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!

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.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
