Sounds good!  Glad to hear you're happy with yours.

I liked the design of the Sinco over the 6Boost the way they run full split wastegates (one pipe off each half of the manifold then merging into one and even once merged it's still split all the way to the wastegate valve face.  Shouldn't lose any of the split pulse benefits that way.

I have zero doubt that the 6Boost would still do an amazing job but decided to go this way for something a bit different!

Same reason why I went with Sinco, because it's a true twin scroll manifold not like the 6Boost ones or similar.

So much Sinco love ??? ha ha!

The flanges are super solid,  5 year no crack warranty,  can't go wrong!

I must say I do rate you sheep shaggers as great fabricators! Rob from Racefab in NZ made my extended sump which is also a great piece of workmanship. 

Some very talented and alternate thinking guys there. 

While I'm throwing out the compliments  it's a bloody beautiful country. If anyone reading this (all 3 of you ??) hasn't been then get your arse over there, it's stunning at every angle. Queenstown is one of my favourite parts of the world. 

Right, enough love, time for an NZ joke to square things up...

Been to NZ twice already, great place - but one mofo who walked past us at Ferg Burger and made a snide remark "Oh looks like China is here" (I'm Asian but born here), so I stood up and and said asked politely "what the f did you just say?" and walked towards him. His mates were smart and dragged him away.

Other than that, pretty good experiences both times.

A few of your regular readers are kiwis...

There are dickheads in every country and NZ is no exception

Hell yeah, I love it! 

I told the missus I was going to hang it on the wall in the living room for a few months as a work of art.

Strangely enough she wasn't convinced. 

My 6 year old daughter told me "that's not art daddy, that's ugly"!  Ha ha, bloody kids!

Ooooooo mummy....

Just mocking it all up for now to work out how much of a nightmare the exhaust is going to be....

... annnnd I'm done :o

Turbo, manifold and block are probably similar enough to this to get some ideas: 

 

I read that post @Lithium but I didn't realise he was running Sinco too. Should be quite similar in design. I probably wasn't going to go that far back to bring the waste gate pipe back into the exhaust. Is there a preferable distance back from the turbo that works any better? I was probably thinking of bringing it back in at the bottom bend something like this-

Yeah, definitely Sinco and I'd say the same design - just for an RB25 NVCS head instead, and different coating.  Works really well.

In all honestly without having hard data etc I won't stamp my foot down with any strong opinion on the merge location, with gas flow where possible I like the idea of not stacking up too many "events" which can cause turbulence at one point as that can increase drag and slow down flow - both a bend and also a merge are sources of turbulence, so I guess at that bend there could be quite a bit happening compared to if the gases just have to take a bend then have a merge after the  fact but really I have no idea if or what the significance of that is... or if there are other things which could compromise spreading it out like how the sedan has it.

For what it's worth, the sedan is running a .4bar spring and experiences slight boost creep after a decent pull on wastegate boost - reaching maybe 8-9psi at full rpm if given enough time to, but it can hold 10psi dead flat.   The setup certainly flows well, though.

 

Looks great but i think I'll be plumbing it back in as soon as possible while still following the basic principal of coming back in on a nice angle as opposed to at 90 degrees.

 

 

For some reason I read my very first page of this build page and below is one comment that stood out.

It's good that I know myself!  That was almost 7 years ago (December 2012) I wrote that.  I must have had crystal ball!!!  Either that or I'm just shit at finishing things off....

Hey mate, cheers for that.  Your mate did a good job!  I'm an absolute TIG noob so will take me ages to do what probably took him not long at all!  There will be a lot of measuring, cutting and grinding and it still won't end up looking as good as yours!!

Doesn't matter, as long as it works and doesn't look like cocky shit I'll be happy enough!

Enjoy driving your beast, hopefully not too far away till I get to do the same with mine.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
