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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
