oops, sorry, I knew that :S. Dunno why I had 350 in my head. Maybe I was dreaming about e85 again

All good buddy. Had a customer ask for 350kw out of -7's today. I have never actually heard of them making that sort of power. 330 is even up there. Maybe with cams

nah 330 for -9's. :)

300 for -7's

Lol, he's name wasnt michael was it?!

On another note, whinny got a 32 GTR on saturday.

lol not me buddy :P ive already got 330kw aiming for more shortly haha

my last gtr made 296kw @ 19psi with -7's

My mistake :P

Wanna sell me your 3.5" front pipe lol

Cant you get BSA or another local fabricator to fab one? I guess you will need a new cat too, if you want to run one.

I would help if you were down here, I always wanted to make a jig for GTR front pipes but I have never been asked to make one. I guess there are too many brand name pipes getting around.

Just my 2c on this entire -9 vs -5 topic having been in cars with both setups i can safely say -9's will get boring rather quickly. For a car that is driven 1-2x a week i cant see why you wouldnt go the bigger power of the -5's.

All this lag stuff is nonsense too alot of guys in this thread are treating the -5's as if though their some t51r sized monsters, realistically the lag is not too bad at all. Going 60-70kmh in 4th and drop it down to 2nd. The difference in the pull of the -5's is whats sold me.

If your using your GTR for twisties where response is needed every week go the -9, for anything else -5's all day.

I agree with this

If you are only driving the car on weekends go the -5s I say

As mine is daily driven the -9 was my best option for application

In the end the biggest question you need to ask is what are you going to use the car for?!?

I walk to work and have a daily for the run around stuff.

So this car will be a good weather Weekender ONLY. Also planned a few long trips to melb ect.

Which got me thinking, a smaller turbo such as the -9 would almost always be sitting on boost on the freeway would it not? Same as a -7

So something like a -5 would provide better economy for highway driving as the turbos is not constantly spooling.

Or am i misguided on this one?

Either way this will not be a daily driver, But then again I want good response through the twisties. Which im sure -5s can still provide. Just not as good at the -9s.

nomnomv8- your comment has again swayed me away from the -9’s. But I really haven’t made the comparisons like you having sat in both cars.

Still looking for a -5 set up to take a ride in.

Do you have an engine that will handle the -5's?

or are you going to a have a laggy 350rwks and hope and pray that everytime you hit the throttle bits of engine arent going to fly out the bonnet?

LOL @ engine on boost driving down the highway

does the car do it now? NO!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
