Then I have to ask the obvious question... Why are you running one?

I have plans to track mine, and at nearly 3 times the stock power I was a little worried. Now I have the sandwich plate fitted with temp and pressure sensors, I can see stable temps on the road but give it a squirt and they shoot up.

Because our car was not really designed as a ..... Track bitch......more of a family cruiser.....had they done a sports version of the m35 like the 260rs.......well we have all seen the 380rs haven't we!!!

Lol. Well I worked out my two choices, the Stillen and Nismo, would both be about the same, so I went to order the cheaper one (Stillen) only to get reamed on freight. So ordering the Nismo in the morning.

Cheers for the advice Craig! :thumbsup:

got my car tuned and made an appallingly low 306hp on 14psi, thanks hypergear for ripping me off.

306hp @ 14psi?

Is that AWD HP too (include losses)? Through an automatic (more losses)?

I'd say that's F&*ken awesome!

It's like 400HP at the motor!

If the AFR's are sweet and within limits, and the torque curve is flat what are you complaining about?

I'm saying that is maximum boost. The turbo has a spike to 20 then fall back to 14psi.

Any ideas as to why the turbo is dropping boost? I mean apart from the turbo is crap. I had a similar problem, turned out to be the cat was too restrictive and choking the exhaust flow.

306hp is a good result for 14psi though.

I'm happy with the figure, it's back to stock power. But considering I bought a turbo rated to 375hp I'm unhappy with the result. I'm wondering if it's a wastegate issue now.

Stock is more like 200hp/150kw. So you've got a descent increase over that.

If you can get the boost control issue sorted I think you'll be happy. Most larger aftermarket turbos don't come into their own until up around the 20psi area.

Started changing the dump pipe on the M35 this arvo, bloody hard to get into the top studs. 2 bloody studs snapped rant.gif

Rang Nissan and NO studs in the country, ex japan for bout $125 for set of 5 studs with nuts. I was hoping the rb25 studs would be the same but they said they are a different part number.

Does anyone know if a stud is available from anywhere else? Im getting Captain Thread to go to my mates workshop, where the car is stuck on the hoist for the weekend, to remove the busted studs monday arvo.

lilcrash - hypergear turbos are meant for peak power at over 19psi. I suggest fitting a heavy duty actuator that is rated to 'round 17psi (garret, gcg, or talk to stao and haggle for his HD turbo actuator. Slight retune after fitting & the 20psi boost spike will only taper off a couple psi. You'll gain another 50rwhp I believe.

I went from a 1bar HKS on the gt3076 to a 18psi garret actuator and came away with a decent 20kw increase. You want an actuator rated as close as possible to the boost you wish to run.

Heavy duty actuator rated around 17-19psi will unlock the turbos TRUE power potential.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
