I dont know how I forgot to post this. It's my surge tank and AFM delete pipes. I painted the surge tank black so headlights didnt reflect off the alloy..... because im a nice bloke ;)

Bobby, the box is a OS 1-3 gearset with the big dick input shaft. It was behind the engine before. It got pulled down and put back together since. Nice box but really needs a stroker to work.... Orrrr have smaller turbos!

I can't see myself revving any harder than 8000 RPM. I found myself with the -5's changing at 6500 and just ride the torque. See where the power drops off but 8000 RPM will be the shift point with the hard cut set at 8600-8800 JUST so I don't hit it.

Nice

Since your not reving past 9000 rpm its all good, and you will notice it set up like this it will want to rev and the squish will make these turbo's come on boost at a lower rpm. I guess you will be able to compare to your last build with the dyno sheets.

Cant wait to see the results.

Thats why I decided to run the -5's again. The whole time I was building the head it was "response, response, response". I have been assured it will crack 450 but im more interested in the mid range.... The goal is 400 by 5000 RPM.... I wasn't that far off it before it died.

With the single, time will tell!

A tad bummed I took the valve relief out as I qould have been around 9:4 - 9.5:1 but atleast it's not 8.5!

Bring on the tune!

Pooooorrnnn

Who made that for you of you don't mind me asking??

I took it to Unigroup and said "Give me a 5 litre surge tank under the car... GO".... I got that back.

I've never had an issue... I have a Fuel pressure gauge in the car.

i'll evenutally put a little fuel cooler like what Bobby did. i've seen the data that Unigroup has of warm/hot fuel and its just downright scary!

Sweet yea I've been looking at similar options but want it under car, fuel cooler for sure

Nice to see your build nearly finished can't wait to see the end results both twin and single

Single will make more grunt for sure.... the question is if it can match the twins mid range and driveability!

Please don't take this the wrong way but I can't believe it's taken 22 pages to get to this point!

Should be a weapon once it's done. Looks sexy too! Can't wait to see some videos.

I'm at the crossroads of doing a dirty 30 or stroking the 26 so your results may make a difference.

Good luck once you hit the dyno!

Just waiting on parts and people, not to mention the shit talk in the thread.

Starting fresh? 30 hands down!

I'm doing the 2630 conversion into a GTR and if I started again it would be the BC 2.9 kit

Paul, would love to see this on the dyno, I'm free Thursday should be done by then yeah :P keep the pics coming, love your work it gives me ideas

Where are you upto with it man?

Ideas? What ideas are you talking about?

good, just waiting another fitting for the oil pump to external feed it which is going to work better then I thought with heaps of clearance from the AC, then 3 bungs into sump for the oil cooler setup and I came close the bottom end then it's just the hot side gaskets and lines Quaife diff and Ross balancer then insert it in car

when I say ideas I mean copy you of coarse, things like the pipes into turbos, though I melted one of then, the surge tank, possible cams etc

sorry if that's not clear to read I changed the turbo on my truck today and gave it a service and thought I could use a beer or 11 so far after doing so

what about a 30 with a nitto 3.2 stroker....just sayin.

Awesome looking surge tank Paul

I'm actually thinking about doing this next year, still trying to to decide if I can justify the cash or not

I've been there and built an rb2630...fun it was but it simply didn't feel like a gtr anymore (damn block is out of a vl commodore) and it really annoyed me that things didn't line up the way it should have by having to extend inter cooler pipes etc blah blah.

My mate bought a my12 r35gtr...now that is shockingly quick and its stock!!! My old gtr would have still got it though :)

The engineering and tractable power is really mind blowing.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
