hey whos our motor bike people here?

was just wondering if anyones used those thingy's that are kinda like the bike chains you use for push bikes but they thicker n have a key lock and naturaly designed for motorbikes.

i was thinking could use it down the shop n chain my car to any random pole i find or even a fellow friends car wrapped around our rims :) that way theres no pushing my ride up the street to mess with it unless they manage to take my wheel off with locnutz and replace it with the spare :thumbsup: would take a bit of effort though and looking very sketchy while doing it

just a random secruity idea that passed my mind :P next week inflatable doll left in the car (not just for a good time and to save me looking like a loner)

hey... looking at turbos for my rb25 when she arives!!

i have been looking through slouches GB and came across the 3071r and 2871r..

which would be the turbo to go for and wat housings would best suit! looking for response and 280ish even 300kw fo a later date!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ga...86-t210306.html

cheers

Adrian, I have pondered and pondered on going gt3540 for ages just chasing the big numbers, I was even going to put my turbo up for sale last night....But reality is, I make close to 270rwkw with my gt2871r with 15psi. More responsive than most turbos and any more than 250rwkw is ridiculous for a 2wd skyline. The turbo you will need to make 300rwkw is going to disappoint you with low down reponse after sampling a smaller turbo. Sure, youll make big number but numbers are numbers. Its the way the car drives that really matters. Ive had a chance to drive both a GTR with 300rwkw and a GTS-T with 300rwkw and there is no comparison, all depends what you want out of the car obviously. If your making a hills/steetable car then sacrifice 30-40rwkw and keep it a responsive, fun car.

EDIT: GT2871R 56t for sale $1200 6000km old! :thumbsup:

Ok LOL i may have done something really stupid, just had new turbo injectors so on a so forth installed and still adjusting to the new power. I took off possibly a little to quick and lost traction on my rear tires also into second gear. Thats not the problem the problem is since then my radiator fan is continuosly running, the more revs the car gets thru the gears the higher it runs.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! Any idea's would be great

craig ill buy ur old rotors if there in good nik?

i need to upgrade my brakes for the 25..

as far as i am aware, they dont have much life left in them, and they need a machine...

is 30 bucks good for you? lol

i will have no need for them.

sounds like the clutch fan is stuck on.............should be as easy as getting another clutch fan

Know were i can get a new clutch fan? Also a 02 sensor lol wasnt caused thru same incident

those are both reasonably generic components. im sure you can get them from repco or one of the mechanics resellers. o2 sensors are never cheap, and you want to make sure u get a new one, 2nd hand could be a waste of time (and petrol). The clutch on the fan is possibly replacable itself (its just a little metal spigot and possibly some sleeved coil) so I reckon you could get one of those no sweat.

Had my o2 sensor replaced at road n track last year, wasnt too expensive from memory tho i dont know how much it cost specifically

-D

Definitely agree. A large turbo sucks..

The GT28 on the rb25 and a GT30 with a .82 rear on the rb30 is the perfect match.

268rwkw... Mine had no issues getting power down in second with 225/50 16's.

I ran wider Nankang NS2 245/40 18's at one stage and they had half the grip of a decent 225/50 16. All though the 16's don't look as good. 18's just don't grip; cornering they are excellent. :D

I've also had cheapish 225/50 16's that would skate around through third gear from 80km/h until 150km/h and twitch in fourth by simply rolling on the throttle in third.

I havnt put my gt35/40r on my rb25 yet its still sitting on my desk for show lol but after reading some threads on the GT2871R iv been thinking of getting one with my tax :) what cams would you run with the gt28 to get the max out of the turbo?

oh so that wasnt on TV tonight... what episode was

Not sure if the others in the house would enjoy the result of the vindaloo on me :D

In other news... just saw the Top Gear episode with the GTR in it. The episode in one word, EPIC! :kiss:

how much i wouldnt mind an iTouch

I just bought an iPod touch! Was way too cheap, only reason i bought it :bunny: ebay FTW, thats my 26th item purchased from ebay. :)

lol i dont know why you guys have so much troubles hyperlink ftw

ebay links fail. Steve knows how to fix them

are you blind stupid or both you asked for rotors the other day for R33 and i said i had some :)

take no offence i need a shower

craig ill buy ur old rotors if there in good nik?

The GT35 really is not a good street turbo on the rb25. First gear sucks second gear sucks and your left playing catch up. I've been for a little drive with a gt35 rb25det and it appeared slower through first and second than a rb25det making 200rwkw with its stock turbo. It just didn't really get up and go until 3rd+ gear. :S

yeah on my car :)

i told you the other day only rotors then i said wouldn't you want callipers also

if you search yahoon autions you will find some at a decent price

I bought it as i was going for big power not response but now im going for response and power so iv been thinking of the GT2871R :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
