Send him a mesage; he's Russian but speaks English.
I'm pretty sure he runs a workshop; I'm sure he could point you in the right direction

Genuine.

I only have the PN for the entire turbo gasket set, which is worthwhile having if you plan to change the turbo one day. 14401-AQ826

Is yours damaged? I have never needed to replace one as yet.

found one @ just jap. i'll order one when i get the bc coilovers.

Perfect . thx for the advise. My luck is , that it would leak.

I ordered a new one today, along with a set of BC BR's from Just Jap. Going all out next friday. New Auto, exhaust & dump, HDI FMI & Bc's, R/C gaskets & a service... also a set of wheel bearings in the front..

Going to be a busy friday..

Hi Guys,

Mrs. and I are maybe considering a Stagea ARX four. The car will be for her.

Any common major issues to look out for? (Problems that would require me to take it to a specialist)

Plan on keeping it 100% stock.

90% urban use and shopping centre car parks. Other 10% country driving to the snow/holiday spots.

I plan to do regular maintence etc.

Use search function and you will find whaf you require.

Common issues

.turbo side cam cover gasket will split leaking oil onto turbo

.turbo blowing (oil starvaton)

.blow off valve farting

.restrictions in the dump pipe

.carbo build up in engine (apparent when you replace your cam gasket)

.oem boost controller will play up occasionally limiting boost at times

.banjo restricted.

Hope this helps. Im sure others can add to it

Mine is still going I think, I lent it to Jase a year ago. 13 years is pretty reliable if you ask me.

If only Nissan still sold that original part, not the part they sell now which only lasts a few weeks. (if you are lucky.)

My aftermarket ones seem to be lasting fine Leon... :)

Factory bov farting ? Is that the noise i hear at around 3500 on occasions, from the drivers sideof the car ?

Most likely. It's a weird sound. The stock BOV goes soft over time and farts as it isn;t strong enough to stay closed.

Grab a turbosmart Kompact BOV. Straight bolt on and will help hold boost if you start upping the boost at all

it happens every now & then in between gears. I'll be looking into the Kompact BOV asap.

Where does the factory boost guage connect up ? Mine is is always reading in the neg & occasionally goes to 0.

Is there a guage you can swap in it's orig place without going all ricer & mounting one.?

there is a common fault with them. they get dry joints on the sensor. there is a "how to" around done by scotty showing the fix. but the stock gauge isn't super accurate so if you are planning any major mods you will want a differant gauge. There are lot of differant ways people have mounted them so they dont stand out all ricer style

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
