yeh, think they are heavy. i know yella terra re-designed them so would be interesting to see the new ones.

i will be putting a set of Harland Sharp rockers this time though.

Any idea what the issue is with the roller arms? too heavy and causing valve float / bounce?

got through a bit of work this week, removed rear boot latch and fitted some bonett pins on the boot lid to make it easier to access the fueltank and eliminate the risk of loosing the key and not being able to open the boot.

Purchased a GT style rear wing, 1500 wide and sits just over 300 off the boot lid. Great fathers day present, thanks girls.

have began lowering the drivers seat which we should finish tonight. Also going to lower the fuel tank to drop the centre of gravity as it was advised this could aid in helping with handling in the rear of the car.

Still waiting for the front bumper. Might give the air ducting/engine cover a crack on the week-end.

Your build is mint and i didnt want to be critical of an awesome build, but i was left wondering why you threw the fuel cell up high in the boot. Throw back in the std jobbie, or GTR as i am told they are plastic and lighter, ...or better yet make up a 30L smaller alloy jobbie that sits under the car but in front of the rear axles...perfection.

I am reading all these build threads whilst stuck in a hotel room and so keen to ge tback to Aus and getting something going

i guess i did it this way as the tanks are cheap and it was easy to modify to run the internal pumps and because ive set up to many fuel systems on drag cars lol. If i run a standard tank i would have to run a surge and i just wanted to keep it simple. My setup only runs a feed, pressure is regulated at the tank.

Ill drop the tank into the wheel well and the sump will hang through. Its minimal work to do this and i wont have to re-plumb anything.

OK, the wing is on......and im not sure about it. maybe it will grow on me but at the moment i think its ricey, when i see it all i can think of is honda civics or mitsubishi lancers. i hope it gives the downforce it looks like it should or its going to get the ol heave ho. Anyway can always sell it to a drifter lol.....which makes me wonder why they have wings anyway.

im still waiting for Vin Diesel to climb out of it....

The wing is glass with a wrap. The uprights are cnc machined alloy and pretty serious though and it has large endplates.

i bought it second hand over the net. Dont know who makes it....could even be a custom job but not sure.

It looks alright Stu, Is it carbon?

also any idea who makes it / sells it?

Started on the air dam today. Used a fibreglass bonnet outer skin, marked it out and slowly got it to sit around the intake.

still have to glass up the sides and fit mounting brackets but you can get the general idea...

ha ha, driven a commodore lately? with the amount of off the shelf parts and interchangeable parts available for a Nissan, let alone the body shape of the R32 which is small, and arguably the best ever made, the combination was good. And im not sure what a Commodore has to do with it, if i had the coin i would have bought a Vet.

The thing is i always wanted the Skyline, the engine popped up by chance. Ive owned one taxi and ill never go back....

After all this man why did you put a v8 into your 32??? shoulda just bought a commodore if u want a v8!

got intake dam back from fibreglasser today and he had done a top job, we trial fitted it and it was near perfect.

finished trimming the sides down and fitting dzus fasteners tonight. It will do for sunday, ill get it painted after that.

also fitted passenger seat and harness for the track day.

    • 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.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
