Hey guys,

im going to write down a few mods i have done / planning to do and i was hoping ppl could give me ideas as to power potential and weak points and any good suggestions..

this car will be doing track and street duties and was hoping to have a car that had good power but good street ability.

this may seem excessive to some but am just doing the car to have upgrade ability if i want to take it further in the future

the car is an R32 GTS-T

RB26 Engine with following mods :

forged pistons

forged rods

jun oil pump

has had a crank collar fitted

tomei sump baffles

tomei cams - unsure of specs but i think they r mild

hks cam gears

new bearings

ported head

should i get a head drain? im not sure if the block had restrictors put in it

other stuff:

ross balancer

injector dynamics 1000cc injectors

twin entry fuel rail

turbosmart plumb back bov (this only has a 32mm port - will this be too small?)

turbosmart fpr 1200

turbosmart eboost 2

2 x turbosmart 40mm wastegates (i bought one but was told it was gonna be too small so im going to buy another 40mm instead of trying to sell the one i have and buy a bigger one)

twin thermo fans instead of clutch radiator fan - anyone had experience with any of these? reccomendations?

electric water pump

6boost split pulse turbo manifold

GTX 3076 turbo

Haltech P2000 ecu

remote oil filter with cooler and thermostat

auto gearbox built by mv automatics (personal preference)

gearbox oil cooler

bosch 044 pump with surge tank ( would one be enough? or should i get another?)

possibly hks ignition power amplifier? - ideas?

was thinking about water/meth injection as well as pulp - would i need to get 2 seperate tunes or would one be enough?

one more thing, the g/box was out of an R33 and the rear end of the car is an R32 so im guessing the speedo is going to be out of wack

anyone got any good suggestions to fix it? i have had a look around at some ideas but havent found any that take my fancy yet

thanks to anyone who has any helpful ideas!!!!

Matt

tomei sump baffles

tomei cams - unsure of specs but i think they r mild Poncam type B is probably what you want, 260IN&EX 9.15mm lift

hks cam gears New ones or old ones?

new bearings

ported head Save your money, get it serviced and spend the money on something else

should i get a head drain? im not sure if the block had restrictors put in it You're saying that you are planning on doing these mods, but this sounds like it's been done?

other stuff:

ross balancer

injector dynamics 1000cc injectors

twin entry fuel rail Save your money, stock one is fine and will cost you less in lines and fittings

turbosmart plumb back bov (this only has a 32mm port - will this be too small?) Stock GTR BOV's would do the job

turbosmart fpr 1200

turbosmart eboost 2

2 x turbosmart 40mm wastegates (i bought one but was told it was gonna be too small so im going to buy another 40mm instead of trying to sell the one i have and buy a bigger one)

twin thermo fans instead of clutch radiator fan - anyone had experience with any of these? reccomendations? You will find so many tried this and then went back to the stock setup

electric water pump

6boost split pulse turbo manifold

GTX 3076 turbo

Haltech P2000 ecu

remote oil filter with cooler and thermostat

auto gearbox built by mv automatics (personal preference)

gearbox oil cooler

bosch 044 pump with surge tank ( would one be enough? or should i get another?) One will be fine on pump fuel, surge tank probably not needed

possibly hks ignition power amplifier? - ideas?

was thinking about water/meth injection as well as pulp - would i need to get 2 seperate tunes or would one be enough?

one more thing, the g/box was out of an R33 and the rear end of the car is an R32 so im guessing the speedo is going to be out of wack

Thanks for the suggestions mate

the engine has already been built, the only thing i havent done is added a head drain

the only other suggestion you made that hasnt been done or attempted is the thermo fans

my clutch fan is on its way out so i figured i would see what my options were.

i already have a twin entry fuel rail, plumb back bov and surge tank

the engine came with the hks cam gears and tomei cams, im just not sure what the specs are

any guesses as to power potential?

With regards to the diff - easiest option to get the gearing a bit better suited to the bigger engine and to get the speedo correct is just to get an R33 or R34 diff with 4.11 gears in it. If you need to you can install the internals into your R32 housing.

But.....I would think that an old viscous diff is going to disappoint you somewhat, so you'd probably be looking for a proper diff at some stage anyway.

1000cc injectors for a gt3076?:blink: (Unless your going twins)

Install a T04Z, THEN the injectors will be useful ;)

Save your pennies on the FPR, stick with the stock one, perfectly fine.

+1. And +1 to everything N1GTR said. Especially using the stock clutch fan for better cooling. Get a decent radiator + clutch fan = happy days even on a 30 degree day.

A GTX3076 is really still a baby, and from all reports thus far they wont make much more than than a GT3076 anyway so around 330rwkw.

Also don't need a rear oil drain if the motor has been built correctly with restrictors and enlarged returns. They seem to be the latest craze for whatever reason but no-one has really required them before if done correctly.

You wont need a HKS DLI box either, you aren't really pushing too hard with that turbo

Yea, i got them in preperation of E85, also i got them cheap :)

i only got most of this stuff because i didnt have anything stock

i got the fpr really really cheap too..

maybe i will just stick with clutch fan.

also if i went with a 3582 or something like that, what sort of lag am i looking at?

anyone one want to reccommend a good turbo? anyone got any experience with the 3582r?

thanks everyone

FMIC?

And you won't really need WMI if you have E85.....if you don't have E85 then WMI is the next best thing.

Also if you intend using yours for long interstate type trips then WMI is probably a better option.

twin thermo fans instead of clutch radiator fan - anyone had experience with any of these? reccomendations?- i run a single 16" thermo on a 50mm radiator, never had any cooling issues be it on the track or in traffic (standard temp thermostat)

remote oil filter with cooler and thermostat - consider getting a thicker PWR radiator with built in oil cooler as i don't see an aftermarket radiator listed anywhere and it will also act as an oil warmer when its cold.

Expect full boost around 4k or a bit after with a GT35 (assuming 0.82 housing size) and capable of 360-380kw a little more if you push it hard.

Noel (fineline) had good results with a GT3788R (T4 twin scroll). Capable of 400+kw with only a little bit more lag than the GT35, but the crucial part is that it uses the large frame turbo core where as the GT35 uses the smaller core like the GT30 series which isn't as strong.

Otherwise if you want a fairly responsive setup that's got some chance of traction on street tyres (being rwd) the GT30 setup is a good choice, be it normal GT or GTX series.

yea i have a FMIC but im hoping E85 will be coming out where i am soon.

i will use the water/meth injection to keep the head nice and clean also..

what brand thermo you using Titan?

just plain old supercheap one.

E85 will reduce the carbon buildup as is.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
