OK so I got my new grill today....sprayed it up and fitted it.

Thoughts!!

P.S. I just figured out my bonnet is out of lineblush.gif

In my old age I am starting to LUV black. :rofl: :rofl:

Some gentleman ran into the side of the N/A today. Not too bad, about $1500. We were stopped at a light and the dude just drove into the rear P/S bar.

Thats fairly impressive, you managed to take two photo, minutes apart & from an identical position, with your finger over the lens both times :P

Looks good !

lol.....which one....I confused.....I know I like both!wacko.gif

P.S. It's the case on my Iphone4 not my finger's leaving the mark...lol!

The new one, probably because its a bit similar to mine :whistling:

ahh damn! glad youre ok mate

i think they need to do annual testing of older drivers from 70 now.

i got taken out by a 74yo lady who said she had a green arrow to turn. except she wasnt at that intersection.

I've been saying that for over a decade. If they can clamp down on p-platers driving turbo cars, how about annual testing for those idiot elderly drivers!

I see elderly people making big traffic blunders all the time. At least twice a year we get them driving the wrong way down the freeway/expressway.

:down:

The conditions today were clear, dry roads, total visibility ... yet he didn't see me :blink: Time to give it up gramps.

Just put a 32gtr blow off valve on the M35. fits nicely, sounds better...

just need to find a radiator hose i can stick in to make it plumb back again..

i dont really know what this is going to achieve however. i was bored and had the car apart in the garage

Bought one: http://www.northshoreprestige.com.au/view.php/used_cars/2001_Nissan_Stagea_250tRS_FOUR_White_5_Speed_Automatic_Wagon/4470190/

Does that count? :P

Plan at the moment is major service first and foremost.

Then need to decide next move. Intake runner spacer, exhaust, coilovers or front mount probably. Still undecided.

Yeah, I reckon that counts :thumbsup: .

I love what happens when you click on the link. It says "Sorry an inventory issue has ocurred". Interesting way of saying the car has been sold.

blacked out the headlights today, had to take the left one out to fix the seal as i saw condensation in there other day.. and thought while im at it may as well get the blacking out of the way.. I love the look..

did the oil and filter aswell.. once i put it all back together my engine check light came on.. anyone have any thoughts as of why??

im thinking when i moved the airbox and bumped the A/F meter just the usual amount when moving nothing violent..

it shoudnt be to do with the lights right??

anyways enough work for today i will run diagnostics tomoro.. see what i find..

car runs fine no different at all..

anyway pics

Nah, won't have anything to do with the lights.

Did you have the car running with the AFM unplugged? Doing so always brings up the CEL.

If so, it will go away after a little while.

    • 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?
