Ill be doing the 100k at the same time probably get a kit from Kudos or something, getting some quotes for -9s as well I think they would be best a lot of people think, as for clutch I'm not sure whats in it.. should I wait for it to go bang or what? lol

And yes I will take you up on that ride offer I think! coming to apple peel tomorrow night? if you can make it that would be sweet :D

Leigh,

I bought my OE Replacment 100k service kit, exhaust manifold gasket + stud kit from Kudos, defintely recommend them.

As for clutch, I'd replace them along with turbos - the less time the R spends in shop, more time you can giggle like girl every time it hits boost.

About Apple Peel meet, I may swing by seeing I'll be living close to the area.

Cheers

Grant

If the car is already in the shop and you can't do the clutch yourself get it done, but otherwise leave it until its stuffed and get your moneys worth out of it. It isn't that hard to change if you have 3 people, two to hold the gearbox and one to locate it. I managed it with just one other person and only axel stands, was a bit of a flamin mongrel trying to bench press the box in but we managed it in about 30 minutes.

Sounds good grant I will see you tonight then hopefully!

As for the clutch I suppose I'm better off doing it at the same time (don't want it to stuff up a drag day or anything) any recommendations or should I be going to the different section on the forum? :banana:

Leigh,

I've got OS Giken Triple plate in mine, I was recommended Nismo Coppermix Twin plate but I picked my OS Giken with pull to push converter kit for a price I couldn't refuse.

Hopefully I'll be able to pop in tonight as it's 5 mins drive from my new house.

Cheers

Only downside to R33 or R34 dumps, is it takes a 18mm O2 sensor thread VS the R32's 12mm O2 sensor thread.. can be tricky to get a bung that makes the sensor part protrude out far enough in the correct position (i've seen pictures of R33/R34 dumps with these bungs where the sensor just isn't far out enough into the exhaust gas flow to be effective)

Finally got the -9s in my hot little hands along with the Garrett actuators. Before I install them will the actuators be up to the task of handling 300rwkw? How do they compare to the HKS ones and should I maybe just buy the HKS ones?

  • 2 months later...

Well I have just been able to exchange my -5's for a pair of -9's. Can someone confirm the part number is correct - 707160-5009S?

I remember my -5's just read 707160-5. I am assuming Garrett has chnaged the numbering system along the way.

does anyone know the reason why -9's do not come with actuators, only as a additional add on option? is it simply just a money grab being the more "popular choice"

Most Garretts like that have a part number with and without actuators. Some ppl want to save as much as possible by using stock actuators.

The 707160-9 is without

The 780371-1 is with

Other than that, it's the same turbo.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if my understanding is coccerect here:

Garret -5's are very similar to hks 2530's? Which have most top end but least responsive?

Garret -9's are very similar to hks gt-ss? Unsure how they compare in terms of response and top end power?

Are garret -7's are similar to hks gt-rs? Least top end but most responsive?

If anyone could clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated...im bloody confused haha.

i am no expert but it goes like this

-5 AKA HKS 2530 - Good top end and good response also in RB26 with build internals and head work / Stroked engine, but for normal RB26 with stock internals / street driven a bit laggy, "this laggyness is not always clearly shown in a Dyno apparently, but noticeable on the road" when compared others. lot of people with -5 street driven and loving it

-7 AKA Nissan R34 N1 - good response and good balance of power for Street driven GTR , but by no means a bragging rights turbo when it comes to numbers

-9 AKA GT-SS - best response and good power for street package, but will run out of puff in the top end, better and new technology than -7 and most recommended for street package with mostly stock internals

-10 AKA GT-RS - big power figures and not so recommended for street GTR without built engine.

I will be getting -9 end of the year, not really interested in any thing else, unless -7 comes up in the forums for really good price

Just my 2C

Also check out single turbo conversion side of the world, if your thinking of GT-RS level of turbos.....

all around, good choice we have in GTR world i think

Cheers mate! That helps a lot.

Dash 5 similar but not the same as a HKS GT2530 , different turbine housing and compressor wheel .

I thought R34 GTR N1 turbos were a unique GT2556R and not an off the shelf GT2560R .

Dash 9 IS a GTSS and they are supplied to HKS without actuators so they can fit their own higher rate ones .

A .

read the dyno threads?

basically nothing below 5000-5500rpm on a 2.6-2.8lt, making 450rwkw+

and that's obviously taking into account the head work needed to support etc.

there is plenty of info in the pages here.

realistically unless you have a big budget 3lt+ motor or just pure drag race car 2.6-2.8lt, then they are a bad choice.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
