Tomei oil gallery orifice

ARP Head stud kit

Cometic Street Pro 87mm MLS head gasket

Nissan full gasket set

HKS step-2 valve springs

R34 Greddy N1 Street Special camshafts, R34 CAS

Ported & Flowed headwork

Greddy timing belt

Precision adjustable intake & exhaust cam gears

Drive key, tensioner & idler bearing kit

87mm CP Piston kit - full block tidy up

Now i need turbos, i just went and had a look at a pair of Garret A/R 60 24m (apparently they have been highflowed) But his not to sure. His dyno sheet was saying 310KW and rekons he was runnign 22psi

Only reason turbos have been taken off his becasue he blew cylinder 2

These are just standard r32 gtr turbos? To me they look like they have steel wheels.

Any point in the right direction would be appreciated. Cheers.

Externally gated, old tech Nismo turbos... Talk about making a bad setup... Worse!

And all Nismo turbos were steel wheel.

As for turbos, usual questions apply.

What do you want/use of the car?

Budget?

Power goals?

Do you want response or top end

etc. etc. etc.

However, given the answers to the above 3 questions will pretty quickly end up seeing you using the search given there is plenty of info around.

Could you go into a little more detail of why you think they are a bad set up? what set up exactally? those turbos on that motor ect ect

I have just purchased everything in that pic for $500, So i can not complain with that.

I would be happy with 300kw. Responsive. And street driven.

Nismo turbos are 1970s design, they are laggy pieces of junk. Always have been, always will be.

That is why they are $500. They've been well covered in plenty of detail if you don't believe me.

Honestly if you've spent all that money building a motor. Why then go and buy $500 second hand, shitbag turbos?

300rwkw-330rwkw & responsive = Garrett -9

Of which there are more results than you can poke a stick at. There is even a "300-330rwkw GTR" thread :dry:

i used to have those turbos on my old set up, made 300rwkw untill the amfs maxed out

ended up selling them for 700 as a pair so u did alright

from memorty those turbos are rated to 310-320 hp per turbo so u would be able to 350rwkw on them, pretty sure someone made 370rwkw in the 26 dyno results thread...

they are plain bearing and yes they are a bit laggy but they sure as hell are fun to drive with, come on hard which makes them feel fast

a mate of mine just put some -9s on his GTR that makes about the same power as mine use to... personally i found them a bit liniar and boring

wouldnt use them for track where response counts, maybe on the street where the smile counts

-7 and -9 to me = boring, im sure alot of people wont like this reply as everyone seems to be hung up on response

if i had the old set up id have taken ya for a drive but its not to be

if u want the response then get the 9s so u have room for more power if u want it :cheers:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
