Was going to post this in the forced induction section, but I doubt "story telling" will be favoured by the mod's.

Car's been off the road for the good part of a year (September).

Built motor (standard capacity), .84 t04z & fair bit of weight-loss .. looking for 400+ kw.

Yet to score a ride in a t04z powered R, or anything single turbo'd to match (been in a t88).

So if any owner's want to share their experience's..

How it feels, adrenaline factor, how it come's on etc etc.... Just trying to butter myself up for the future.. Shouldn't be much more then a month away.. Great deal of time, money & sleep less nights involved during the build up... Hope it lives up to my expectations ;):thumbsup: :thumbsup: me up..

TO4Z does feel quick when they come on. The rush is very cool.

With that said, for a car that does anything other than circuits with a lot of flowing corners, i think you'll find the GT35R or twins a better matched setup for stock capacity :P

Yeah i know its been done to death, he's trying to revive it it seems :P

Tomek; The T04Z is a great turbo, feels very strong when hard on, and has no problem turning tyres hard or netting a big number on a dyno. Ive given a quite fast GTR (t04z, rb26) a good hard drive on multiple occasions, road, twisty hills etc - in the twisty stuff you'll crave either a smaller AR or more capacity to bring it on earlier. Normal street driving, well to be honest, youll be thinking the same things. Like i said, in an environment where the car is flowing from corner to corner without losing too much speed you'll love it. What sort of power are you realistically going to be seeing from the car after its run in and tuned?

GT3582R would be a better "big single" for a stock 26 but it will be exciting... once it comes on boost

Far from stock :P

Yes, I did start the previous thread, not trying to revive it.. Didn't post it in the forced section because I have completed all my research and know what to expect "Spec" wise.. there is only so much "specs" can tell you.. This thread was more of a gimme the warm sensation details... You don't spend so much time, effort & money to just wait for it.. Like I said it's getting sooner to completion and im getting excited..

Looking for 420+ and will see how much leeway is in it to get more, but not overly fussed.

What was this car doing atw before the rebuild?

Got a basic list of parts for the build?

This part is the worst of it all, well to be honest the worst part is the night before its first power run :)

The car was making 237.9kw (Didn't have access to an 4wd dyno) The engine was running fine when it was removed, we decided to pull it out when we couldn't remove one of the high pressure line bolts on the turbo system, lol.. it was only meant to be a budget freshen up, (pistons, bearings, gaskets, n1 pumps) but it scaled up quickly.

05U block 20 thou over HKS pistons, eagle rods, 33 crank, Trust pump, acl bearings, HKS gaskets

worked head, new everything.. 262 cams, greddy cam gears

Ross balancer, trust oil cooler + relocater, cooling pro 100mm cooler, trust radiator, n1 water pump

2x 044 pumps + standard as lift, surge tank, 800cc injectors, nismo fuel reg

jjr coil packs + HKS twin spark

Link G4 controlling the show

Im sure their is more i've missed, but pretty much every corner is seen to and did my best to not skimp on parts.. standard box atm..

It was sent down to Advan, who did the machining :) It has all the little tricks to keep it reliable (orifice, drain, sump)

worst part being? worrying it will pop? shit yeah :P

Some good stuff in there.

Dont worry about the stock box, mines on the stock box with a stupidly short shifter and i work it through the gears - just dont miss 3rd and it should be fine :cool:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • 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
