i had a gtx3076 in 0.82 external gate form and it was a little dissapointing how late the rush came on 98 fuel, even with E85 it was a doughy unless the revs were at 4000rpm onwards where it would react with massive wheelspin ( setup dependent).

I dont know if an OP6 housing would flow as much as a garrett so it might have better response but then choke up top,

you'd be better off with a GT3076 with a Garrett 0.63 or 0.82

I think its going to cook the OP6 rear housing tho. that comp wheel is good to run on external gate with a .82 turbine housing. If you have to use that OP6 rear housing with a GTX core then chose the gtx3071

GTX3071 for the win! Better response and better comp to turbine ratio.

Yep, steer clear of the GTX3076 for low boost/power combos as from what i can see its better suited to someone looking for a GT3582 type result :)

Mick_o set the bar for the GTX3071 and it seems to be a hell of a street combo!

Apologies that I don't follow these threads too closely - what is the general consensus on the OP6 housing allowing in terms of flow? I would be surprised if it would even allow a GTX3071R to be utilised properly. Is this case one where a GTX3067R might be worth considering?

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
