FMIC on standard turbo is crap.

When i had mine fmic fitted to standard turbo ( i also had SAFC) - it destroyed the car..... was a much nice and quicker car to drive with standard IC. I decided to piss the car off instead of replacing turbo and the like.

It just left aq bad taste in my mouth.

Paul,

YOu know people buy kidneys/internal organs for large sums of cash! (read: 25k for a kidney!) now there's a gauranteed source of income....

until you run out of shit to sell.....

mmm, embalmy!

If im older and I don't need mine, im putting them on eBay!

yep .... just wasnt happy with it, had comp retuned and few other times tried to make it "nicer" but in the end i just didnt like it.... so waved the bitch goodbye.....

Daniel

PS - thanks Kim for the compliment. ;->

macka has run a 12.98 on one of your crappy 'high-flowed' turbos which still stands as the fastest R33 gtst on the forum i believe. he makes full boost by 3500rpm which alot more driveable than the 4500rpm lagmonsters going around today. do some research cos i believe you are the one 'dribbling shit'

So you've obviously talked to macka to find that he's had months of issues finding the right match of compressor/exhaust housing's to compressor/exhaust wheels. He's also had issues with compressor surge, so all the time and money he's spent dont you think it would have been easier to just buy an aftermarket turbo? Go for a drive in paul's car and tell me its a lag monster... just remember to bring a spare pair of jocks.

does the name GCG turbochargers mean anything to you? i dont think they would be so successful if high flows were so 'shit'... there are plenty of people making 350 at the wheels with alot better driveability on these high flows.

back to the original argument tho, have we all agreed now that for 5,000 you cant replace the turbo.

How much do GCG charge to "hi-flow" a turbo?

Nissan GTS-T R32 & R33 Upgrade of Standard Turbocharger:-

The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models. The upgrade comes in two stages.

XTRGTST-STG1 450hp rated $2250.00

XTRGTST-STG2 500hp rated $2450.00

Taken direct from their site. Oh gee, why dont I send off my turbo and for $2250 I can get it "hi-flowed" to 450hp... get real, you're best of buying a gt28 or a gt30.

hey adam try toning down your comments and stop being so confrentational!

and just so you know macka doens't have the fasts R33 gtst

that goes to some guy in qld who has run a 12.8

then theres the vic guy whos run an 11 but hes has a

Actually you gotta do a helluva lot better than a 12.98 in a GTS-T to be at the top of the list nowadays. Take a look at my thread here (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=22444)

R33 GTS-T

01. 12.260 = Buster (1.85 60ft, 118.30mph)

02. 12.380 = matlowth (2.38 60ft, 123.45mph)

03. 12.408 = WET33 (1.98 60ft, 111mph)

04. 12.412 = Merli (2.03 60ft, 114.47mph)

05. 12.900 = BOOSTD (2.2 60ft, 111.49mph)

06. 12.988 = macka (2.25 60ft, 113.35mph)

That 12.260 was done with ~320rwkw with more power to go so a 12-flat isn't far from happening. It looks like Macka has the power just not the traction to put down a -really- good time. If he could get a 2.0 60ft a 12.5 would be on the cards. Still though I personally would be happy with any <13.0sec daily driven GTS-T.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
