cool thnx. I went to dr drift sometime last year and he said $900 to do it.

But il go pass again and ask him.. (busy man)

If u dont mind me asking, How much power did u get with the set up that i got now?

thnx harey :P

I have the same as you except I still have the stock dump pipe. I made 190rwkw with the boost dropping down to ~9psi at redline. Car feels very strong, especially the mid range. Overall I am very happy, I have even decided not to go the next step of bigger turbo etc because it feels great on the road. I am not really into 1/4 mile racing etc, just want a quick streeter. Car is super smooth.

You should make very close to 200rwkw.

cool.. 200rwkw with 10psi right?

im going for 12psi. close to 220rwkw?

thats when the fuel pump comes in yea?

Whats your budget? and are you planning on something big in the future?

well if your asking me, My budget is about 6-7k. im looking for 250+rwkw streeter and il be happy. If its gonna cost me that much, I was gonna upgrade it to a GTR.

Point me out to the right direction if u can plz.. good to see u made 300rwkw on yours.

thnx

proven 250+rwkw setup. please keep in mind the price ranges go from basic just jap shit to high end japanese brands

minimum 3" turbo back exhaust ($1500 - $2500)

040 bosch fuel pump ($300)

FMIC ( $300 - $2000

Power FC (or alt REPLACEMENT ECU not piggy back) ($1500 - $2000)

highflow oem turbo (but personally id go with a gt28 turbo) ($800 - $1500 )

personally i would stay away from a highflow, its pointless and a waste. you can spend another $300 and get a gt28 turbo that flows almost 2x as much and is a much better. and you could sell your r34 turbo to someone who does want a highflow for a good $400. the key is to use good parts to give you room to upgrade on later on rather then replacing it all together like shitty piggy back ecus.

Highflow is not really a bad idea if you want to (try) to avoid being raped by the EPA. Same also applies to ECU's. That said if you aren't in vic, or your car is track only then get whatever you want :P

Or you could get a GTR. Most would say that the best money spent on upgrading a GTT or GTST is by selling it and buying a GTR :P

Also:

Injectors 500cc+

Z32 AFM

Upgraded Clutch

I would be surprised if you had it all up and tuned for 6-7k unless you can do a lot of work yourself.

Hi-flowed turbos with OP6 housings are proven +250rwkw turbos.

Off the top of my head I don't know too many GT28 based turbos with a T3 turbine housing unless they are mated to Nissan housings. The HKS GT-RS is one, (the HKS 2835 ProS doesn't count as it is a GT30 based turbo).

The statement about flowing almost 2x as much is completely incorrect.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
