It won't be a 76mm turbine.

If it is a 56mm or 60mm turbine with a 71mm compressor then it will be a GT3071 hybrid. So about 425 to 450hp.

GCG have machined a massive turbine into the back, (you could be right with 71mm) which is why I didn't go for one as the rear housing can't handle the flow that size wheel requires.

I dont think you could go much larger than 60mm compressor wheel either without breaking through the compressor housing. Mine is 56mm.

I would say that Craig's comp is 71mm or 76mm

That's what I wanted to hear Glenn, thanks for the impressions of the turbo :D

Can I ask why your mechanic decided to go with ~60mm tube for the suction pipe instead of staying with 76mm all the way through?

I rang the mechanic earlier today, and his thoughts were that going bigger than 60mm would make a very small difference if any. He said something about the pipe being the same size as the intakes on GTRs.

I also enquired about getting other pipes made up. He said a rough quote would be about $500 to make and fit. He's going to talk to someone later this week about getting a run of exact duplicates made from mine to see if a run of 10 would be possible if the demand is there. I'll let everyone know when I find out about that.

Don't the GTR's have two intake pipes that size?

Cam, if Craigs compressor is really that big and he's running the standard intake, that could be the source of his backfire problems...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
