Wow. What an incredible read!

Now I'm thinking that my choice of -5s wasn't such a great idea.

Those Gtx's work wonders but I presume better match stokers rather than 2.6

Also nissan4life sensational driving.

Was that at QR?

Shame you sold the car would have loved to see it.

The boost got up to 33psi with the 478kw, but at the track that day I was winding it down to 27ish.

Don't worry about the -5's purchase, that's what i have used to put the GTX 2863 cores into. If you are 2.6L the GTX2860's will be a better fit.

Yeah mate that was at QR, cheers for the kind words on my driving, but I still got ways to go yet. I have been getting some practice driving an SR3 Radical of Paul Stokells, so that has been good.

Thanks Simon, think I will have a look at the GTX2860'S

Yeah, I know Paul Stokell racing gives great opportunities for those are looking for it, good stuff.

I will be venturing up QR again very, very soon ;)

I would like to know how the front compressor housing works for RB26 :

Do we have to pick a RB skyline front housing, the chra gtx2860 and the -5 rear housing and it all bolt on ?

or does the Front housing is machined to the CHRA and bought like that ? Because I can't seems to find any shop selling gtx2860r with RB style ( only see it advertised on atp for the gtx2863)

Yes, but compressor housing needs to be machined. I believe -5 comp housings should be used

Although I cannot confirm this, I don't think it would be long before Garrett Honeywell puts this on their marketing table and hopefully sells it RB style.

Not that hard for them to do really and the extra $$$ they will get for it as well

Okay, I got all excited, just to realise that theres like 600$ of machining involved. A little too rich for my blood then :S

It's a drop in the ocean considering it's one of the main parts directly influencing power delivery.

I will think about it, but still.. chra = 1200$ shipped x2. worn-out -5 ( maybe 300-400$ for both) + 2x actuator 80$ + 600 machining = 3500$ .might as well consider the efr8374 ( oops I dont want to open a can of worn! sorry)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
