has anyone heard from Ghostrider lately? i have tried to contact him several times but still no luck, PM me if you can help out...

oh and by the way i am not angry with him, just he might be able to help me track down my package he sent me.

yas - yeh that exhuast quote i said was for mild steel system with stainless steel muffler .. pretty much everyone does that unless u want wanky stainless all the way thru which ends up like doubling the price of the system! ive heard it can also crack.

600 or so would be for mild steel turbo back system. u can also get ur Catalytic Converter removed and dont need to replace with one coz ur car is post-86 so u dont need the Cat. then ur choice of muffler for ~250-300 depending where u get it and wat brand etc. !

So all up 850-900? Sounds about right... there was no way i was gonna do stainless steel turbo back anyway, was way outta my range :P

My car has a catalytic converter? *blank stare* and u meant pre-86 right? :)

My savings is going hell slow at the moment, gonna hafta wait at least a month or so to get it done, unless generous friends can chip in for me 21st... :):D

seriously though.. i wonder how many of you actually realise that 1 person ultimately pays to keep this site running (and you should see how much traffic this site goes through!)..

If disclosable, how much does it take for this site to run? PM me if u have to... just curious.., if u cant disclose it dont worry i wont cry :P

Stainless isn't that expensive. A full stainless system with a hotdog resonator + a 4 inch cannon set me back $950. Its worth spending the money the first time around. Stainless is also a lot stronger so if you do happen to bottom out badly on a speed hump etc it wont crush as easy.

As for the cat, depending on which state you are in and the laws, cats are still needed on pre '86 cars. I couldn't get my exhaust engineered because the engineer told me that if it runs unleaded it needs the cat. The Japs have used unleaded since the 70's!

Hey guys,

I thought i should post in here even though i thought i did earlier..... Oh well maybe in the pages of lost information...

I have an 85 oz spec hatch

L20ET dropped in, supra fmic, 2.5" Turbo back exhaust, K&N pod, Wolf 3D ECU with hand controller, Koni street-special height adjustable shocks, don't know what else hahha...

I have a couple of questions for the L20 gurus,

Will the L24E head gasket fit on my engine? ie, is the L24 larger bore or stroke? I have burnt an exhaust valve out due to shitty tuning causing detonation and need to find a head gasket so I can fix it....

Also, are the valves the same as the L24, or for that matter, any other engine?

Had my car dynoed at work when it dropped the cylinder with the burnt calve (well 30psi compression is a dropped cylinder to me) and it made 135rwkw on 1 bar so I guess the L20ET is pretty slow...

Lastly, does enyone know of anywhere in Adelaide that knows anything about the L20?????

Thanks for listening to me rant and rave, great thread getting close to 2000 posts...

Guys...

seriously.. start some new threads, don't just make a MEGAHUGE one!!

if it continues much more i will be forced to lock this. If you don't know what i am talking about then you obviously havn't read the other 1948 messages.. which is my point exactly.. no body else will look at this thread for research either!

I agree....there are a few things i want to find out, but as i'm on dial up there is no way im going thru it all (spose i COULD search)........some one with adsl should go thru this thread and delete the crap, leaving only tech information and personal dyno results etc, or even split it into two threads...tech/power,.... I'd gladly do it, but like i said....Dialup. ..:P

General chit chat should be kept in the wasteland(maybe an R30 subforum?)

boj01: photoshop....."Save for web" very good compression....

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
