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!

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
