Nice,What Turbos are you using this time?

The factory heat shields look good ceramic coated ,did you do yours?

HKS GT-RS....BTW the ceramic coating is done to keep the heat in the system (turbine side) and is not there to protect other items...thats the job of heat shields. The compressor side is done in ceramic chrome for asthetics as well as keeping the heat from transferring into that side of the system. Heat shields are used and are chromed.(again for bling!!!)

Cool,Only problem you'll face is wild comp serge with the GTR-S turbos.

Ive never sorted it so let us know how you go with yours.

No problem when you run WOT.....wide open throttle...lol

Jim's a great tuner though and tuned all shuffle out of the system with the 2530's. Ive really handed him a task with the RS's...lets see if he's up to it.

Looking good. Any diference between the black and silver ceramic coatings?

I think from memory the silver is a single coating rated to 700deg and the black is a double coating rated to 1100deg. The black works so well the turbine housing can be touched after racing without burning your fingers.

I thought when using GTRS turbos it was best to have the mainfolds with a cross flow pipe? Think that was what mark34gtr said about his GTRS setup.

Brad

Yes Brad, the balance pipe helps in street cars for drivability.....which is something i dont give a toss about. This setup is all about full noise low 10 to high 9 sec passes....nothing more.

You are seriously kidding me? It is THAT effective? Amazing!

And ask a stupid question, wtf does RH9 mean???

RH9 is an accreditation given to Japanese workshops that builds 9 sec GTR drag cars that run "street" tyres. Its like a club i suppose...a 9sec street GTR club. Contrary to popular belief the workshops are recognised not the car itself. There are 5 RH9 workshops in Aust....BSM, Godzilla Motorsport, Tillbrook's, Croydon's and Willall. DiRTgarage hope to become the 6th.....but more importantly.....to our knowledge no-one has done this using low-mounts.....we hope to be the 1st.

Hi,

Looks good :)

Was this done by "Competition Engineering" in Guildford?

Did they coat the inside of the exhaust manifolds? If so, are you/they worried about bits of ceramic coat going through the turbos?

Regards,

Saliya

Yes, Competition Coatings at Guildford.

Only the external surfaces look to have been treated.....but in saying that.....its quite common to get pistons coated.....so the product must be safe to use

Looks good Paul and Stace :)

did you get the fruit bowl done to match?? ;)

cant wait to hear how the two of you go once its all bolted up and tuned..

all the best :P

Thanks mate...

yes the fruit bowl is subjected to extreme heat from the in floor heating....so we had it done too...lol

wont be long now....bolting it all up this week.....tuning the following Friday if all goes well.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
