Hi guys, my 26/30 will be finished getting built soon.

It's got a forged bottom end and will be in my r33gtst.

Stock r33 gtr turbo's will be on for the run-in and final tune due to finances, but am now saving for a decent set.

They will run 14psi and wont see the track

I have searched and came up with 2560's int gate.

My thinking for this is that i want more power than the stock ones can give me reliably and i only have the rears to get trackion.

So what do you guys recomend?

It's a street car first with occasional track use.

I'd also like to keep them a direct bolt on :(

Thanks Simon.

2530's/Garrett equivs would be my pick for a 26/30.

Blistering response due to the added capacity.

Be aware though, its going to take a very sensible & skilled driver to pilot it.

RWD and big power dont generally mix well with all people, ive seen it end in tears and hospitals many times over the years.

So its either those, or just get steel wheels in the stockers.

But IMO you want a little big of later delivery as with the 26/30 its going to feel like a V8 it'll have that much down low on stock/smaller turbos so it'll turn tyres in a blink of an eye.

But the offset is the larger ones will net you much larger power, but it will still turn tyres as it comes onto boost i reckon... so more of a danger trap!

And the above, is why i stuck with 2.6ltr/gt-ss personally :(

My RB26/30 is long overdue to be completed so should have it back soon. I'll be using the twin Garrett 2860 (-5 model). Hopefully I'll be able to give you some results. I am hoping it should make a great response car for street/track and make about 500 flywheel horsepower without too much stress.

Ye, the car in question was a 2.6ltr with those turbos (IIRC) and it was frying the tyres with absolute ease and great response.

So the smaller ones i have will be just that little bit more furious again, which im actually looking forward too coming from a GT30/270rwkw setup that came on around 4k vs this new one which will be a LOT earlier so it will be a challenge and a driving expirience im looking forward too having come from V8's years ago :)

Thanks for the replys.

I think i'll stick with the stockers for now. With some steel wheels.

Down the track i'll end up putting the engine into a gtr most likely a 32, and then slapping on some bigger turbos.

At the same time do some head work, and cams :nyaanyaa:

Should be some fun in a rwd though !!

Cheers Simon.

Yeah, melb sux in that way.

The engine will look stock and i'm going to try to keep it that way for as long as possible.

With the stock turbos on i'm aiming for around 240rwkw.

once the steel wheels are on ill push it more.

With only rwd huge kw's isnt going to get me far. Torque should be good :P

When the engine eventually goes into a gtr the bigger turbo's will be sourced.

I've got some R34 std turbo's for sale for $750. They'll be a nice upgrade from ur 33 turbo's, as the ones i've got are only 30k old and were on a stock car, also the R34's are ball bearing. I've also got a pair of new R34 N1's that came off a NUR that i was going to put on my 26/30, but im now thinking about some GT-RS's, ill let the N1's go for ~$3200.

P.S shamless plug i know, but just showing simon some options :P

Based on what, says stockers wont work good?

IMO, they would work brilliantly... keeping them to around 10psi as you dont need as much boost to make the power being that is less restriction with capacity.

It would be on boost very early and feel much like a V8 with delivery early. You cant say instant torque is a bad thing.

IMO - Very interesting to see how it does perform on the stockers i think, and im interested in the results of it.

I thought about GT-SS on a 26/30 for a while, just couldnt justify the cost of going 3ltr, or the hassle of fitment among other things.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
