xfixiate- you got the gtr going yet ?

GTR finally up and flying. Runs fairly well - still has some settling in to do.

Custom number-plate ordered - got the current plates percehed on the parcel shelf.

BBearing steel turbos work a treat - come on low and smooth - no big power spikes. One WRX was done in second gear. Will be taking it to Hidden Valley to check the 1/4 mile times in April

I am back!! Japan was bloody cold, -12 in Sapporo. BBBbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrr snow. Very good for dorifto though. Autosalon was wild, some many really great cars under one roof. I recommend it highly.

Cheers,

Ken

Noooo, not signed up but will get to it at some stagea (jk). Maybe Prank or Blitz could PM all the NT people in case they do not use the forums regularly (auto email notification). I like your avatar mate, it is schick mate, you can almost see my Staj! Are we advertising this week? Let me know some costs.

Cheers,

Ken

Thanks Andy!

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
