simple mods like that just goes to show that nissan didnt think a few things through properly

i get quite annoyed when people question things like that with a blank statement like "im sure nissan knows more than you do" <--- not always the case!

It basically reduces the turbulence that happens from the front pressurised turbo air that meets at right angles to the pressurised air from the rear turbo.

Putting that splitter in forces the air to take the same direction as the air from the rear turbo. Think of two water hoses fed into a big hollow pipe, if you shoot one down the end of the pipe and stick the other hose in at right angles you upset the flow of water out the end. Now if you direct both hoses in the same direction, you will get a less turbulent, 'cleaner' flow down the pipe.

Nissan thought meh, for a standard car, but Nismo fixed it with their turbo outlet piping kit, similar to the HKS setup.

So instead of the boost fluctuating at light to medium throttle loads etc, it is a lot more stable on boost, and car drives nicer!

Would even help a stock turboed GTR up GT-RS (-10) turbo equipped 32-34GTRS (okay, maybe not -10's, GT-RS's)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
