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)

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
