Same here!! I finally had all my 6 injectors replaced with orginal GTR items. The current ones were cracking (don't know how and why, but apparently this is common now) They're $330 per injector from Japan! It's crazy! I could get a full set of Sard injectors with bigger cc for the same price of 3 original injectors! Problem is, I'd need a aftermarket ecu to run them :D

or a remap? either way, it would end up costing twice as much. did you buy new ones? i thought you would be able to pick up some cheaper ones locally?

heres a pic of my rims too, all cleaned up and safely in aus with me!

VERY nice choice of wheels there! :D

thanks!

for people wondering what they are:

Weds Kranze Cerberus 1. (rare now because the Cerberus 2's are out. the 1's are alot better, the 2's only come in chrome, which is lame!)

18x9.5 and 18x11, +10 all round.

i love them!

hey Cronic... Just priced up a power fc for a R32 GTR for a mate on here for $900 del. If u need one i can put a order in for u to :D

Oh really? Can u put in an order for me also? Will have some tax money that will need spending if a few weeks. Was going to get one off ebay for $1,095. For $900 i can add a few other things to the list of 'things im going to buy with my tax money'.

Only $900? I would say Yes, but my funds are zilch at the mo'. I need my new exhaust before I start on anything else - my baffles inside the cat are wobbling all the time now - they're bound to just come off anyday now and shoot out the back... although, I doubt this could happen.

Turbo-back exhausts on twin turbo's are so expensive! It's like $700 just for the dump pipe!

What is the standard compression for an RB25det?

Did a compression test on a mates car yesterday but i don't know what the factory specs are and i only have silvia/180sx manuals.

Results (psi); (They look very good IMO)

1- 167

2- 168

3- 170

4- 170

5- 169

6- 168

What sort of upgrade is an N1 compared to standard Pete?
More fins in the water pump (2 more from memory)

Close....other way around actually. N1 pumps have less but larger fins. They don't suffer cavitation issues at high rpm and apparently flow better at lower rpm due to the bigger impellar with less fins. :P

Looks pretty good Dale....gotta be happy to be within 2-3 psi :P

Well my car goes in saturday to have sideskirts fitted and front bar fitted and painted! Apparently theres another little white support infront of the reo that has to come off for aftermarket bars, so the front bar will supposedly fit! Will be done before autosalon, yay.

got my car back from smooth garage today from a manual conversion!

so very happy :P

edit: also getting a few more bits and peices done friday. hope to get it all back better then ever by the weekend :P

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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
