is turbosmart products any good?

i got a mate that hates turbosmart studd cuz its australian and shouldnt go on an import

bla bla bla

Thats pretty much the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Bagging out the local manufacturers building pretty much the same stuff the Japanese people do only cheaper.

Maybe we should import all our parts and pay $11tybillion every time we need something.

can I use a bleed valve on my GTR (if so where), or with out spending over $250 are there any other ways of upping the boost to 12psi?

I do intened on buying an electronic boost controller down the line but I cant justify it atm...

its currently stock boost with exhaust.

Here's your best bet for a pneumatic valve....

Also put in the one way valve from, part 2

I've been using it for a while with no problems, and quite happy with it.

bought the preasure relief and preasure regulator from:

NORGREN PTY LTD Pneumatic Equipment

33 South Corporate Ave Rowville 3178 (03) 9213 0800

(just get them to courier it to your work if u dun have time to go)

and i got the one way check valve, barbed fittings, hoses and hose clamps from:

ENZED TOTAL HOSE & FITTING SERVICE

Bayswater 4/ 21 Power Rd 3153 (03) 9729 8533

Fawkner 1315 Sydney Rd 3060 (03) 9357 3311

Footscray 28/ 640 -680 Geelong Rd 3011 (03) 9314 1344

*Moorabbin 193 Chesterville Rd 3189 (03) 9553 2088

Tullamarine Garden Drv 3043 (03) 9330 3544

Dandenong 8 -10 Lonsdale St 3175 (03) 9793 4588

ahh, didn't notice we were talking about a GTR....

dunno how the setup is on a GTR (in terms of where the wastegate actuators are fed air from), but i dont see why a variant of the audi setup cant be made.....

If not, then here is an even cheaper alternative.....

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
