The RE5 locks when cruising on light load but only in drive. If you flick it into manual it locks every gear. I have disconnected it for the street as the lockup clutch cant handle the torque/converter flare, but on the dyno I have 12v switched straight to the by-passed solenoid making the box behave like a manual. I may have to put a manual clutch or transbrake into it one day soon.

I believe the afm is like 3 1/4 " or sumthing. Plus I've gutted the afm. No 1" bar across the middle. Most people run pfc with an afm Which still has an inch of thick plastic to create turbulance etc. I duno. Look ideally Wed all have no pod filter and almost zero exhaust for altimate flow. Lol. If I can get 500rpm off with actuator fiddling etc. This will be an insane setup. 600hp full boost at 3500. That's like hard to even comprehend. Lol

WTF???

That's strange behaviour?? Pretty sure commodore torque converters dont do that. I thought the idea was that you dont want too much load when the torque converter is locked otherwise you will burn it out.

Hey scotty i have a similar 2 tonne barge, albeit a Subaru Liberty Gt spec B Wagon with the EJ25, i am running the GTX3076r with a 0.82 Tial rear exhaust housing and on a run in tune with 20psi of boost its making 274kw, just need to sort out some fuelling issues and will push the boost a bit more. I am running a 3inch exhaust with a 5inch body 100cell cat, there was no difference power when running with and without. Will also pass the visual Cat inspection. ;)

yours is a great build, keep it up!

Dont ask me Jeff, Mr Nissan designed it that way. :)

Its supposed to be sporty in manual mode so the converter locks to provide full power and economy with no flare. The issue is it slowly tries to lock over 2 seconds after the gearchange, which is fine at stock power and with the stock converter but with 2 1/2 times the torque and 4000 stall instead of 2500 it has no chance. Thats why I cut the wire to the lockup solenoid.

As the new vic hoon laws have come into effect I have decided to plumb the external back in today if I get a chance.

Want to sell your Tial .82? I cant find one anywhere, Tial are out of stock worldwide. :(

LOL, I didnt look but yeah thats pretty insane.. Must be compensating for the price. Thats usually how average ebay sellers make stuff look more attractive on the surface

Absolutely do not want to start a shitfight, but did you consider a Kando 10cm housing? Had I gone Garrett I would have definitely used that housing.. its like $160 delivered! T3 and Vband out.. For that money it might be worth your trying (I know you fab your own stuff).

I already have the Vband Tial adapter made so I would obviously prefer the Tial housing but that one shares the compact packaging I required. I know HKS managed to fit the T3 adapter but the Vband is hard enough to tighten in that tight space without 8 bolts to do up. Imagine putting a ship in a bottle using 17mm spanners. >_<

cut and shut the bell-housing and run a clutch with the auto behind, best of both worlds. Use the clutch pedal for take off then the auto takes over. Pretty easy conversion if you have access to a lathe and cnc machine..

Haha. Don't panick. I'm not running an Afm. Its there for good looks. Hence the gutting.

is it all sorted? been meaning to call but been pulling some crazy 6am to 11pm days for a week or so.

Nah. Going in next Monday for a few days. I've got a few other things I want sorted but I still needed to ask u a couple things. Do u mind if we have a really quick chat after 6pm tommorow? Or no good? Thanks heaps....

So instead of transbrake clutch in and use a two step or something to build boost in neutral then drop it?

Wouldn't a transbrake be cheaper?

That could get confusing LOL, but I like the idea!

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
