lol yeah.. seeing at night isn't its' best attribute.. here's some more night stuff!

It has an exhaust now but probably needs a centre muffler.. I swear it's louder than with just the dump/front pipe!

Had a hiccup with the ECU which was causing it to be ridiculously rich, fouled the plugs pretty quickly. Got my mate around to fix it while we were doing the exhaust, loaded up the laptop to make a couple of changes then she fired straight up and immediately sounded MUCH healthier. Still got intermittent lifter noise, I'm hoping it disappears. Got a slow water leak somewhere, will get it up on the hoist on Tuesday to check everything out.

Just drove from Padbury to Balcatta, to Ashfield, to Hazelmere and back to Ashfield and each leg it felt better and better. To the point where on the last couple of legs I let it hit a bit of boost (2.8psi lol) and it was such a tease driving home in the rain!

It felt so good to finally drive the old girl again! BIG thanks to chuckie and a select few others for their help through this trying time :P:cheers::banana:

FLAME-AGE i want to c FLAME-AGE

This is OLD flamage..

When I get the old girl running a bit better (turbo is MUCH bigger than it was so very wary bringing it on boost until I can log the wideband in nistune) I'll get some new flame footage.. I certainly do love a rich decel :D

Tried to negotiate a friends driveway.

Snapped my front bar clean off :(

And then my number plate fell off too because it snapped out one of the mounting nuts

Bugger, but you are now have the fully hectik drifter 'look'.

But really that sucks.

Oh hey.

Any of you lovely 32 owners have a spare gtst or gts stock ecu?

Need one to be able to be able to get some fault codes to diagnose without expensive dyno time.

Been getting high knocks fairly low down in the rpm range and it's really sporadic, jumping from 60 to well over 100 at times with no audible noise backing up the knock claim.

A retarding of the timings resulted in no change whatsoever, that's taking 4 to 5 degrees of timing out when the boost gets to full.

The logic behind this is to find out if the knock sensor is faulty.

If that is the case, I'm definitely going to book more dyno tuning time because the only reason we didn't get it above 280rwhp last time is because of the knock count :rolleyes:

So, anyone?

Could buy it off you, or just borrow. Would only need it for a week or a fortnight max.

Just think of it as a blessing to the world... Like a ugly person committing suicide haha

Im starting to see it as a blessing because now if I crash it at Collie I won't be so disappointed if it gets destroyed.

How much did you pay for your gtr front bar Simon?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • 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.
