Hey everyone,

I have finally put pictures up on Gallery of my car. I had so many problems getting them to upload, but it's all sweet now.

I suppose it's a GTv because it has HICAS but if anyone else can tell me anything else from the photos, that'd be great. Any hints, comments question would be great.

cheers

Chanz

Hey man I have a gt-v myself, check your brakes if the front brakes are the bigger calipers with the nissan logo on them then thats a big sign that it is a gt-v, unless the previous owner has done a break upgrade, also your rear suspension should have the forks at the bottom for mounting rather than the eyes and one more thing to note is your diff, gt-v's have the gtt diffs but i have no idea on how to tell the diff. maybe someone else can help out with that.

To start off I'm putting a spoiler on it on the weekend, I brought it off one of the girls on the forum.

Also wanting to do some rims, but I'm not in a huge hurry , what would be the ideal size to still keep the same handaling characteristics etc and not nessecitate me to get it lowered? maybe 18's with low profils will lower the car and look better but wont they not fill the gaurds.... hmmmm

noooo 4 doors should be spoiler-less. you'll ruin the flow of your car's lines. please go into the 4 door sedan/taxi section and check out the hot rides thread for ideas.

also if you're gonna rock 4x4 profile suspension don't go big rims, the car will look like some lebo from sydney owns it.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
