Depends on where you want to compromise and what you think you will get the most reward from, you can definitely save a reasonable amount of money and still get respectable performance - however with this there is less risk you are going to look back and think... Maybe this could be better, but now I have spent the money.

Hehe sounds familiar :ph34r:

And if the Mat now could talk to the Mat who was angsting about whether to spend that money, what would you tell yourself?

STFU and buy it!!! ;)

Yeah power to the ground and I can't get full bore with 245 Michelin PSS and supposedly 271 at the wheels .

My gut feeling is that the 3073HTA in an 82 housing should be a good all rounder in an RB25 provided you don't mind having what looks like a GT3582R under the lid .

A .

harden up princess, buy wider tyres. 245 wide was so 1993

:laugh:

I stick to 265/35 as its close enough to stock speedo reading! AND at 390kw power to the ground doesnt happen..... At 360ish you can get it to grip up at the start of third if you mash the pedal from the get go..... So at 271 there is no excuse OR poor suspension setup...

Yep, I ran 255s on the back of mine and at the ~270kw area it was fine - maybe you could feel the tyres struggling a bit in 2nd, but only enough to make it obvious they were earning their keep.... nothing that required lifting of the throttle to let hook up or anything, unless it was wet.

I can't think of a better tyre than a Michelin PSS.... The traction issue described is far from a fault of the turbo or the tyre (size/make)..

Definitely a fault of the current alignment (or lack thereof)

So are all atp housings crap or is it a hit and miss affair?

People have had mixed bag with their luck with them - so far anyone I have heard of (including on forums) I know who have had issues are ones who have been running the turbo HARD. One of my mates has been running his EVO with an ATP TS 1.06 HTA3582 on pump gas for years (~330-360awkw max) as a time attack/hillclimb car with no issues. That case I showed was actually the only case I know of first hand, no one else I know has had a specific issue - and that car had been run to >500kw @ hubs on an SR20VET with a GT35 hotside and typically raced at race events (not time attack, actual laps) at >400kw so it was pushed pretty hard.

Not saying it WILL happen, but the potential is there.

fo sure!

I keep hearing the same bs about not being able to get traction from a sub 250kW car, it's becoming a broken record disco, get wider tyres, fix up your dated suspension and stop mentioning you have no traction.

There are plenty of guys making over 300kW and I never hear them having traction issues.

This exactly.

I had 266kw and coming on boost in 2nd it would spin my Kumho 245 KU39's (comforty/sporty) tyres pretty hard. The car would snap out to 45 degrees, and bash the limiter and go nowhere really,

Then I got pineapples fitted and Nitto Invo's at the rear in 255 when the setup changed a bit and now it doesn't spin 304kw when the rubber is warm.

The setup is king.

A decent diff helps too, the viscous LSD is a piece of poo, as it's a viscous coupler there will be always some element of slip between both wheels.

Correction. As it's a viscous coupler there will always be a shit load of slip between the wheels as soon as you have more than standard power available.

got a decent diff? with 255s mine's not toooo bad at 340, retune in a few weeks might be worse after that :D

Nismo diff in my car! love it!

    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
