Yeah no shit hey. Trying to find out about catch can setups/ oil mods for some piece of mind and just when I get some useful info someone two posts down trashes it.

All I want is a lightly tuned reliable GTR.

  • Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler
  • Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance
  • Pods or panel filters
  • clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps.

Too many options, too many chances of buying a brand thats not going to work well.

It's simple, there's ASSLOADS of recommendations out there. Easiest way to pick what works, go to the RB26 dyno thread, compile a part list, work from there. That way you know what works and what doesn't.

As for your list...

[*]Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler - JJR Autech catchcans are the trick, simple, cheap, easy

[*]Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance) - If you're not going to listen to heaps of people recommending you see Andrew, I won't answer this, he is cheap, does quality work and his service is second to none

[*]Pods or panel filters - Standard air box is good for 400atw, it also lets a shitload more cold air in through the air guide, do the math

[*]clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps - Clutch; a nice twin is my opinion but that's personal preference. EBC; anything like the Profec B or the Blitz SBC. Injectors; 700cc Sards, straight drop in, easy as (although not needed if keeping standard tubos). Cams; not needed. Fuel pump; I prefer the Nismo for straight drop in but you can get by with an 044 or 040 Bosch

There you have it, a nice, easy, reliable part list.

I pretty much agree with everything that Heslo said.

For an oil cooler get one that sits in the brake ducting rather than in front of the radiator.

As for cost buy from Japan - Nengun, Greenline, Perfect Run, Import Monster or RHD Japan. With the current exchange rate against the greenback check out some USA sites as well and see how they compare.

There is soooo much info on what to do with an RB26 on SAU that you can get lost but you will soon figure out who knows what they're talking about. Most of the oil mods won't happen until you open the engine so start saving for it. Until that time stay off the rev limiter and put an extra litre of oil in for track days or if you intend to do some launches.

:P So Chad, whats it like to drive a 300kw monster on the road

Entertaining! Just make sure you have good tyres, I'm running crap street rubber atm and the hills scare the crap out of me. 3rd gear plus boost = sideways, even 4WD does not help :P

may i ask what rubber? kumho's im guessing? have u ever tried the toyo t1r? if so, how does it compare?

-D

any one had any experience with fitting these?

i want to run it with this

in one of these.........

fuel tank in there atm hasnt been used in 3 years, so i hate to see the shit in the bottom, also

need to replace fuel pump anyways....

from what ive been told craig, you'd need a surge tank with that setup as well

the only fuel cell ive seen that doesnt require that is a polycarbonate model from autosport, which im purchasing for the 31 for circuit

Think of tyre brands most people haven't heard of before, I never buy good street tyres, i just use second hand crap. It makes driving more fun :P

iced cofee?

correct. well played.

sigh, dont get me started on IC atm..... coles have them for $1.44...

so when i did shoppin thurs night, i bought 15 of em

saves me buying one a day at 3 bucks....

in theory, they should have lasted me 15 days right?

wrong, i have one left.

and f*k it ima drink it nao

Hey Craig, Trent replied in that 17C thread you started in the Forced induction section, Seems it's a bit laggier than first thought with full boost (21psi) @ 4800RPM. That makes it as laggy as a TD06SL2-20G which would put you over the 300kw mark. I guess the old tech' compressor wheel isn't as efficient as the new stuff.

Yeah i'll take it, i'm planning on buying a stag' next year so i'll either use it on that, or clean it up, put a kit through it and see if i can make some money selling it on NS, here or on Ebay

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
