Hey Ben, any word if those holes weaken the bar excessively?

It looks good and should send more air towards the cooler. Very nice.

BTW, where did you pick up the inserts?

yeah, i didn't realise renaults could go so well :D

its funny you should mention that. i was removing some parts from the wreck today. no nissan branding on them. there was renault tho lol

Im sure it must loose some strength... hopefully not too much!

Picked up the inserts from Just Jap $165 Link HERE

Make sure you use R33 inserts not R32 as they have different curves on the insert lip

un opened motor on BP Ultimate.....oh and 15-16psi!

nice result.... query - what size injectors?

my rb25 with 3076IW runs S15 450cc injectors, around 85% duty cycle for 250@wheels. thinking if I add in 550's would get a similar result to yours.

the 370's stockies maxed at 225kw@wheels

The start isn't conclusive as the torque converter isn't locked and the car will kick back if not at a certain speed. You can see the converter locking as the dip at the start.

Rev limit is set at 7200 but they usually shift by 6500 anyway.

Not bad for a GT3071 in the stock housings, Garret .82 wont do that much better, its down around 10kw less than their housings by the looks of it.

May have to upgrade. lol.

might rebuild mine again if im not happy after wednesday :P

I guess its designed to crush during an accident, so it will still serve most of its purpose there. However, the front tow hook also mount onto it- I wouldn't expect it would have the strength to put it out of a bog/ditch anymore. Not much of an issue really, its not like we treat them like a Landcrusier! Except maybe Craig...

Ben - Taste is personal, good on ya for making it your own. If you like it, thats all that counts!:thumbsup:

Thanks man...

I've got 610cc in there....still room to move if I wanted as the highest duty cycle in have seen so far is 67%....that was a run to the end of third gear....I HAD to overtake a couple of semi's! ;)

And how fast were you going Craig?? lol

its surprisingly hard!

it disfigured in stephens accident but didnt twist or bend the rails. the entire car is dead straight. that bar took all the major damage.

I'd suggest plating the inside edges with some sheet alloy, then welding. That will give back a fair bit of strength.

It will also stop them filling up with small birds etc... :whistling:

Kudos mate, looks great!:thumbsup:

Spent a few hours cleaning the boat yesterday; quick wash, clay, swirl remove, polish, wax. Christ my right shoulder hurts :rofl:

Highlighted how badly my front bar needs to be fixed up too, lots of little chips at the front. The paint is silky smooth to touch now though.

post-69799-0-49372100-1295753041_thumb.jpg

looks great tho duncan. perhaps ask chipsaway (the company) for a touchup quote?

Cheers mate.

Yeah, I would if I didnt need more work done on the front bar - Ive got some cracks in the fiberglass on the passenger side near the headlights :( When I get that fixed up (and the dent above the drivers front wheel arch!) I'll get them to touch up/respray the front bar.

I know some of you are gonna be wanting shift kits installed in the upcoming weeks.

Well Im delaying my tune for about a fortnight - a month as I dont want to have slipping issues.

for the Vic Stagea owners, RVO Automatics in dandenong just quoted me $550.00 for an RE5RO5A(M35 box) Stage two Shift kit..... Installed! I had to ask him three times before he turned around and said "I own a C34 - I know what an M35 is" Lol

if anyone can tell me why I shouldnt take it there, I'de like to know as Im booked in next wednesday :P

Nice work Aaron! :)

No reason why you wouldn't take it there as I have not heard any negative things about RVO.

He knows the transmission.

He knows the car (!!!!)

The price is good.

I guess the only questions is workmanship, but someone has to be the guinea pig ;)

Ask him how much if I just send him the Valve Body....and what's the warranty.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
