Yeah its the t78-33d with the smallest 17cm exhaust housing, i had a look at it and damn its in good nick. If i can get 1 bar by 4000rpm with cam gears tuned for midrange i should still have a big power band (4000rpm).. When its on i'll get matt spry to try get as much midrange and tourqe as he safely can, should be fun. :ban::pwned:

I was going to get that from him hey,. i was contemplating whacking that turbo instead but i realised its going to be laggy for my set up... so i went ahead with the GT3540.. with the .82 housing..its still a little laggy.. not spooling till 4000rpm.. but when it kicks,.. it kicks on hard.. just waiting for my cams and bigger fuel pump now.

it should be the same with the rb26..but with the right set up..it shouldn't be a problem.. but eitherway.. it will be fun. :rofl:

Interesting you think the GT3540 is laggy, I would have thought it’s too small for a 2jz. We’ve played with a Supra that had a GT40 or GT42, I forget, never the less, far from a lag monster.

Had no issue’s frying his 315 tires on the highway, and all he had was fmic, fuel system, cams and ecu, would have been making boost the same rpm your 3540 seems to be.

Thats prolly me, though my rims dont have white centres. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one with a midnight blue gtr on the coast.. (only %5 of r32 gtr's are midnight blue in colour from the factory..) Thr caps on my rims are alloy in colour, same as the spokes. Easiest way to spot me is i have a www.skylinesaustralia.com sticker the full lenght of the rear windshield up the top, then you'll know its me. :D

Yeah must have had you mixed up with another blue one I've seen in Alex a bit.. Had work rims with white centres.. Stopped to have a perv of yours the other week :D

dynamix: did you buy the t78 off that dude named buttocks with the black silvia with pumped guards? If so, I was contemplating buying it for my 1jz as well. Decided too much work as it is only 1mm larger comp wheel than what I currently have.

yeah,. i am not aiming for big HP,. just for street driving.. so the 3540 is the way to go for me,. i was getting the T04z with the same .82 housing but couldn't find one then..so i settled for the turbo i have now.

depending what size exhause housing the GT40 has..they do spool pretty quick... T78 however would be a different story...they mainly built for Top end power.. close to 5000rpm.

Hey chris,. yeah he bought it off him... i was also comtemplating getting it but decided to stick to my set up now.. and i already had my custom t3 manifold made.

3540 will spool pretty quickly and should be a good streetable turbo. On my old 25 the hks 3037s spooled quickly (it had cams etc) and had decent pull power from around 3500+ rpm....good for fun and with the luxury of a stronger bottom end and decent boost....well lets just say i had 265's and 1st, 2nd and 3rd were pretty fun gears!

What car you driving now? I remember your old 33 when you took it to adam hoyle's and showed her off.

yea i remember, that night was fun....driving home at like 12am on the highway after it'd rained....haha overtaking a truck in 4th gear on boost...I think he was unhappy when I was wheelspinning past him...it was unintentional but i dont think he got the idea. Anyway atm im not driving anything, i dont have a license (thanks to forgetting my seatbelt) lol. So i have no need for one, but when i get it back it will be a toss up on what to get..i dont think it'll be an import though. Not at this time anyway.

Is your GTR rust proofed?

It is one of the first things I did to it. I will be put a cruise control into it when I get the time to.

have you protected your car?

I have found rust on some new cars before.

Thats prolly me, though my rims dont have white centres. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one with a midnight blue gtr on the coast.. (only %5 of r32 gtr's are midnight blue in colour from the factory..)

yeah but you used to have white spoked rims on it,with a polished lip, then u changed rims. i think hes talking about when your car had them on matt.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
