more pics.

the roof doesnt have a cross in it mainly due to the fact i wont be able to fit in it since im a tall bastard. so having cage steel hitting helmet is not ideal. the next best we could do was a single bar down the centre, tied in with the roof.

also added some more rear bars for extra strength. rear stays are tied to the strut towers for max strength.

yeah its looking that way... bit of a bitch to get ducting through the two cages legs if i choose the quarter window path haha. if i do it though therear 1/4's im gonna need some custom fibreglass work done... got any suggestions?

Yea I know how to get the fiberglass work done but the problem is it costs a few hundred to make the moulds and I don't have any left lol. Might be cheaper to fabricate it from sheet metal, rivets and auto glue.

i might do a boot intake instead... might be more effective i think



pretty much done in the rear in terms of tube work.. there's rear 1/4 reinforcement, a jacking point, a rear bash bar, the frame for rad all done. just need to do ducting and fans.

^looks like much fun was had

why not feed air form the boot lid, then just thermo fans

The air flow over the boot will actually make it harder to suck air through, vents in the quarter glass or panels actually work a little like an air ram getting more air to the rad.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
