also Dave why the rb26 covers? Usually gtst owners just put the rear gtr badge on and leave it at that :) .....I'm expecting you to say something about oil control here

We all know they look better :P

Bolted the turbo on today and fired her up :down:

Battery is dead, 3 months sitting there will do that.

Had a few dramas with the wastegate not lining up right with the new covers so it was back and forth from Craved Coatings to get the housing done in time. Rego tomorrow.

I cant thank Chris enough for pulling out all stops to get all the coating done in time. Thanks mate!

Down to JEM tomorrow to get some minor things sorted. Tuned very soon :)

Really would have loved to have seen what it would have run on a GT30R, I am really confident on a clean run it would have rewritten a few viewpoints on what you can do with a GT30R. That really could be 10s power with the right situation.

OK back from the dyno with a mixed result.

Made 390rwkw at 25psi.

Still big power but way below what we were expecting.

Adam said it should have farted out 400rwkw.

I had semis on the car the first few runs (silly me)

Pulled them off and put road tyres on, pick up 10rwkw.

Adam was pushing it but just couldnt get to 400. So he pulled it back a bit and made it ultra safe for the big thrash at Powercruise.

No boost leaks that we can see, held 25psi really flat.

Might just be the china spec cooler i have just isnt up to it. But with only 3psi pressure drop from hot side to cold side its still flowing ok.

I just wish it stopped raining so i can see what it feels like on the road.

T04Z *cough*

but yes power does seem down a bit, butters over here is running a stock rb26 with a 35r and e85 making 415rwkw on less boost

T04Z is a bit laggy for my liking.

And yes Simon got a great result.

I made 360 with the GT3076 at 23psi, so i only gained 30rwkw with the GT35 with 2 psi more boost.

Just doesnt sound right.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
