Cheers mate, i was looking into the kits last night coz i think it will be easier to just chuck in a 2.8 crank rods and pistons into my engine already as thats all id need to change instaed of going 3L.

you can re use the existing head studs and all that stuff right? just need new head gasket and bearings?

you won't regret going 2.8, I remember driving Paul's when it had the gt-rs's still on it and the bottom end torque was amazing, I actually made the comment that day "the only thing I'd change is put 2530s on it"

its going to have a t51r strapped on the side of it so it should make it pretty fun ( not that its not fun atm lol)

We are still to sing whistling dixie down the freeway Chris! ;)

I know the feeling...done that!!

I always dummy fit first especially with new/modded/rebuilt turbo's.

It's too much of a pain to re-clock once they are in...

Well you would think when you took them down and said "reorientate to fit a GTR" you would expect them to fit!!!!!! :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: .

Bit of an update;

Got the turbos back this arvo, they said they were out by 10 degrees. Don't know if it was that much but they're fixed. The hot side is complete bar the turbo supports and one water line.

Tomorrow I pick up my balance tube and idle garbage from Hypertune. Too hard to explain so I'll take some pics what I've done.

wasnt it just a simple case of clocking the rear or front covers?

Not the point. I wasn't gonna sit there pulling shit on and off trying to get tr correct angle. I know what you're thinking "it ain't that hard". But with two of them that need to be the correct angle its a pain in arse.

Either way, how did it get messed up? Have a look at the 200 gtr turbos out the back and make it the same.

belt the crap outta it! be keen to see what the -5's can produce. Still got my dollars on the 470kw :)

Haha. It would be nice. I'll be stoked with 450 at a reasonable boost level.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
