Hey all,

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to turbochargers. I have an NA R33 and was pondering installing a turbo but I really have no knowledge on what sorts of things are involved. Is it difficult to do, easy to mess up?

Do you need to upgrade any of the existing engine components to cope with the extra power?

lol i had to make this decision b4 i went turbo, definately buying a turbo variant is more reliable....i did the turbo engine conversion (i was going to do the NA+T conversion but also took in factor that my engine already had high KM's so i just bought and engine and put it in) when u turbo it u gotta factor alot of things such as engine management, fuel system maybe? i danno heaps aye but if u want to do it dont' let anyone stop ya mate :) cause when i did mine everyone was telling me to sell my car but the end result was arlight ! :)

Cheers

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
