Boost controller, replace coils, while you are doing large upgrades...........

...replace oil pump , water pump and timing belt....get the bearings and bolts changed at the same time though.

Then after it has cost you $5000+ :( to install your $7000 :) dollars of parts you will need to upgrade

or pay some attention to the brakes and suspension......and after $3000 :O of this....

.....you will then need some rims and sticky rubber so you can get a 1/4 mile result...this would cost about

$4000. :O And you haven't finished yet.

Believe me ....cause these are the figures you are facing.....

If you are worried about $3000 wait until you finish your upgrades. :(

As far as the -5(2530) turbo's.....they are the best choice for 320AWKW's and you have to have the Poncams to get this figure.

the budget always blows out.

ps..215000ks on my 26 and its un opended pushing around 320awkw t04z etc etc. been doing it for about a yeah. or 60k. loves it :)

just dont rev it past 8 and dont bounce of the rev limiter and put an extra litre of oil in it :)

It is important to set the RPM limiter at say 7700....so you don't.

320Awkws with a t04z?What power rating is the turbo?

gun32gtr,

The other thing is that with the gt-ss turbo's your 1/4 mile figures will be( with your mods )around,

12.5 seconds on street tyres and 12's with stickys.

I am searching for 12's with road tyres and 11.5's with stickys and thats why I picked the 2530's.

Dont pay to mush attention to awkws and rwkws,....look at the times people have posted up

then look at the power levels they are producing .(most of the time they are inconsistent.)

It is also wise to see the modifications they have completed and what tune and boost they normally run.

Cheers and good luck with the upgrade.

what are you talking about tekin? My 32 GTR run 12.4 with 250rwkw. with street tyres. and that was after a grand total of 3 passes in the GTR. and about 10 passes in my whole life, so it would be fair to say I'm by no means the greatest drag racer out.

Hey tekin, i am a mechanical engineer and im doing a Phd research at the moment regarding drivetrain losses due to bearings, cv joints etc. and i have never heard of loosing so much power trough a diff or smth else for that matter, i mean heavy equipment with differentials the size of a mans length dont have that kind of loss. and i run about 450 AWKW run 10.6 with slicks and massive launches, so i dont understand why keep blating stupid info. and ps when i promote ill ask one of the mods here to have my research stickied, so there will be no further disscussion possible

what are you talking about tekin?

I have wondered that myself many times.

STOCK Turbo'd R32 GTR's have been able to get into the 11's...

So i absolutely fail to see the reason an R33 GTR with GT-SS's on it cant run a mid 11 on street tyres given a decent driver.

And possibly a very low 11 on good tyres.

ferni ran a 12.05 in his GTR with GT-SS, i think its fair to say that if he have another dozen passes he will be into the 11's quite easily... AND on street tyres.

He hasnt had any drag expirience in his car, so benefit of the doubt would have it that a much better time is there with practice

2530's being a minimum to run 11's... is quite simply wrong, and a very un-educated statement

Thanks for the discussion guys,

I hope this is helping you come to a decision that you are comfortable with gungtr32.

As for the replies to my post ,I am going on experiece and drag Pb times posted in the Vic section of this Forum.

Un-educated....no......there are 7 people only who have posted below 12 seconds(Vic) and I have not

seen the set up they have.

As what dirtgarage has posted...he has stated that in different modes awkws shows up lower on the dyno.

As far as being an engineer and seeing whether there is hardly any loss of power through the drive train.

You also have to take in consideration the wheels and the friction they cause thus the loss of power they

put to the road.......awkws is power delivery to the road...not loss of drivetrain power.@the wheels

Nismoid...O2 sensors??? How does this relate to kws?(at the wheels)...or is this in another thread that has no real questions answered.As for Ferni.......he himself has probably re-though about realistic times by now,

using the gt-ss set up.

If we all got our figures on the same dyno.....we can compare results and directly see our pb times

and how it all pans out.

gun32gtr.....check the power levels people are stating the times they have posted these are all over the place..with the same mods.

With gt-ss turbo's your quickest time with the modes you have posted in this thread is 12 seconds with stickies, which is a great time and you will be more than happy driving the car daily.It will also be great on the track

If any-one has mis-understood my intentions on trying to help they are mistaken.

This Forum is a great resource for every-one, and I am just stating the truth...at least what I have read :D

I will not defend my findings in this post again.

Cheers

Tekin

Since your not going to defend yourself its "Hunting Season" :sick:

I dont really agree with that..i dont think you can use blamket statements, especially when you havent witnessed the crs you are using as the basis of your judgements do their runs...or even speak to the owners!

ddecided tto go with the gt2860r but just not sure whether -5 or -7 i want to do more mods in future so i think the these will be the go?

GT2860 Turbine (-5) (Similar to the HKS GT2530) :

-Wheel: 53.85mm w/ 76 trim

-Housing: .64 or 0.86 ar (with wastegate divider)

housing id go the .64 yes as the .86 would be far to big for what im after i think...

these are of ebay,and does anyone ever purchased these turbos of ebay b4/

Yes. With the amount of air flow produced by the garretts I dont think a pneumatic bleed valve will be able to bleed off any considerable amount of air to keep those wastegates shut, let alone keep boost levels stable

make sure you keep us updated with dyno figures etc

very good read actually.

im doing my turbos soon as well, and i have GT2860-5s in mind. i was told they are quite responsive, yet still bigger than the GTSS. can anyone tell me when their 2860s (2530s) spoll up in the stock 2.6l engine?

also, if you wanna go a size bigger, you can always use GT2871s. i found out that they are equal to HKS GTRS ones...will be laggy ,but more power will be produced.

also, do the oil pump and sump while you re taking the eninge out....at least get a N1 pump, with a sump baffle....just to stay on the safe side of it...

yeh thought a ebc would be on the cards... yes gt2860r -5 id say i will be going... not going to pull the engine just hope she holds up?????/

thanks again

p.s will keep dyno results posted

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
