I noticed last year that my external gate was making a shuttering noise while going into boost. Sometimes at full boost it would make the noise. It almost sound like the valve was moving up and down really fast while still controlling boost?? There is a adjustment on top of the gate that looks like it controls preloud. Im sure adjusting that would fix the issue but then again im not certain. can anyone shed light

mods are

-rb25 with a built bottom end

-wiseco pistons 0.040 over

-eagle rods

-gt35 ebay turbo (57 or 59mm)

-stec manifold

-single 50mm wastegate with vband

-3 inch dp exhaust.

Is the gate a fried rice special too?

What brand is it?

The gate is a rice patty special. I went ahead and added tension on the spring. Guess it was opening to early.

Its the barney brand(purple dinasour)

sounds like you need yourself a non rice special wastegate

So what would you say if I had a name brand gate? Worthless remarks make these forums tasteless......A simple suggestion would work. Im not sure about you guys but I help support the chinese....haayyeeeee ahhhh!!

You probably wouldnt be asking the question if you had a real gate

Your right Zebra....If I had a name brand gate it would be pre adjusted right?? I just wanna fit in guys. I promise to sell this working wastegate and purchase a $550 usd gate so I will be accepted....I promise.

This thread is now full of useless comments. Just delete it please.

The point everyone is trying to make is that Chinese knockoff gates aren't the best quality and while sometimes the quality of the knockoff stuff doesn't matter, when it comes to wastegates it does. The operating conditions are extreme to say the least and often the materials used in the manufacture of the diaphragms etc is not up to the task.

What about when it shits itself and sticks shut, pumps 40psi into your engine and grenades it, are you still going to defend the special fried rice?

hence why they are cheap poorly made and poor quality

It always surprises me when people spend good money on an engine, only to install a very cheap critical item that can completely destroy it.

Would you buy the best bungee harness, best bungee rope, and then buy the cheapest chinese fittings to connect the rope to your harness that you could find on ebay, then go bungee jumping, with lots of faith?

I certainly wouldn't.

Then they blame SAU for tasteless comments and say its a bad place to be.

Or would you spend 10k on a hooker, get a penthouse suite, the best malt whisky, then buy the cheapest prophylactic you could find

And all im trying to say is that not every part sold on ebay is junk. Ive already torn the gate apart and looked over everything. The diapram is thick and durable and the material used to put the gate together is well constructed. I mean really guys....how hard is it to make a gate. You think people manufature stuff and sell it on ebay b/c its gonna blow everyones engine up......Im certain that if my gate wanted to build 40psi I would definetly feel it before it happens. The diapram would almost have to be gone in order for this to happen.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
