The Y Pipe and general construction is next.

The Y pipe looks like it would seal ok.

This side looks ok...

BUT .... this side has special overlap that to the untrained eye looks like a jagged peice of "couldn't be stuffed" restiction action. However it was designed in a wind tunnel by the chinese space program. :banana:

Having a look from the big end makes it even worse or better....if you are enjoying the chinese fabrication show so far. I have to take another pic of that, post later.

Couple of pics of the super power iron fist casting technique and the superb finish it results in. High flow bumps and casting imperfections err I mean improvements

I knew the lead sinkers I make in the back shed were too smooth to work well after seeing this.

You need special chinese hose clamps to hold onto these sort of oval-ish shaped cast nipples.

Did someone say " Hey How about some totally sick chrome painted plastic air filters! " ?

No?

Check out these "metal look" "Trust - style" airfilters. Yes the nut on the top comes with a light protective 'rust coloured' coating from the factory. No need to wait!

Those little bumpy bits are chunks of plastic from the moulding process. They are super high octane and ready to go into the motor at times of high boost for extra performance. They rub off easily along with the chrome paint with just your fingers. Cool stuff ! :banana:

I've got the intake stuff off at the moment to get at some other things.

So I might demonstrate the issue the pipes I have seem to have with the flange angle. The angle of the flanges ensure a perfect non-fit. I can see how these ones were cast badly on the flange sides . It's possible to get them to fit if you cut them and reweld the flanges back on at the correct angle. They are only slightly off but, enough to ensure they will never fit.

Then again do people have enough info now, to know why they should go out and buy 4 sets right away

...... to save me the touble ? :banana:

Does it come in lilac?

I'll come to autobahn88's rescue lol

i have the intercooler piping kit on my car, came with the intercooler i got

and i cant complain, it does what its meant to and lines up pretty well etc

hey they had to have one positive comment right? lol but i see ur point, above pictures show some pretty dodgy work

the pics of the flange on the table was pure gold!

just for interests sake I'll take some pics of my actual trust kit as opposed to the trust "inspired" or trust "style' or even better "T Style" kits out there. i could have misplaced faith in japanese parts but my bet is the flanges are flat, the casting is smooth, the round bits are round not oval and there is no jagged bits of pipe or 'e-z-break' plastic.

i just realised maybe the non-flat flanges are designed to bolt to the chinese turbos which also come with non-flat flanges as factory finish.... so maybe it's not the chinese piping that's at fault. it's your stupid japanese turbo-chargers with their stupid flat flange face... and your stupid japanese car with non spaghetti moveable engine mounts to allow proper positioning.

Ah yes Beer Baron. You have seen the true origin of performane parts just like eastern martial arts is China.

Actually that photo of the flange is of the 'least' warped one :P

Your faith isn't misplaced at all. Flanges are really easy to get flat from the cast. Hell I reckon some of the lead sinkers I've made put this casting process to shame.

The best way to modify this kit is with a furnace, donate the alloy blob to the alluminium can guys and then buy one of the trust bolt on kits.

The AFM necks to the air filters look way too short as well (they have warped flanges too). This would probably cause some signal issues for the AFM's.

Then again with those filters on thats going to be the least of your problems.

To those who have bolted the supplied filters on my big tip is don't take them off immediately because you will miss out on the super plastic octane booster. :O

Let us know if you lose a turbo or two in the future if you decide to keep them on though, or if you have had a failure since putting them on. It will only be due to the turbos not being qualtiy chinese of course but, it will bo good to keep score.

ok, well for the fun of it I'll pull a trust kit out of it's box over the next day or so and post some pics of the same parts you posted. though I know what the outcome will be as I had one on my last GTR and it worked bloody beautifully... damn those japanese and they quality parts. they keep me broke.

here are some pics of it fitted on my last car. the new owner reports they are a piece of cake to take on and off too as needed, and that's with the larger Z32 afms too.

yeah i'm pretty sure they do. i'll check when I take some pics. i think with this car though I'm going to try and adapt my apexi power intake filters to go with trust kit. i love the trust kit but can't fking stand the yellow filters and i really like the apexi filters (they are bellmouth on the inside too). hks make black replacement ones for their mushroom but no such luck with trust. if I can't get the apexi filters to fit i might at least swap to the blue or red trust filters to tone things down a bit. I might paint the chrome cage black too. I think that would look nice.

btw, looking at the pics again reminds me why I bought the kit again for this car. it's such a different look to the GTR engine bay. i love it. it's expensive, but good value if that makes sense.

The dodgy filters have blue foam. They cost about $19 from just jap so if the diameter was the same then you could throw away the rest of the filter and keep the foam.

Give me the diameter of the trust set and I'll check for you.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
