Should be in issue 10 or so. Baron, my photographers aren't amateurs. They have manners and use them. No way they would ever use private property without permission just as they didn't in this case. It is funny how quickly people forget though. I reckon Stu kept that particular dealership in shiny new Pulsars with all the import parts he's bought over the years. :P

I think you'll find they are shiny new TIIDA's.. not pulsars.. lol..

excellent car.

Will buy issue 10 if it's in there.

I think you will find that the dealer principal rang Nissan Aust to make sure it was okay and a certain dept started asking questions.

Oh an import hey,,,,NO

Oh in an Import magazine,,,NO

Oh it's got what under the bonnet,,,definately NO WAY.

Whilst the dealer network are lets say "mostly happy" supplying parts for private imports,,,the manufacturers are not.

All I can say is,

It was the best sounding car on the day!

It was also the cleanest car in the morning!!!

Stu - when I was flagging at the flip flop, your car gave me blood.... :(

thanks Chris, yeh roy, by lap 3 of the first session i was already bored of the track and decided to check the infield out between turns 1 & 2. that one was painless. the next time i did the same thing but this time i went in side-ways and damaged the front bar. I thought id make sure the job was done correctly by going off after turn 2 and before the bridge. but thats all lol. Car was very light in the arse on braking, mid corner, corner exit, excelleration etc, basically it tried to swap ends on me every where. i was even loose on the straight in 4th at one stage, but after getting some good advice on lines through turn 1 i was more confident into turn 2 which i was most shit scared of. mechanically it was great, had an oil leak in the tranny in first couple of sessions but sorted that out. just more track time and some adjustments to get it to behave and it wont be as much of a handfull. but it was cool knowing i could squeeze the gas and light the tyres up. just had to make sure it was pointing straight. all in all i was very happy seeing i had never driven the car before and or driven OP.

So Stuart have we converted you to going around corners now. Or are you still interested in straight lines?.

I think I said it way to many times,,,but your car sounds so fat coming down the straight.

I loved it mate.

Neil.

As others have already said this was probably my fav car of the day and seeing as though you were in my group all I got to see of it was either you overtaking me down the straight or you spinning off multiple times infront of me at turn 1-2. Actually from memory you gave me a wave when I gave you room coming out of the last corner onto the main straight and then I waved you back as you spun off at turn 2 and I went back past :(

Why people bother with RB's when you can throw a v8 in a skyline is beyond me.

most definately Neil, you know you have done an honest days driving when your hairs all wet and so is your undershirt.

5-15 minute sessions is more driving than a drag racer would see in a year.

Thought about it after we got home but i should have let you have a steer. I dont think anyone else would fit in the seat.

Next time.

I destroyed a bearing at OP GP on Friday...

I'm currently weighing up an LS2 in there instead of rebuilding the RB30 bottom end...

Stu: Got any sources for getting crate LS2s?

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
