Yeah a gt35r is pretty much the biggest low-mount you can go without any serious mods. My bro's r33 had one as a low-mount with a genuine hks exhaust mani. His car made just under 500rwhp, standard internals, just bolt-ons and tuning.

500rwhp on stock internals? Ticking time bomb comes to mind :/

He drove it daily for 1.5years, then sold it to a guy in QLD who used it as a track car and the car was sold about 2years ago with the same engine etc etc. The whole engine is still fine, hasn't blow up after 6years of daily abuse :)

It's either exaggerated figures, fly HP or not standard internals

I'm making 480rwhp on a dyno dynamics with a stock motor... Are you positively annoyed friend??

has it has that power for 6 years been abused daily and been used as a track car?

I have no doubt it can make the power its the life span with that power that i am questioning, but if it is all 100% then im happy, im shooting for a bit over 400rwhp and dont expect the engine to last long, if it lasts 6 years i will be very happy, not expecting it tho.

Good mechanic plus a good tuner engine will last a long time. Then there is luck:) I got a forged 33 with all supporting mods including gt35 and tial gate done a hard 40,000klms and still goin very strong! Tuned to 400 on 18psi, safe tune. Everyones engine is different!

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
