or gt3040R with 44mm gate and screamer low mount

i want about 380hp street tune

not too much lag

cheers

actually, most setups with noisy exhausts, screamers, and bov's are just a big pain in the ass.

Do you know how many young dickheads have done burnouts, made heaps of noise, crashed, etc, and now, I can't even drive mine around the corner at 20kmph without some cop pulling me over and defecting me with shit like "intercooler pipe through the inner guard" or "exhaust hangs too low (when it doesn't)

If you put the screamer on, I hope you get defected and taken off the road, and lose your license.

There are too many idiots doing illegal shit, causing such drama for people that just want to own a fast car - legally.

There is nothing illegal about my car, I race it at drag meets, and drive very sedately on the street, yet I am harassed because of young dickheads doing stupid illegal shit thinking its great, giving skylines one big f**k off of a bad name.

My screamer/dump setup is flanged, so its plumbed back for the street and open for the drags/track.

thats fine then.

Just pissed about getting harrased for owning a skyline because of stupid shit others are doing.

You drive yours?

A real skyline owner has it on stands in the garage :banana:

I know what you mean Jono. A guy owning a T-Bucket can have exposed wheels and engine,no bumpers,110DB exhaust and side pipes though he is called an enthusiast and isnt looked at twice by the police.

But if you are an enthusiast with a skyline.....

Sorry for the hijack

It helped a lot when they passed the law re turbo's and 'P' platers...........

I'm with Mafia, 3037/3076/30r and plumbed back. If you go the screamer you'll won't be able to afford any more mods, you'll be to busy paying off your fines.

And if you put it on stands, drain the oil out, that way it doesn't leak [i even took those pesky pistons and crank out, it makes it much lighter to jack up on the stands].

the lad just wants to know what the best setup for his car would be, didnt need everyone elses bullshit input about being illigal.. Givve the guy a break..Have a lookk where the guys llves before start gobbin off about young skyline owners give others a bad name. He's most likely older then you anyway...

gt3040R with 44mm gate and screamer low mount, do it up....

i'd go a 3071 and an edxhaust cam gear for response... you'll get get like 350-380rwhp but have more response x 11ty

and on the subject of the t-bucket... 100% agree there... those things break about 8 million laws but NEVER get hastled

thanks for all your input guys but still not sure what to go with because as said the gt3040R setup has alot more potential if i rebuild it

for the record its a daily driven car and i turn 19 in feb

must set the record straight love my car and not all people my age are "dickheads"

getting back on subject

what would be the max power and response out of the gt3071R

and what would GT3040 max power be if i rebuilt it in 6 months or so?

looking at 380 up to 400 hp@wheels!

Edited by sickr33

i chose the gt3071r because it looks stock, goes hard, and is bolt up (no custom shit takes time and money)

and the GT3040r because there i a decent setup in the fore sale section.

i like the stock look and the ease of the gt3071R but i love the sound of gate!!!!

just means its alot more illegal

the GT3071 that you are talking about in this case sounds like it has been shoehorned into a nissan turbine housing.

the geniune whole garrett item needs oil and water lines just like the GT3040 plus new dump pipe and new intake.

Edited by wolverine

the turbine housing of the GT3071 GT3040 and of course nissan housings will bolt up to the manifold (+/- spacer as needed for garrett turbos).

the factory dump pipe will only fit a nissan housing it won't fit a garrett GT30 turbine housing.

the only true "bolt on" is a hiflow of the standard turbo eg. GCG hiflow. the factory oil and water lines obviously go back on and so does the intake and dump.

HKS GT-RS comes in kit form with all oil and water lines but bolts up in the standard spot with the factory dump pipe. this is the next closest thing to "bolt on". (ps. both GCG and HKS GT-RS will meet your power target with the best response)

every thing else (to the best of my knowledge) has varying levels of modification required to get them working.

ie. GT3040 will probably need the engine mount to be machined for clearance.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
