Like I said above, the 6768 had no problems making power, we did not push it ... barely touching 18psi for the 500 awkw. Making the power down low is where we need it then winding up the boost to make the top end is the plan !!

500 awkw is enough to play with (to start with)... I've done about 8 laps in the car so far... 5 at Phillip Is with no power steering and maybe 3 around SMP North Circuit with the Holinger with oil pressure warning alerts, which ended up being a case of trimming down the alert threshold at low rpms.

Should be fun once its sorted!! Still got to get used to the sequential but no problems slaming through the gears with the foot flat to the floor down the striaght !! :)

Ok guys, I need help finding a rear wing... Voltex can't make me one in time, the local APR distributor has not got back to me, He said he was getting a few dual pane Nemo style ones in (designed by the man!!) and I asked that I get my name put on one...

Anyone have any suggestions on where I can get one quickly or know someone that has one lying around ??

It needs to be 1695mm + 200mm long (including end plates) !!

As are topstage.

Thanks... Freddy seems pretty good. See how I go. I like his front diffuser too.

Need to find someone to make the wing mounts. Thinking of going around the back and under the car ala GT3 style??

New fuel system was fired up today.

New Turbo should be delivered by end of next week.

Will need to wait for Jim (Tunehouse) to get back before it gets tuned. Gives me two weeks to get everything else done.

Still need to choose wing, get it and sort out mounting.

Front bar needs to be remounted and secured better as it broke the side mounting bolts and was dragging on the ground at speed.

Ive been away, back tommorrow... Time to pull the finger out!!

Do you want it in dry carbon or fiberglass John?

I have a custom widebody fenders that will clear 315/xx/18 11-12 inch easily. I have a spare fiberglass front fenders, Topstage has the moulds for both front and rear fenders atm. If you are keen then you should talk to Freddy but I think you are leaving it too late.

The rear will involve cutting your whole fender off and replace it with a dry carbon piece. The front is "almost" bolt on. I made some modification to the firewall for aerodynamic reason and the fender is shaped for it...if you struggle for time and dont have time to modify the firewall, then cut off the inner "flare" of the fender and bolt it straight on to your car..it should still help with the aerodynamic.....that's if you sweet talk Freddy into working 24 hours.

Best bet is to flare the rear and look for another wide front fender. I searched everywhere before and could not find a dry carbon one or even a wet carbon with aerodynamic on it for the r32 gtr...hence I had to design my own. I even bought one from EA and it did not fit. I am happy help you out if you are stuck and let you have my fiberglass one, if you need it, with the right offer..... I really don't know how much it worth...but it costed me a bomb and lots of hours.

Check my build thread if you want some pictures.

Talk to Freddy John. Between Freddy and I, we have most of the R32 GTR body moulds. I don't really know how much to charge you for using the mould...just ask Freddy for a fair price....happy to help another SAU member.

Good luck John and it will be good to catch up on the day.

Thanks for the offer on the front guards just pm me what you want for the fibreglass front guards and send me some current pics of what they currently look like... I will let you know if I am interested.

I was hoping for a bolt up straight fit solution to the front guards and Im anticipating the rear is not going to be that straight forward.

Im not looking for a long term solution as the car will be going on a diet after WTAC and Im going to have a proper look at the aero.

My priority is to get the mechanical, electrical and chassis sorted and get some seat time... Everything has to work and be reliable hence the looks are not so important for my first WTAC...

The FG were prepared and primed for the mould. They have been wrapped straight after moulding and in storage since. I won't have time to take it out just to take pictures but it should look like this

These look awesome! How much wider are they, and are these actual pics of the guards to fit R32 GTR?

Do they have more clearance for extra lowered cars as in John's car now has the option to go lower as the roll centres are raised?

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
