maybe... but if you want big power out of a nissan.... it's forged piston and rebuilt internals time anyway...

I paid $100 for the T25 Turbo (for silvia remember)

$100 for manifold

$200 in oil lines. intercooler piping and miscilanious gear...

for $400 it's really really cheap....

don't be scared do the work yourself... especially if you can drive your girls car...

it actually gives you an attachment to your car... you built it and it really does give you satisfaction when driving it that you have built it yourself...

I understand the whole just buy a turbo car though... I depends what you want... mine is just a little added boost until I rebuild with forged pistons... 30/37 and custom manifolds...

should be fun... it will still be with the NA motor... just the only thing that doesn't like the boost is the NA pistons.... other than that the motor is virtually identical...

the oil squirters I hear you all say... how many 1000Hp V8's have crank case oil squirters... I've already looked into it and done the calcs(well my mechanical Engineer father did.) and he reckons that sure they are cool but you don't need them....

anyway dudes have fun just remember.... make a plan research and do it cheap.... it's the Garage Spank Moto......

Another thing will insurance b about the same as a gts-t?

Thanx

it will definately cost more for getting a half cut (i just bought a rear end so i could have rear gtst diff, hubs, breaks and 5 stud :()

with insurance for some reason the car is insured under my name (didnt know) 3rd party (i knew this but thought under my name) as a GTST!

so all im gonna do is say "my engine blew coz it was running bad, so i found a good one and put it in and its fine now heres the engine number"

and yeah :D

Hey all, at school and the PC's are slow as!

I was told yesterday to go 2.25" on my exhaust? 2 people from Sub Zero told me and i dont know what to think?

most of you guys have 2.5" am i right?

im also thinkong of cold air induction and extractors? good idea?

anyway g2g, byes all :burnout:

PS: Hey boxhead, when you get ya new ride you betta still be on this thread!

if you get a 2.5" then make sure you get a good resonator and muffler that takes out the drone. else it will drone and annoy you!

personally, next time around i'd get a 2.25", i think its a bit more responsive with a 2.25".

guys my car might be for sale soon! new job means new car! yay!

i went ahead and got those rims that were on a silvia.

they are 16x7 front and 16x8 rear, and the offset on both is 32mm. They fit perfectly with no rubbing at all on full lock, and no rim hanging out of the gaurd.

I therefore conclude that the correct offset for 16" rims to fit a non turbo R33 GTS is 32mm

Neogt25: i would go with 2.25" piping. If you want 2.5" piping make sure you get at least one resonator and use a good quality muffler (as turtle said). I have 2.5" piping with 2 resonators and a quality muffler (HKS system) and i still get a bit of drone from 2-3k rpm. hope this helps.

well i sold my n/a engine today for 800 without the box :D :D

it is going to be used for an rb25/30deTT buildup going into a vl. the person who bought it had his mate with him who has a rb26/30dett in his own vl

good to see my engine will be contributing to something special

to bad in a vl but lol :D

ARGH CANT WAIT TIL I HAVE MY CAR BACK!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
