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:

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

Another link

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??

can someone maybe point me in the right direction for info on the gtr turbo's??? ive got a set of 33 gtr ones in the shed and was lookin at having some work done to them and chuck em on with a list of other mods, or would i be better buying some HKS numbers???

**edit: ive come from the world of carbies so go easy lol

Edited by rhys5169

So turbos first hey? how bad are the stock GTR turbos? in the way of letting go? how can i get the steel wheel 1's? is there a way to do a conversion?

what about dumps and front? do that when i get new turbos?

*edit*

bens mechanical pulled the turbos off not too many kms ago to have a look and they are in good nick ;)

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 ;)

i was told the 33 gtr turbo's had steel wheels??? (they came free with my car anyways).......

i just dont trust the ceramic so always looking for a way to avoid leaving them on there

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 ! ;)

Check the numbers on the turbo..but could be N1 spec or have been steel wheel in standard housing in japan like mine ;)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
