Nah plenum isn't painted, just gave it a hit with a scale remover and autosol haha..

Bov pipe is a 3" straight alloy, I picked up a couple of nipples and gave to the welder with the original pipe so he could re create the same angles etc came out really good imo.

However i do get a bit of flutter at lower boost with the kompact if I drop the throttle.. Anyone tried softer springs with success?

Softer springs will help with the flutter, but it will open more at idle and cruise with vac behind it. If the flutter isn't bad just leave it, otherwise ring Turbosmart and get them to ship you the next softest spring.

Mine doesn't flutter at all, on the evo or the Stagea.

Plus your on over 30psi :D bet it's pretty quick

Actually makes more noise the less boost I spool the turbo to. Still almost silent using the stock airbox though, in both cars.

Yeah man, I'm after one, was wondering where he got it from. I reckon they are a nice subtle touch, you think so?

Yep I love it, my car has one. He cpuld be like me and had it come from factory like it

Hey mate, this was a random score. I joined a Facebook group "stagea owners club" it's NZ based.

One of the lads on their was selling his car which has the spoiler and kindly offered it for swaps with an original and cash his way. I went straight to the ATM lol.

I know lots of people after them and for some reason they are dam hard to get. Good luck on finding one.

As for the wheels they are wolf s36 18x8.5 and 9.5 245/45/18s offset I'm a little unsure measures roughly 20/30p. Lowered on bc golds no rubbing etc

Damn, I'll have to keep looking. I was hoping it may have been a site online, I don't really want to see if I can get one from Nissan direct ($$$$$$$$$$). I may see if I can find that group, being in NZ myself

Also, that plenum looks good, a flapper disc and autosol you say? hmmm.

Replaced cam cover gaskets today, new plugs plfr6's, new oil and filter ( royal 5w 30) and gave it a good degrease/ clean. Chuck the boost T in tomorrow and see if this turbos gonna handle 1bar haha.

Talk about carbon build up huh?! Too scared to lift the cam caps :s

Looks nice Nathan; did you have the lines made specially?

Just one thing; I have always oriented fittings toward the top of coolers, gravity takes care of bleeding all the air out of the core.

what neutral smilie? smile.gif <- that one?[/quote:da693d5855]

nah, you have to click on the 'View more Emoticons' link

it's this one--> :|

everytime i used this--> :mrgreen: i never saw that neautral one, untill tonight

Did you just buy a kit or buy separate parts? Does the sandwich plate have a thermostat in it?

Nice install Nathan but cooler needs ideally to have fittings to top or will work with fittings to side but upside down can result in airlock which means that some or much of the cooler is not working.

Thanks Dale and KiwiRS4T.

Dale yeah I got the lines made up at Pritek.

Brick I bought all the parts separately and yeah the sandwich plate is a Mocal thermostatic one.

Didn't even think about an airlock issue I'll have a look how much play I have with the lines to try mount on top of the Reo bar. The lines are quite stiff though as they are steel braided inside and fittings are fixed in there orientation. Having to buy new lines to run in a different mounting spot will suck but I'll take a shit at it.

I was just thinking back where I saw the mounting orientation with fittings facing downwards and remembered it was on the mishimoto 350z install they did. So mounting the cooler with the fittings downwards is guaranteeing an airlock??

Hi Zach,

That's "interesting"...running different width wheels...have you had any issues with respect to the Attessa?

Hi Zach,

That's "interesting"...running different width wheels...have you had any issues with respect to the Attessa?

I'm running 9.5 fronts and 10 rears for over 2 years now with no Atessa issues.

I could barely notice any vibration caused by my mismatched rims using the same tyres. There was a slight vibration under acceleration though, only when the transfer case kicked in hard.

The more power you run, the more torque gets transferred, meaning more pressure goes to the clutch pack in the transfer case. This is likely to cause vibration as there is no slip on the clutches to accommodate the mismatched tyre sizes.

    • 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?
