I need to spend less time on SAU and more time tuning my drifter aye :)

Been flat out with work. As u all know customers come first before my own cars. Well unless theres a race meet on.

Use excuse that tuning the drifter is good advertising... Good advertising = More customers

Have to spend money to make money :)

Just tune it farken! :thumbsup:

This. Then stock up on a bolt on kit consisting of:

Kando

Tial 44

NZ manifold

Dump

Intake

Cooler pipe

Then customers can drop off their car and you can install the kit PLUS tune it. Start emailing Suppliers of those parts (and a boily) and organise a 10 batch buy at discounted rates, pass on some of the discount to your customers with KICK ASS labour charge and your off n racing!

does anyone wanna buy a TD06 3" turbo front cover? lol

For potential buyers it is actually over $100 cheaper to buy the turbo in parts (cover/core/turbine housing) than it is to buy it complete.

I think there was a dude a few pages back showing his mates one with a 2.4" neck, I rekon he would want your 3".

You might save $100 but you then need to assemble and balance the turbo. So I would get a price on balancing it prior to buying it in peices.

Does that include oil/water lines?

what $100 for a balance..................the cores/wheels are already balanced

i think the surge cover will definitely fix my issue (at least i hope it will lol) :)

only time will tell.

They are right in saying keep it for now man, Lith did say the VCT could be your issue.

Remember changing the cam timing alters the motors effective VE, just like opening the throttle does. (makes the motor more efficient)

That being said different VE = different area of the graph at given RPM/boost.

CFM = L x RPM x VE x Pr

5660

So watch this..

2.5 x 4000 x 90 x 2.5 / 5660 = 397.5 CFM

Now look here (Ive picked 97% as a random number as an example):

2.5 x 4000 x 97 x 2.5 / 5660 = 428.45 CFM

= Higher CFM, meaning further to the right of the comp map. If that doesnt make sense, I did you a graph. Remember that the outermost limit of the map on the LEFT side is surge and the RIGHT side is heat (excessive heat).

Remember also, these are rough calculations.. The VE could be lower or the comp map could be a little mis represented.. Either way, a rough calculation shows the motor is pretty damn close to the surge line at 4000 rpm.

Now plot it yourself at 3700 RPM where you probably are hitting 20psi and watch it come even closer if not cross the line.

Balancing in the east must be cheap as chips then.

sorry mate the point here is the Kando chra's comes built and balanced. you then just buy the housings and lines.

i hope that clears it up for you

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
