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

My situation is complicated at the moment, I've got an adapter plate for a 38mm wastegate but i'm starting to think the 38mm gate isn't going to be big enough. So im currently looking around at either another manifold to suit a bigger gate or mod my manifold...or bite the bullet and get the 38mm gate and take the risk.

The lower you want to run the boost the larger you want the wastegate to be. Judging on my mate's setup with the same turbo i will need a bigger gate.

I think the r32 is more lenient with a slight difference as that example was what Dan was running on his gts4 and it was confirmed by willal that this is ok

It still will eventually cause problem with 32's but not as quickly as 33's and 34's as they run a mechanical 10% preload all the time (that is why you can't just pull a fuse in the later models). with the 32 it will still cause the clutches to burn out but the wearing will only occur when the ATESSA is activated, hence why it won't happen as quickly as the later models.

I was watching this thing lastnight on Animal Planet about "Demonic Apes". God it was interesting. This place called Gombi or something where all these Chimpanzee's live, they actually eat more meat than fruit and veg. And there was the leader "Frodo" who was the most violent out of all of them and he actually abducted a baby and mutilated it, tore its skin off its face and all this.

There were scientists saying that he has a common link between him and us, calling it the demonic male syndrome. Where they think that fighting and murder is okay.

They were also showing Frodo attacking other Chimps and they said that he was actually enjoying it because he knew he was inflicting pain on the other chimp.

It was very interesting to watch. Just shows how much we think we know about things, but in reality, we're totally in the dark about it.

+1

And the clutches aren't cheap to buy or fit.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
