I milled down my PS pump on the weekend.

Going to use the stock TT pipe if it isn't a flow restriction with the new compressors also.

Bit concerned I went with the 60s now. Interesting to see how much they take on a rb30

That will be an outright response monster!!! Keen to see your results!!!!

It's been discussed somewhere. You would have to machine out the covers to accept the different wheel. Why wouldn't you just buy a set of GTX's and sell what you have?

I covered this one a couple of months back, I did some research and was told the GTX need their specific covers. Cant run the bolt on style covers (or they would just make them like that for you boys!).

Nws mate.

Are you going to give it a go either way? The info I got was that they just wont work in that housing, but I wouldn't blame you for giving it a go.

Otherwise gotta stay -5 :(

I´d kick out that stock TT pipe, even with the plate modification it´s not so ideal flowwise.

Just been on the rollers yesterday, but did not ran that good and now I´m a bit disappointed with the results.

Been on the rollers three times with HKS GT2530, last run was about 530hp and 700nm of torque at 1.35 bar.

Now (with the old tune being gone because of a computer crash) the GTX made much less, even on more boost.

Here you can have a look, the runs being done on 1.5 and about 1.7-1.8 bar.

Car popped off some hoses so I had no chance to alter A/F ratio or ignition, as it was on a dyno day and I was kind of stretching it anyways doing about 6 runs with fixing some pipe stuff/altering the boost...

For comparison (same dyno type), run on 1.35 bar dropping to 0.7 bar (boost controller safety feature not switched off) with HKS GT2530s:

And on 1.5 / 1.7-1.8 bar with GTX2860R´s:

Nice pink bits :)

It´s my ex-GF´s car, so what should I say...

But it´s fun to smoke a lot of other fast cars with a Hello Kitty airbrushed S15 Silvia :D

...although it doesn´t really runs that well on revs as my twin GTX3076R RB28 BNR34 ;-)

As I´m not a native speaker I have to admit that I don´t really get the point what you are trying to say?

The R34 is not really tuned yet, still just running a redline of 8500rpm and not more than about 1.5 bar of boost...

He's trying to say he hopes you are revving to 11,000rpm and pushing 2.5bar to make your twin GTX3076 worth while.

why do you make reference to motors not being tuned? what tune is it running then?

It´s got an initial tune but nothing final yet...so conservative ignition timing but with adjusted fuelling of course.

I will run as much boost as necessary, same counts for the rev lmiter.

But as doing high-speed runs in Germany is a totally different story than anywhere else in the world, I will definately not beat the shit out of it for longer terms.

Because I do 300kmh+ runs for minutes it would definately kill my engine, no matter how well it´s set up. As said, totally different story than just to to some 0-200 pulls or 1/4 mile runs!

Doing that I´ll produce about 2megawatts of heat that can´t really be absorbed that well...

The GTX2860R would be the one. U'd need to make sure you get the .64 "compact 5 bolt" turbine housings to suit the GTR twin setup. The biggest problem is making good intake pipes in the tight space but if a decent amount of time is spent, it'll be well worth it.

No not yet - there are a few ways to skin the cat on this one. Given that the new GTX terbs have a 3" inlet (much larger than the 2" GT versions), I am thinking of new 3" piping from the pods to the compressor inlet.

Perth Garrett dealer tells me Garrett have 13 in stock (I assume he means Garrett Australia?). Anyway, part number is 430609-230 and retail inc GST is just shy of $400 per unit.

I ordered this part number and got turbine housings that would suit a silvia SR...It wasn't the compact rear flange mount, so $660 wasted...

I'm on the hunt again for rear housings...

Nws mate.

Are you going to give it a go either way? The info I got was that they just wont work in that housing, but I wouldn't blame you for giving it a go.

Otherwise gotta stay -5 :(

exactly. I had gt-ss,. bought -5 already. car beeing stored in 4 weeks no time for heavy custom works! and not sur eif the all the xtra hassle is worth the extra 50hp at this point)

The additional 50hp ain´t worth it - but 400rpm sooner RPM on a dyno and a much smoother power transition on the road are worth it.

And your drivetrain won´t be f**ked as hard...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
