For the sake of an update... An update.

Gates are on. Gate waste pipes are done for the most part. I put an 18.85 psi Spring combination in, mostly due to peer pressure (looking at you Micko)!! I was thinking 17.45.

Hypertune are doing some coolers on an R35 ATM and should be done hopefully next week. When ever it's done, I'm going in. That will be to fit up the cooler (no stock brackets line up anymore) and turbo to plenum piping done. Wiggins clamps (blown cooler pipes will be a distant memory) will be used on all joins apart from where it meets the manifold. I am not pulling that Nismo plenum off in the car. It's 15 times more painful to pull off than a stock one. If ever the motor is out, I'll put one on then.

Surge tank design is pretty much confirmed.

Really, the only thing missing from the puzzle is injectors but with the dollar, I'm putting off that purchase till when I need them.

The other week Reaper was around with his 8374 snailed NUR. It should go damn well on the stroker! Also, another mate is putting one on a 3.0 so it should make for a decent comparison.

18.85???

running yet or you doing a bobby on us

No mate.

It isn't at a shop. Micko is doing the fab work so it;s just a case of hipping away at it when we can.

With any luck, Hypertune may take the car in this week for the intake piping and cooler fitment.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hopefully goes to Hypertune tomorrow for turbo to plenum piping but I've heard that before!

Yeah yeah, turns out the rear turbo was cactus anyway. 5000 kms. Spose they didn't like to be run so hard so either way the turbos were coming off. Oil all through the dump.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
