what exhaust housing did you pick and why?

I didnt realise that this was an interview... I will post the turbo specs soon.

Bump also wondering if your using the stock exhaust manifold?

Yes I am using the standard manifold.

What star sign are you?

Do you like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners?

Do you make love on a bed of frangipanis?

Update:

Parts have arrived and I have spent quite a few days in the garage putting them all in :)

I love reading this on the side of the box (usually means there is something nice and shiny inside).

Genuine Nissan water pump (had too many problems in the past with inferior water pumps).

Wastegate actuator mount and connector pin had to be modified to get them into the right position.

All parts now installed, the next step is to make up a custom intake pipe for the turbo, replace all oils and fluids and then a dyno tune!

More pics to come (sorry Michele, still no Frangipani stickers) :P

Stay tuned.

Im hoping to have it running in the next 2 weeks, but it wont be driving on the road until its tuned and I have had a few other "goodies" installed :P

It should all be finished by the end of this month... Fingers crossed :P

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
