volume wise).

It was more of a joke last time... That said I hopefully won't own a skyline at all in a few weeks. Time for some V8 love

This is what Nismo themselves have to say about their plenum: At 4800 RPM to 7600 RPM, output improved by an average of 1.8% IMO unless you really want to drop money - then don't. The stock one has been proven time and time again to hit 450rwkw. I'd also take the manifolds off now (if the motor isn't in the car), and put stock ones back on. Tomei will crack, it's just a matter of time. Could be 1,000kms or could be 10,000kms irrespective of heat wrap or not. The quality simply isn't good enough.

They've been around since 2005/2006, maybe earlier. Can't remember exactly. Hardly "latest and greatest". They seem to have a bit of a following in the drag world, so they make the power. Does it mean they are good for street? Who knows. Either way, if they were as good as they say, everyone would be using them or they would've at least penetrated the market a little more than they currently have after nearly 6-7 years.

Tyres & suspension also play a big factor in braking performance, not just the brakes themselves. Good tyres go a long way to improving how much of the brake pressure you can actually use.

Guys - things will be looked at, when possible. Please don't keep asking. Nothing will get it done faster as Christian has been out of action for quite some time.
