G'day All!!!

I am a new member and a soon to be proud skyline owner. I have read many threads on the site but I have not come across something I wish to know.

Can you visibly tell if a turbo has been hi-flowed.

If I can buy a car with this done already it would be great but I would also have peace of mind if I could make sure it has been.

My knowledge of the performance of skylines is limited to the fact that they go hard fast and sound and look even better!!

My thirst for this knowledge knows no boundarys so wet my palate please.

ok first of all i love yah picture has a lot of style , and too your question about features of a hi-flowed turbo ........ LAGGY AS F*#K!, hehe well from past experience they tend to be laggier than the bigger ones , but visual looks ok from the out side you usually tend too see a manufacturers name on the commpressor side of the turbo EG= XTR.

ok other than that its all internals ok you will find that the compressor side of the turbo ( or the induction side ) the mouth of this side will be very thin like about 2 mill think not thick at all .... std there round about 4 mill thick ok you will visually see the machine marks along the throught of the compressor side , this will be the only way too tell if its been hi flowed , well if you wanna take the turbo off and check out the exaust side well there will be a faair bit of the out let taken out too and maby even a bigger actuator valve and shutter. anyway if u want more info just ring up GCG turbo chargers they will give you the run down on what differences there are but ive given u most of them .......

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
