gees if you went too all that trouble to rebuild your motor with forged pistions why did you not just add stonger rods it would have cost the same in labour and then you could have forgot about it and it would be good for 370kw or 500hp.

I would hate to guess, so depending on variables, generally speaking it should be fine, but if its a 32gtr replacing old items with new makes sense. I take it you got upgrade turbos to handle 300kw? And seriously think of getting a N1 oil pump at this powerlevel for all day every day.

yeh they have ARP rod bolts.....I bought the car with the motor rebuilt if I did it I would have put steel rods in it, Also has an N1 oil pump and GT2860R turbos has all other components and support mods to handle 300kw just wanted to make sure the rods will be alright cause my mechanic was a bit sceptial bout it.

thanks for the info guys, also another quick question would the stock AFM's be ok for 300kw? Ive been told a cheap way around it is to you 2 rb25det ones??? Also I know this topic may have been covered aswell with a good pump and reg would the stock GTR injectors handle 300kw? I have a set of 660 nismos but im sure the $750 could be spent elsewhere if they went necassary

i wouldnt push my luck with the injectors and fuel pump when asking for 300..just generally not a smart move.

leave your AFM's as stock RB26DETT ones they will handle that fine (saving of about $600 from Z32's)

As it says guys I have had my motor rebuilt with forgies but it still has the standard rods they have just been shot peened and crack tested or something would they hand 300kw all day everyday? cheers

no problems.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
