warning- the number boost setting displayed does not represent actual boost, it is a percentGE ratio. O represents stock boost, 100 represents maximum turbo charger capabilities. hmmm straight forward i guess.

well set it low, go for a drive and see what boost it actually makes. and then just adjust it from there

32 gtr turbos only make 18psi MAX (wastegates disconnected)...so u could say gts-t turbos would be similar, so for say 10psi ud need a percentage of 55%, but set it at like 30% and see what it actually makes

i got it set to 40% i think.. (havent driven in a while) and im just worried it might be a little to high, as the standard boost guage on the centre consol, the arrow hits 1bar (guessing) and stays there :S being as one bar is a little too high for my standard gtt turbo :S, i tihkn i mgiht turn it down

i called three different places today, and was quoted between 1100 bucks and 1500 bucks for a full 3 inch system. does this seem right?

yep it does..where they brand name jap ones?

no, they were just shop made i guess. whcih is why im asking, as brand ones seem to be cheaper, well form auto barn and other sites

full turbo back systems arent cheap.

do you want a stainless exhuast or mild steel one??

also look in the forsale section there is some traders who are selling "catco catalytic high flow 3" cats". get one of them, they are a must for the best flow possible. and are a very good cat..

also if u arent phased on the name of the system x force selling systems on ebay for $675 i think butu only mild steel. they can weld stainless to mild aswell.

what is the difference between stainless and mild steel...(please no smart ass replies) i mean, do they each give different performance/sound? or is it simply a finsih

or look at this one if u are interested. not a bad price.....

thanks daz for taking the time to search for me :P

stainless wont rust, whereas with mild steel, if the car sits and water sits on the steel, rust will occur...also the note is different between them

Cost man. From what I have read if you think you will keep your exaust for more than 5 years go stainless, if not dont waste the money just go for mild steel. Really all it is, is a waste pipe...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
