Better check that exhaust manifold to see if the black paint is flaking off eh?

wait.. what?

Bugger mine doesn't have any left on it, I wonder what happened .....Hang on , I can't even see the exhaust manifold .....

hmmm my GTR doesn't have variable valve timing, centre differential, front and rear axle, and no black paint on my exhaust manifold either. i'm starting for wonder if my car is really a GTR after all?! someone hold me. i'm scared.

Sounds like you're one of those ricers that slapped a GT-R badge on your GTS-t to make everyone think you're hardcore..... :yes:

Motoring Journos doing any research would make a happy change. Especially those that write for generic news publications, not dedicated automotive periodicals. Even then, most journos are useless.

And, reading through the article, there's so much wrong with it I don't even know where to begin. I'd expect this kind of ignorance over on Carsguide, but I thought Fairfax papers were a bit better.

But, then again, Drive isn't exactly a bastion of accuracy either.

well it's either that or dave morely f**ked up?hmmm i'll have to think about this problem for a while.

the gtr is a "pretty" car

what i couldnt stand were these lines:

But the GT-R wasn't a sensuous looker. It was quite an upright two-door. While it had the obligatory wings and spoilers, its alloy wheels and overall lines are undramatic.

Inside is even more pedestrian with lots of generic Nissan grey plastic, although there are great seats and a lovely steering wheel.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
