Yeah tweety Ive read that thread, I've always been concerned about the need to change more of the things in the engine bay; wiring loom, ECU, all plumming etc..

you dont need to change the loom or ecu?

the loom only attaches to the head, which is still rb26 and the ecu would be changed and tuned as its a modified engine,

plumming is getting custom made as youre using a big single...so only the adaptor plate is different.

I'm not building a RB26/30, hence no research... I'm building a RB26 and I know enough about them to complete this build just fine, but thanks for the concern.. I've been researching RB26 builds for the last 5 years or so as I always knew I was buying a GTR and I have always loved a high revving RB26 :thumbsup:

Yeah okay, well a little miss understanding but thats cool..

No real updates today, still waiting on rims from Japan, car from body shop and engine from engine builder hahaha Good things come to those who wait so i guess I'll wait some more...

Sorry mate, the panel shop ordered it from Nissan Japan brand new.

Not sure but the genuine brand new wheels, front and rear diffusers, nismo rear pods and side skirts were $13700 delivered...

So I'm guessing it was fairly pricey... Haha

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
