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)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
