Hey guys keep ur eyes out for a set of Garrett GT2860R -5 for me, looking to pay around $1500 for a 2nd hand set looks like thats the market price from past sales on the forums.

just msg a guy about some -7s see how that goes, gona have to call apon the bank of thy father for this purchase if i get them lol.

-5s will be useless unless you upgrade alot of other things to go with it, you wont be able to run much boost with stock fuel system etc... and will just be laggier

Lag is for fags! lol

But if he is planning to upgrade the other components later and run more powers you could handle it for a while....... I purchased my car with a high flow and 199kw and checked a set of injectors in and it jumped to 250kw!

Yeah, lag isnt good! Response is where its at!

I had a little drive of one of my mates mates S13 in Sydney several months ago..

it had a forged motor, rollcage, bucket seat, t28bb hi flow etc. Had about 240rwkw from memory and it was stripped out so the car weighed bugger all.

it was that moment I realised I f**king love twin plate clutches, only because of that cool rattle noise they make when the clutch is pushed in. Only thing that is a bit of pain in the arse is getting off the mark, but gear changes are so crisp and smooth!

Anyway the guy took me for a drive to show how it goes when its opened up, anyway thrown back in my seat by 3000rpm and started going sideways by 4500rpm and safe to say I shit my pants. Felt a lot faster and less safe than the 370rwkw R34 GTR single turbo Ive been passenger in (which completely opened up at around 5500rpm)

Nope, its dead quiet but with 4600lb clamp it takes whatever is thrown at it so far........ The rattling is amusing for around 3 seconds!

thats the plan, for now im broke, ill have to borrow some cash from my dad till next pay (monthly pay) to buy them and have them put in, but if i can get them cheap then ill be saving like 2k. Im going to be putting a haltech platinum pro in it with injectors. So i figure if the turbos are rooted then i may as well spend a bit more and get a good set of -7/-5 for now depending on what i can find max out my injectors now and just deal with it till i get the ECU/injectors. I can get a set of stock GTR turbos for like $400 but ill find on on saturday whats going on with her.

Snapped a picture of my catback....the TIG welding looks awesome

HKS says its 93Db (I assume the point where exhaust noise is measured)....so I'm not sure if thats with stock cat/stock dump pipe.

I've got a CES Racing front/dump and getting a 200 cell hi flow cat....

so with the addition of those and a few months of the exhaust burning in.... I assume it will be a lot louder than that!

Don't know how strict cops are about exhaust noise....but with that operation hammer thing, I assume Id get raped by the police!

as per previous post you may need some of this for hammer.

and as per the -5's the guy a msg today is selling -7s, i think they may suit what i want better then the -5s also

Don't doubt it, especially considering I'm only 20 so I dont think I will be treated very nicely at all.

Btw, who has seen this article.....

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
