for you sake, hope nothing serious.

when my r31 did the same as you describe, it was a backfire (loud bang), then black smoke and loss of power,

could only feather the throttle to get the car driving normally/grandma style.

the fuel pressure regulator shat itself and dumped a heap of fuel then flowed a constant 320kpa. replaced and all good.

when you reved out to 6k easily, was that driving (engine under load) or in park/neutral?

mine could do that in neutral/park, but not under load/driving, would just flood and stall if i tried to give it a bit.

Sounds a lot like when my 32 sheared the shaft and spat the turbine out, changed from second to third, POP, no power, black smoke... was actually slower when I blew an intercooler pipe off, but I still had 1 turbo left...

ok here is the result, sheared the shaft and the turbine went out the exhaust, it dinted the o2 sensor and scored up the houseing a bit, also my front wheel has hit the housing and chipped the wheel a few time. no shaft play but very grindy/sandy sounding when i spin it.

send it to hypergear

$800 and you will have steel wheels and moar flow

I got a GCG highflow and it was fine but now I wonder why I bothered - for about the same (or less) money I could have got a brand new GT3076 (in fact my GT3540 only cost NZ$2200).

The advantage of the highflows is that they bolt straight up so no extra costs for new lines etc.

I was thinking sending it to gcg, $1955 for a ball bearing highflow. I know that ball bearing is bad if you backfire but yer I just feel better that way

apparently once the oil is warm bush bearings are no worse that a ball bearing because it actually floats on a thin film of oil

some ppl say they actually have less resistance

if its a neo turbo hypergear can make it flow enough for about 270rwkw i think

Ive only had a ball bearing turbo once and i didnt kniw it was ball bearing until i replaced it so it probably doesnt matter any way, If I can get it I would like to have 400hp at all 4 wheels. Other then that I guess I'm up for a nistune. Either way my wife is very very angry at me for breaking it again.

hypergear made a ceramic ball bearing highflow out of a neo turbo and it made 320kw (430hp) on 21psi

the hks 2530 would be sick tho, i'd love to have some spare $$$ to buy one

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
