At the time I was happy to buy a clean mostly std 96 without ABS , just more crud you can't legally remove and expensive boxes that can fail . Couldn't escape the drivers handbags though .

If I had to rebuild a 25 short I'd use Neo style rods pistons and lid .

Nope, though I personally wouldn't go for the HTA2868 twins that are available - I doubt the combination would match up overly well to an RB... especially when squeezed into those little housings. Owen Developments sell them though, and someone installed a pair on his GTR but then had an engine failure which set him back something fierce so not sure if or when that will be back together. It seems folly to me to try and push past the "-5s" flow at this stage in those housings, I guess the closest to a setup like that which I would like to see would be more like upgrading low mount T517Zs to use the 68HTA wheels, probably less likely to surge and generally be a better match.

Fair point. I had a feeling that little rear housing would/is the bottle neck. -5's it is then!

What would be nice would be an HTA equivalent of -9s IMHO, something that flowed a bit more than -5s but spooled better than any low mount bolton option currently available. Wonder if the would bite :-D

I actually thought something along those lines after i posted it. Same peak figure flow of a -5, just come on even earlier. I would be so down for that!!!!!

Never satisfied :P

Don't even know if they make something like that.

Nothing really has happened for the low mount GTR setup for years.

Unless you have a 35gtr :ph34r: they have been making some crazy numbers lately with the HTAs

Because going to a bigger single is winning - and it seems people are more keen on winning these days :D Twin scroll HTA3586 would go nicely! ;)

I have no doubt that a well matched single would yield a better result... Just can't give up the "standard look" :/

^ just black everything like Mat, for ninja stealth look lol

Lol i think Paul killed mine in terms of the stock look..... But mine is :ph34r: spec..... I was originally going to do the front housing of the turbo BUT it looks too good and i am kidding myself if i think i can hide it :laugh:

Yours looks more stock than most RB25DET engine bays, defect free I guess?

then again it depends on the copper :)

I've been pulled over in my shitbox and popped the hood. I told the copper it's stock and he was like yeah it looks pretty stock to me, close bonnet.. happy days.

Maybe the stock airbox saved me from a defect, hopefully be getting turbo/manifold by Q3 after my tax returns hehe

A low mounted 6boost I think could almost get away with it, I just need a heatshield made up and it will come as close as it gets I think.

If you are fouling the front housing on the 3037 then the HTA version wouldn't have much chance as it has a bigger front cover again, i should have got a side by side pic but i didn't think of it at the time!

I even asked you to :P On that note, DYNO PLOTS???!!! :P

I think it could be done, engine mount moved/modded but its a PITA

You have done an epic job! Hurry up and get results ;)

Did you? Oops...

I sent an email and Adam will do it when he gets a chance :) You waited this long, so wait some more hehehe

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • 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.
