Nitto rods just for a GT3076?

Sorry to :laugh: but that's just ridiculous wasting of money when many people are making 650hp on GTR rods day in, day out.

Given you and your "engine builder" already reckon you'll make more than 400hp, that would mean you've already already chosen a turbo?

nitto rods aren't much dearer. $650 for nitto h beams from hi octane. $620 for spool h beams. Do the standard 26 rods need prepping at all?

Resizing if using arp bolts? How much would this cost to be done, plus the cost to buy the 26 rods? Could work out around the same in the end.

Thanks mate

Don't see what the big Whoha is about buying a set of nitto rods, do it right the first time isn't it? The guy above is right my nitto rods cost me $630 I'm not going on a budget build to have shit break or fail.... 400+hp is just a rough figure... I'm not in it to make a huge amount of power, if the power gets up there then that's a bonus, I don't want too much lag...

R31nismoid I asked a question on what turbo to get for what I want not for what rods I'm using, as been said 400+hp is just a figure was I will be aiming for the max hp I can get with my setup, I don't mind spending $630 on nitto rods if they are hell alot stronger then a set of used rb26 rods and in conjunksion with that I thank everyone for there input with running the rb26 yeah it would of been a "cheaper" option but you pay for what you get I guess

The turbo that was going to go on it was a gt3540,

I just wanted to see what others input was on what turbo to run

GT3540 is 4500rpm on a well sorted motor.

GT3076 all day for your power goal. Awesome things they are!

"Fullboost" ARGH. Is that 5 psi or 55psi??????

Lol, good call.

I consider full boost on my car as the limit which the turbo will not create boost past because of the spring tension I have chosen to put in my waste gate.

Go the GT3076 - 3540 is too big for the RB25 - pretty sure it won't low mount whereas 3076 will fit with 10mm spacer. GT3076 is good for 300kw on 98 330kw on E85 and much more responsive on a 25 than the 3540. In fact people have had realy good results with the 3076 on an RB30/25.

Woudn't have matter what you chose....I would like to see you break a spool rod with any of the turbos mentioned,

lol, theres vl turbos running very low 8's with them...

cheers

Yes the 3540 will low mount..lol, they fit on stageas ffs..and they are the worst of the Nissan bunch to try fit turbos on stock manis'..., plus none of stao hypergears would fit stock manifold otherwise seeing as G3 etc is same size and comp cover as 3540 ....

cheers

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
