yeah, yeah, yeah....tell everyone the truth!!!

Its that big juicy kiss you gave me at the airport :worship:

haha yeah......... ;) :laughing-smiley-014:

Any1 put in an oil catch can before?

what did you guys use to block the holes?

i read to use some threaded plugs?

any1? cheers

We have used "Door Stops" (thats what they look like) with hose clamps around them..you can get them at supercheap, clark rubber pretty sure :P

yeah pretty much might have to re-pin one of the sensors plugs but there a little cheaper for R33 gtr than R32 gtr :D

cool cheers man

JDM Yo! at least if the police cant read it tell them your car is the biggest tyre size

Morning Maz ;)

I am starting to feel better :w00t:

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

i didnt block any of the holes, i just ran the catch can in between the passenger side rocker cover and afm pipe

yeh i was reading up on the 5 million plumbing set ups for the catch can and sydneykid recons on the GTR its best to run the 2 hoses from the top to pipes on top of the rockets covers. best breathing setup apparently. but yeh your way would make things easier :P

Sinful - yeh im hoping 1 size fits all lol. ill have to try and measure the holes i need to plug ;)

^^ non sexual :S

i just bought a 040 bosch pump to put in my GTR!!! yay then just found out its not much of an upgrade :worship: i couldnt get the search engine on SAU to work so i was flying blind if you will.

The search button is working now...It's an alright upgrade (I havent upgrdaed mine yet) are you getting injectors to go with it? What power output are you going for? Do you know what teh GTR puts out now??

Mine with nothing done to it made 206kws at the rears at dyno day last year :P

link catch can

thanks jess :P

im pretty sure on its tune (about 10-11psi boost) ben said he rekons close to 210 maybe more, bens mechanic said it picks up faster than stock GTRs :worship:

nah i dont have new injectors yet, i was going to get 600cc and a fuel rail all in the 1 hit? thoughts?

i want about 250-270kw eventually, i wanna see how much i can get with out swapping out the turbos but want to eventually, maybe after my GTS-t sells.

what are my options jess?

yeah 210 sounds about right ;) Have you got an aftermarket ecu?

Fuel rail up to you , dont really need it :worship: Injectors yep 600cc would be fine..You wouldnt really need injectors until later either cause Jay and I are both running standard injectors still in our GTR's and getting the same power...

I have 300kws and didnt take me many mods to get there and that sort of power is lots of fun! The power FC was the main component that helped me get there!

Hmm do you know what turbos you have now? Mine are standard but pretty sure are steel wheeled so handling 1bar well

the ecu has got a mines sticker on the ECU so im pretty sure itll have a different fuel map, and yeh its not running stock boost about 10-11 is my guess :P

Oh that's right you told me at villies :worship: sorry!

My 2 cents: I would be worried about the ceramic turbos letting go (if they are ceramic)...So I would go turbo's first and then getting injectors, cams and stuff later and can up the boost and get more power out of it..

I only say that cause I have standard steel wheel turbos and have put the boost up to 1bar and getting 300 out of it with stock internals and minor mods like cam gears, catch can set up..I also love responsive turbos so have kept them on ans waiting for them to fail so can do next upgrage which will be going up to 350kws going garret turbos 2860 -5, injectors, bigger fuel pump (walbro) and drop in PonCams.

I dare say that the stock rb26 turbos can handle 10-11 psi, but its always better to be safe than to be sorry i guess.

Chad is still waiting for the turbos Steve!

Damo,

What turbos are you talking about?

Yeah the stock turbos can handle it but I just dont trust ceramic :worship: plus never know how long they have been on there for and what sort of life they have had??

Turbo Spec sheet

Google the part numbers on the turbo should be able to find out what they are..Or look on my spec sheet in the link...

To revamp them cost just as much to buy new...If in ok condition like no shaft play or noisey when spinning the inlet wheel chuck them up for sale and see what happens..But most are in the market for steel wheel turbos these days as the safer way to go ;)

There not bad just limited to what you can do with them..Steel wheel are everywhere only stock R32, R33 and R34 had cermaic turbos all the rest on teh market are steel wheel now :) Its expensive to get them steel wheeled! But it is an option you can do!

Oh yep definately reccomend aftermarket dumps and front pipes...But dumps are a pain in teh arse to do so best to do it when you going to do turbo as well LOL..Not winning are we ! ;)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
