A lot of people have them, no doubt. It's all in the setup though.

not forgetting when Justin's results and opinions were made... majority of higher powered -5 turboed GT-R's are only coming around in the last couple of years. and even still now, most only get mid to high 300's...

Big dollar and R&D projects always get better results.

No doubt. A mate in 05 had a -5, standard engines GTR making 300. That was considered a half decent result. Now it would be considered a joke. Setups, fuel, ECU's, exhaust sizes (a 3 inch IS NOT BIG ENOUGH) and possibly tuning methods have come along way!

I had trust T517z 10cms on my old engine/setup, completely stock engine made 370kw at 24psi, then popped a head gasket lol

Was laggy but when they came on Hang on !!

That setup has been sold, engines been forged and running a 6266 getting tuned on Friday, keen for results !

The whole 'lethargic, but when it comes on.... HOLD ON' thing... Isn't that just turbos making the power they should, but being a nugget through the mid range?

Cars, power, times and not least, everyday performance all depend almost entirely on the seven P's. perfect prior planning prevents piss poor performance. I have used 5's on a dead stock 26. Wasn't particularly blown away. Buuuuut, when I started building and improving, they really started to shine. Would I have 5's again? You bet. Would I build a different way? You bet. For today's fuel quality and cost of performance parts for 26's, you'd be mad to not build a tough 26 and run it on Jew brew AND still look like a stock engine bay that can peel your eyelids off when you give it the nuts, because let's face it, the police these days are getting smarter, and the bullshart fines are also getting worse.

I've personally built big power 8's and after looking at graphs and seat of the pants, for a stock as ya nannas undies look with big block torque, can't really go past a 2.8 with a well sorted set of 5's and Jew brew.

he he he...

The garretts are a pretty good choice....

I ran my T517Z's 7 years ago- they were the best option for me at the time. No graph.

They may out perform on a dyno... but it's hard to argue with 138mph in a full weight r32. havn't seen many -5 cars run those sort of numbers on a stock motor in full trim?

I don't like -5's the same as I don't like 'itard- Apple' products....

Wasnt nitrous used when you ran 138mph?

Not really... the torque delivery, it's the way torque not the power multiplies and gives you that rush.

Wasnt nitrous used when you ran 138mph?

Yeah, I was shooting a very fatt 50hp (read, probably 25hp gain) shot to get me off the line. As much as anything it provided a consistent intake temp thus more consistent times between day and night. Call it 2mph at best.

Ok cool. No lag + nitrous = crazy

There is still lagg.... but your launching well within the torque curve.

There is no massive push from that sort of nitrous. It's more like driving on a cold day v's a hot day.

Nitrous is one of the most over rated yet least understood power 'adder'.

Funny how the same setup work for some and not for others

I had everything like you minus cams (but with cam gears ) and could only manage 370kw

That's with HPI 3" dumps, custom twin 3" into 3.5" front pipe, custom 3.5" cat back, arc front mount, etc etc !

stock head... drop in 260deg cams.

bone stock 15yo engine

bolt on turbo's, dumps, cooler/pipe work, rb20 afm's, PFC, fuel system on 98.

J.

Wow minimal mods nice work. What was you mph off nitrous?

Edited by Ryan1200

NOS was the number one mod in the fast and furious movie, yet 12 years later and its the least used mod, it's pretty amazing that hardly anyone uses it. I think E85 and billet turbos outperforms it by far interms of reliability and price.

^This 34 made 842rwkw with Nos and 963rwkw without ..lol

I just bought a car yesterday with 10cm units fitted, will be interesting to see how I like them as my last Gtr had -5's. Justin you would know the car, silver, jun engine bits, built in Hobart......

Is that a stroker ? I would imagine these turbos to be perfectly suited to a 2.7/2.7L etc

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
