the trust ones that jenkies is interested in. If they are similar to the N1 , id say they are fairly responsive, similar to a stock turbo, but build alot stronger so they can handle more boost.

i tried the search function but got nuthin :banana:

so ima ask it here, whats the widest wheel you can get on a 32 gtr? and the ofset you need to acheive this?? guessing around the 10-11 mark?? would be for a 18 inch wheel aswell

10inch wide with a +18 offset....

just wondering if anyone knew much about greddy t517z x2 suit gtr. power potential, posatives and negatives

cheers in advance

hey mark, where ya been bud?

I'm no expert on these snails but I think you may find they have journal style bearings as opposed to the Garrett style ball bearing

carl, what did you use for your glovebox setup? (materials)

its a piece of black plastic that is about 4mm thick that has been cut as a facade, and have put a couple gauges in there... used to have ebc inthere too, but i choose to abide the law nao :laugh:

i'll prolly be at villis if u wanna see it, im planning on re-doing it soon

I've been doing a fair bit of research on new snails...

t517z x2: Beware theres 2 types of housings, an 8cm and 10cm one. 8cm is equivilent to GT5860-7(HKS GTSS), 10's = GT5680-5(HKS GTRS) and SLED is correct that they aren't Ball Bearing. From what I've heard quite linear quite peaky compared to the Garrets.

The -5 is bigger than the -7 if that makes any sense.

Some specs here: Gtr twin turbo comparisons

I've settled for a set of 34N1's because they're supposed to be similar to stock response.

so that would be bout a 275ish???

i got 275s on mine dont ask me what rim size n offset though dont know. tires start getting pretty expensive at that size by the way :)

ur welcome to have a look when i get it going again.

my neighbours are sooooooo annoying, there over here all the time.

1 of them (Samantha i think) was talking to my mum yesterday and said she thinks she knows

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
