i then lost the rear turbo ;) so i ordered these bad mofo's

Garrett GT2860R-5 good for 360 hp each specs below

kn707160-5.jpg

GT2860R-707160-5 turbo changers which are direct replacement items for the Nissan skyline R32/33/34 GTR. They are rated to 360hp each, 720hp combined, and have the following specifications:

* Ball bearing

* Oil & Water-cooled bearing system

* T25 turbine inlet flange with threaded bolt holes instead of traditional through holes

* Turbine housing has a unique "compact" 5-bolt outlet that is not interchangeable with traditional T25 5-bolt outlets

* Turbine housing is cast from high-nickel "Ni-Resist" material for extreme applications

* Turbine wheel is cast from "Inconel" material for extreme applications

* Direct replacement upgrade turbocharger for GT2556R (702987-7) used on Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R

* Great size for applications w/ packaging constraints

* Ideal for smaller displacement engines making up to 360 hp

* Turbine housing option available

* Turbine housing options allow turbo to be outline-interchangeable with other turbos using the traditional 5-bolt turbine housing. Housing fits over turbine wheel but actuator/wastegate fitment may need to be adjusted.

i also bought some dumps

put subframe collars in today - these make the rear end solid and makes life easier when getting sideways

P2100101.jpg

ordered a full urethane diff mount bush kit from uas in Sydney

the worn rubber just above the hicas

P2100099.jpg

What i thought was a fuel pump

turned out to be an afm issue but oddly enough upon opening them and buying all the soldering gear the connectors had not come loose inside which is the main problem with rb26 afm's

althogh there was a little surface rust around some of the solders on the board

so popped on to sau and the prices for used ones went from $150 for the pair up to $850

i went to molindiner and got the cheaper ones and they were as new

we plugged them in and car is well again

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
