some people aren't just after the peak power output, but rather a quick spooling turbo for the streets with a fatter power band. its really upto the individual
I agree although would you be happy with a 20rwkw (peak) increase (over the standard r33 turbo) after spending $2,500 on an aftermarket turbo?

Edit: ...and running 17psi vs 12psi.

I think i'd be "over" 20rwkw after about 6mths and it would be a waste of $2,500 to me (personally).

I wonder what the average power is tho with that hi-flow.

Cheers Benm,

Thanks for the kind words guys

Robo: I was on the same mental track as you. Pulled the turbo off to reviel a stock unit. Just goes to show what they can do. I found strangly enough installing a new fuel pump made the most difference power(044) .....may be the key. It was last dynoed @ 218rwkw@ 15psi before the run. I did however run octane booster and dial in an extra 2 degrees advance for the night. My 2.2 was due to severe axle tramp. I have since installed solid bushes and am now running 18" 255 Nitto Extreme ZR Tyres.

Bigcarl: I was running 17" 255 @ 18psi Bridgestone Regano's (jap)

Robo: On the Dyno the fuel supply was fine , however I found on on road testing if I kept my foot into it through the first three gears it was start running out of fuel. On the dyno the car is only ramped in fourth and so the issue wasn't apparent. 4th and 5th had a noticable difference. Have you noticed if you just sit in say third then dump it it feels faster than getting to third after thrashing 1st and 2nd.... (keeping in mind constant intercooler temps)

I spoke to the guys from GCG today at Drag Combat (WSID) and it was $1,900 for either a 450hp or 500hp (same price) + $400 for something else (they dont have any "ready built") so you have to drop ur turbo off and it takes them 2 days to hiflow it.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
