I'm not sure if the stock R34 plenum gasket is rubber or not. you need to get the metal one with rubber O rings in them. I found the rubber ones gets blown out under high boost.

Cometic plenum & manifold gasket are both steel :thumbsup:

Yup got a genuine turbo gasket set but not from JJR. Including the gasket from the turbo to dump pipe.

Parts to go on this weekend:

  • SS2 Turbo
  • Manifold from Stao which has been opening up a bit for better flow
  • ID 1000 Injectors
  • 3Inch JJR bellmouth dump pipe
  • Cometic plenum gasket (When I do the injectors)
  • Cometic manifold gasket
  • Genuine turbo gasket kit
  • New nuts and bolts

Power coming at ya.

Just bought water meth for my SS2 so maybe ill see you in mine....unless your going on e85 :(

No e85 here

My car is still my daily

Would like to be able to go on road trips without 6 jerry cans in the boot :P

Hence me using water meth.

Tank should last 1 tank of fuel on the track or 3 months on the street :)

On this note I have a nice little kit I would like to sell ;)

Come at me bro!

I looked long n hard and thought about hitting you up but unfortunately and no offence but it was my least preferred kit.

Each to their own, but thanks for helping my cause :P

I had planned it for a very high comp DE+T setup, but since then went about forging my DET instead.

So its fairly redundant to me now as my SS1PU will do what I want it to do without the WMI.

Hey Stao, do you have a comparison dyno graph of the G3 with original rear housing flange and the type B one I got from you?

Under ATR43 and there are dyno readings from both Type A and Type B rear housing from the G3.

Thanks. If I'm changing from type A to type B, do I need to get a new gasket of some sort for the new flange to go on? I just want to make sure I have all parts ready for the swap over.

I'll have a new dump pipe gasket & new dump pipe, so I mean between the turbo rear housing and the flange plate itself.

LOL thats a good idea. In practice I am told its like having E85 on tap - which helps those who don't have the stuff available.

For me my entire car hits a whole other level of money, time and effort at anything above 240kw. So instead of going for my ultra responsive 10:1 CR 240kw on WMI I have gone for an SS1PU with a DET motor instead. I think I will still get what I want with a little less off boost punch.

The WMI kit would make my setup even better Im sure, boosting power to 280odd shouldnt be an issue.. But the issue there is that SR gearboxes arent so 280kw friendly and neither is my near new clutch. So rather than reinvent the wheel I have worked so hard to create I am just going to enjoy my 240 kw and sell the unused WMI kit.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
