Looks like a T2. Watch out for the rods in the VQs. Apparently they start to struggle at 500hp+. That seems to be one of the major issues people face with big hp VQs.

orly? Please tell me what you know?

The rods themselves aren't the issue so much as the rod bolts. They start to stretch once you get near that 400rwhp barrier. But a lot does depend on how hard you are spinning the motor. Apparently Nissan improved the rod bolts in the later model motors, but hey, the motor is apart why not upgrade??

The rods are actually thicker not just the bolts in the HR... the rods a puny and should be upgraded.

So what turbos are compatible with the HKS 3037 rear housing or would you need to upgrade both ? I havnt fitted mine but my engine is being machined this week ready to be full forged built for 600HP, 3037 only get 400-430 so any ideas for upgrade to get 500 ?

Yup. Get Scotty to make you up a new adaptor for the cross over/gate in t3 and get a gt3582 with 1.02 hosing in there

Any ideas on where to get best price for that ? Why adapter needed for the cross over gate? you cant get them in that size? Scotty what price u thinking of to adapt? Honestly u guys reckon 400-420 is not good enough? thats 2x what i got now..

It's all up to you mate! I'm quite happy with what I'm running on the stock block. You might as well strap on what comes with the kit, and just turn it up to max boost. A built motor will take it no worries. Get used to driving that. It's quite a big difference! Probably good to run the motor in with tha too.

The adaptor is a bespoke part of the kit. You'll need something made up to link the manifolds, pipe to the ext gate, and the turbine housing, in a bigger, more free flowing design. It's not an off the shelf part!

Honestly, with a gt3582 think it would be pretty scary! But I'm a massive pussy. I like going round corners too, not just planting it In a straight line.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
