WARLORD, do you have any pics of the actuator bracket? it looks like you have the exact same actuator bracket that i had, which isnt the correct bracket, i had to modify mine as it was causing the actuator rod to sit at an extreme angle which could have damaged the diaphram if i had left it the way it was, you will see what im talking about in the thread bellow, i ending up modifying my bracket in the end.

yes jps gave me a deal that i could not say no too as they said it was the last one .if you want ill take a photo of the bracket to se if its the same.

new pics

waiting for my injectors to come from jps unfortunately the f@#% up my order.it would of been finished tomorrow .

1.gt-rs

2.3037

3.hpi front pipe

that 3037 looks horn! i love how for a decent sized turbo it remains conspicuously low mounted.

The HPI pipe looks great too, i am waiting for mine from just jap right now! what front pipe were you running before? is there meant to much gains with these twin pipe hpi units?

also what "cat" are you "de" running :P im also waiting for a JJR type 1 to fill the gap b/w hpi pipe and cat back.

cheers

hi yes it is horn lol,as for the front pipe i had a 3" pipe be for nothing to great,the hpi ones are great so you don't hit speed humps as they do not hang as low as a 3" one.

as for gains it may help spooling but as its larger than a 3" pipe but time will tell once my faking injectors come.

ii have a catco metal cat with the s/s inside the cat .you can get them for about $420 if you look around i think just jap has them for $480

good stuff al nice engine cool engine bay ill like to see the out come when you turn it up.

it will be nice if you could do a comparison with our new set ups like you did with the gt-rs turbos

Well got the car back last Friday and it is awesome. As my mechanic already had a base tune done, from the first build, he tweaked it a little, while bedding it in on the dyno. Car is still in run-in tune, but is making a little more power than the first tune :).

Absolutely loving the instant response of this setup; not even the factory turbo spool up as quickly as this.

Checked out your engine bay on Saturday, the turbo is nice and stealthy, lets hope it can produce the numbers :D

hi blitz we got close but there is something restricting the power we lifted the rpm up to 7450 and it makes power all the way up to the limiter where at 280kw looking for 20 more.

  • 1 month later...

well i found the 20 more kw .....now ive got 304 kw at the wheels. thanks to a 3-3.75 hks exhuast and a better tune.

i ran a 12.22 @122.9 m/h with a shit 60 foot of 2.16,till my next run .

next mod on the books is a port and valve job on the head and a ported exhaust manifold.

why don't you work on your 60ft before making more power?

with some slicks and a top notch rear end setup it nearly has the power to run a very high 10. If you didn't use MT ET streets go and buy some. Best $600 you will spend. $600 of engine mods will not drop a second of your 1/4 mile time (unless you have an auto and get some nitrous :D)

thanks guys i did get my 60ft to a 1.82 but i ripped a big backfire and shit myself and stopped the run.

as for more power you always need more, its the way you go about getting it which is never going to be the same as the next guy. no matter what you read....

i am running m/t 255 as well

ill share my youtube vid with you all as long as i don't get any $2 fools say dumb remarks .

like"you should'nt drive like that " cos any one how owns a car speeds and if you say you never have than your full of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

go to youtube type in the search bar r33niko to see some vids.

thanks again for the support to some of you dedicated modfiers .............

just 1 question... before you decided to spend all this money on your car did you consider selling it and buying a GTR?? I only ask as you seem like you want a car that will go very quick in a straight line.....many gtr's with stock turbos run quicker than 12.2 (my previous car 33gtr ran 11.9 @115 with stock turbos and road tires)...i like what you have done with your car but would love to know your rationale behind sticking with the gtst as by the ammount of you cash you have spent you could have bought a gtr comfortably?

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
