Finding Nismo


Recommended Posts

I doubt it really matters. If it was that big of a difference, everyone would be making it the same way. My midori setup is not equal length....if anyone thinks it sounds bad, there is something wrong with them lol.

Has anyone been caught up in substantial price rises of late?

On what specifically? I know Nismo was supposed to raise prices across the board, at least so I heard. Not sure if its because of us Americans buying up a lot of 32's and wanting parts or what lol. But that is why I splurged a few months back to get parts at those prices before they raised them up a bit.

 

Anyways, found a cool shot of my car from a Street Driven St.louis drift meet. Wish I had time to give the car a deep clean! Got to love Nismo 10th anniversary recaro seats!!

Prices only went up on a handful of nismo parts, mostly the carbon parts. I have compared nearly everything in the 2015 vs 2016 catalogue.

Nismo is offering less discount to suppliers in japan so even though the retail price hasn't increased you might find the parts costing you more than they did before April 1 2016 depending on who you use to import your parts

My set of the Nismo LM-GT4 Omori Factory 2016 Version 18x10.5 +15 wheels arrived yesterday too. Great minds think alike hey Raj!  

Nice to have 4 sets of LM-GT4's again, i was feeling a little short dipping back down to only 3 sets there for a minute  ;)

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
