That GTR just looks sweet!!!

Farrrk i just accidentally hit "report" on your post lol........ Its OK i cancelled it :P

I meant to agree with this - :yes:

im already looking at ECU and turbo upgrades -_- there goes another 7-10k for install tune and all the odd bits i need. will make over 400kw at all 4 tho with the rebuild. Looking at a Tomei turbo kits but i think that couldbe 12 months off.

Don't go with the tomei kits...it's in general agreement that their a laggy hunk of crap. I've gone with twin 2860-5 for my 400kw goal, but if i was buying the turbos now, i'd probarly look at twin GTX2863's OR possibly twin 2860-9 with E85....

...and vipec/haltech ecu for sure.

Have heard the same things...

Maybe -9s +85 would get you close with heaps of boost.. And would be super responsive?....

Yeah thats what i was alluding too. i'm a little worried about the responsiveness of my -5 set-up. i'm going to see how it all go's first, then if i'm not happy - i'll either vct the head or -9's. E85 will probarly come now anyway - i basically only need a surge tank :-).

IMHO -9's and E85 would be by far the easiest to do rather then going vct to get a responsive 400kw set=up

Yea it's all preference mate, depends if you like more linear power or a harder pull etc..

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
