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

Good luck with that turbo Abe, i've just been recommended a 3076 with .6 rear. Reckons it'll be good for 280rwkw!

Got off the phone to hypergear and he said that would be enough to go about 320rwkw or so....for something like 260-280 he recommended a AT28G2 or something similar to a GT2871R for response and good hard hitting power

Pretty sure the XR6t rears are a 1.06 housing, being a 4ltr motor. I'd be dropping it to a .83 or .6, depending on how you want response to be

Response even from a 0.83 will be laggy as f**k considering the stock ones are 0.48 or something

Yeah Simon @ Morpowa said it would be pretty crazy, but with the smaller .6 rear response wont be too bad! Wish i had of grabbed the one in the for sale thread. Pump and injectors for me first i think.

Hmmmm and they're on my shopping list too Dale!

On a brighter note, got some cf eyebrows off ebay. Picked them up and both are cracked! Seller is sending 2 more out tomorrow and i get to keep the fecked ones! :)

Woot, thats what i was aiming for.

Thanks, ill let you know how i go with this.

is that a 1.06 rear housing Abe?

No, its a .8X (its a 0.8 something)

and run an external gate*. that pissy little internal has trouble coping.

*with a big f**k off screamer pipe.

As much as i would like to, no. It going on my daily.

well, external gate is going to be a minimum. seriously. that tiny little internal gate has trouble properly handling the boost.

*correction, smaller turbine housing, might just get away with it.

Yeah, i just picked mine up, hoped on the for sale and saw the same turbo for $1800, i could have saved money....oh well.

The turbo i got is running a 12psi actuator, and according to my research - browsing here and looking at Lithium, Mafia, and Cube's posts, they recommend the 0.8 rear housing. They also said that there is boost control issues, but that only really happens with the non genuine Garrett housings. The rear housing on mine says Garrett, and has 0.8 stamped in the exhaust input :S

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
