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......

Ed's GTR was his life and soul for a looong time... Be nice to her :3some:

Seriously though... you pretty much just bought the tomei engine catalog.

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

That either smoked the rollers or someone can't set up N20 to save them self...

N20 is amazing stuff... but it's like anything, it's all in the details. There might be a handful of people in Aus who really understand nitrous... and not many can relate that knowledge to small capacity fuel injected boosted applications.

sorry to hijack thread but has anyone found results for the Hks T51R SPL i've seen claims of on boost by 3800 and 36 psi by 5 grand

WTF.... why would you ask about a T51R in a -5/T517Z thread???

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

Stock stroke, 272 10.5 cams etc, having only just picked it up I'm keen to check af ratios ignition timing etc before I stick my boot into it, currently running 1.5 + bar.

Actually the jun catalogue, but yep, have plans to tidy it up a bit. Check the tune, etc. I'm interested to see how the trust puppies perform, I lent on it a bit on the way home, slight bit of shuffle up a hill, has map sensor not Mac, so all was good. Will be interesting.

Hi folks, sorry to bring up years old post, but I am in the US and we are terribly late in getting into the Skylines.

Is HKS GT-SS kit still available?  Many websites still list it for sale, but HKS' official website is showing this kit discontinued...

Purchase Garrett garrett -9's. They're  the same same.

Thanks for the reply!  I did some more search on Garrett and GT-SS, and I find the new Garrett "-2's" are basically GT-SS copy?  Would you folks know anything about the -2's?

You mean -9?

-9s are exactly the same as the gtss but doesn't the hks actuator 

Hmmm here is what I find.  

The Garrett part number for -9's is 707160-5009S and for -2's is 836026-5002S.  The turbine side is identical for both, but the -2's has updated compressor side for improved response and basically a GT-SS replica.  Both belong come from the GT2859R series instead of GT2860R, so neither comes with actuator but can be added anyway.

According to HKS' own website, it's supposedly better than GT-RS throughout the entire RPM range.  I guess that means GT-RS probably will be discontinued sooner or later...

Looked into it, we still call them -9s just under the new part number. Yes they are the gtss 

I just want to make sure I am getting the right turbos... 

I am also interested in getting Tomei's exhaust manifolds, but is that a waste of money?  Since the inner port size of -9's flange is smaller than the port size of Tomei's flange?

Word has it from experienced turbo tuner on the rb26 TOMEI exhaust manifolds and other exhaust manifolds will increase lag.

Are GT3 based on GTX technology.

I Just wish HKS could just release a full range of GTX Bolt on twins for RB26

Have done a back to back myself about 6 years ago. Took off a set (which was the second set in total) of Tomri manifolds and went back to tickled stock items. No difference at all. On top of that, the second set blew a hole in number 1 runner within 1,500 kms. They're garbage.

Put the money you save towards something useful, like an aftermarket front diff.

As for GT-RS's. No one would miss them if they wernt made anymore.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
