Hey everyone

Car is just about ready to get back on the streets after 3 weeks off. The stock turbo decided to let go on me up Mt Coot-tha on the skyline cruise that weekend and I had to nurse it home. It didnt really bother me at the time as it was the exhaust wheel that decintegrated so my cat copped the brunt of it, and not the engine internals.

With the help of my housemate (thanks Kev), a brand spankin new Garrett GT3076 is fitted and the car is ready to be towed to Predator to get custom dump and intake pipes made up for the 'larger' huffer hanging off my RB25. So yeh, I cant wait to get it back on the road and feel the kick of the new turbo spooling up big time. Just thought I would share with you all :(

nice choice of turbo

I made 303rwkw at 18psi with the same turbo (with the .84 rear) tuned by predator

In theory it should be a good set up....spools up nicely but yet to fell the full effect, but the less said about that in public the better

pistons and rods aside, what mods have you got to make that power? thats what im aiming for. My turbo has a .82 rear housing, other mods so far are only FMIC, exhaust and air filter. I plan on getting a microtech and some bigger injectors soon enough....

Power FC, Bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, Type B Tomei Poncams, freshened up head ect ect

dont use a microguess, only poor rotor owners use them

P.S have fun lighten up 3rd on the fly when she's done :P

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
