I've heard if you replace it with a bag of frozen peas you can gain a few kilowatts. Not sure the legality is of this and also you need to make sure your peas STAY frozen.

You see how the turbo works is it forces more cold air into the engine faster, how a bag of peas works is it just keeps everything nice and cold from the get go. After you go for a drive you should be able to just wack em in te freezer ready for your next cruise. On longer journeys however it is advised that you bring a couple of extra bags in an esky.

NA 33's aren't all that hard to find. I picked mine up off carsales for 3k with 6 months rego and some minor issues.

Quick look on carsales just now has shown me at least 5 within the first couple of pages.

3k!?!

edit: what the heck were the minor issues and how long ago was this?s

December, 180,xxxk's, little rough around the edges but overall not in too bad nick. Needed new P/s pump & had a noticeable miss which with a new set of spark plugs and the superspark coilpacks dude gave me that he said didn't work chucked in is all sorted. Dude selling it was a bit of a nuffer.

seriously though, have there been more of these threads lately?

To OP, assuming you're not la bomba (lol), search to make sure that 1: the question you're asking hasn't been asked a million times; and 2: the question you ask isn't just plain stupid/illegal/illogical/pointless. And when you search you'll realise how freaking lucky you are that the minor flaming in this thread was quite easy-going compared to some of the others.

Anyways, buy an NA... Or Mohsen's dunnydore

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
