I think I found the solution, they have a fitting similar in a way to what you've said. I've been meaning to swing by MSCN for the last few days but haven't had the time.

Hows your R34 build? Texi ready? (secretly hoping, I love watching you belt the shit out of the courses at Texi haha)

thats good to hear.

going slowly, finally got the oil pump last week and now trying to figure out how I'm going to do the external feed to it and keep the aircon. otherwise all thats left after that is the harmonic balancer, electric oil pump and the braided lines for turbos,breathers,pump and cooler. still a ways off yet

hahaha yeah texi, not this one unfortunately but was going to PM you about maybe helping out, but won;t know till closer to the day. wanting on a answer about a job in Gladstone

Mates 34 gtr

2.7 litre nitto motor

T51r kai

Vipec ecu

All the support goodies

600rwkw on E85

Granted its not anything as good as r35, I know this first hand haha

At what boost was this? Ill guess over 30psi?

Yep, AMS Alpha 12 kit. Minimum boost possible is 23psi. In the states they have the same kit running 30+ psi and they're pushing out around 970Kw at the wheels, crazy stuff.

out of interest and something I've always wanted to find out, what power level can the r35 take before it starts to break things and become unreliable?

I know the answer the answer is reliant on the mechanical sympathy u have for the car, surely there is a happy medium though :)

i remember reading somewhere people were finding 600-650hp were pushing the limit of the standard rods? but that probably relates to motorsport applications, rather than street cars i would assume.

not much different than rb rods?

With all due respect though, would you run 600cc injectors in your 650hp car just because they will probably 'be ok'?

Everything will suffer mechanical failure due to stresses eventually. There is no point putting a limit on them because at the price of a set of Spool rods, it's not even worth discussing their limit

not much different than rb rods?

:huh: given GTR rods have been proven to hold more, one would say yes - but end of the day who knows.

This is the 400rwkw thread, not the "what is the weakest part of a R35" thread.

Gtr rods are strong yes in rb's, I agree

Yes r35 is off topic but it sure qualifies in the over 400kw thread

GTR rods are strong. No the rod bolts aren't. For the $100 changeover in price it's stupid to even consider staying standard.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
