turbo

25 stockers generally run out of puff right at the top

drop your exhaust if you think thats the restriction but i think you will find it will be roughly the same

25 turbos on 25's generally run out of puff at the top, just like 20 turbos on 20.

25 turbos on 20's give the RB20 that extra breathing up top that the stock turbo doesn't.

I'm looking for highflow cat. but not sure about the xforce ones. How did your investigation go?

well i went in for a dyno run to find out if it was the cat, but ended up spending 2 hours working out why my car was running like crap (turns out my AFM died on the way to the shop)..

i've decided to "increase the flow" in my cat and i can feel an improvement. Hopefully put it back on the dyno soon and see for certain whether the problem is fixed.

But the general consensus i've read is that the ceramic hi-flow cats aren't much better than the standard cat, where as the metal internal cats are good (but may not meet legal requirements).

Ahh, so your cat was a ceramic one. yeah, I was going to avoid all ceramic ones.

Metal cats should be fine for meeting the legal requirements. It's only when you drill your cat or de-cat your car that the inspectors get pissed off.

I'm sooo tempted to drill mine out, But I just know that if I do I'll get caught and cop the big fine...

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
