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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
