Ah just say this model skyline was the Bathurst "SPECIAL RACE ADDITION" and it was released with a top mount turbo officer. Get a little tag made up saying genuine Nissan on the turbo and manifold somewhere and bobs your uncle. Lol maybe. ;)

And seriously what can they say to that? Nothing I would have thought. How can they prove it's not?

They don't need to. They just send you for an emissions test/what ever else the hell they want you to do.

If your on jungle juice would you pass with a 400 cell cat in place? And if you go through the hassle once and show following offices your EPA emissions test has past certificate perhaps one would be ok? Added things if your not getting up it and driving hard around town you should be right. I also love screamers myself but on the street having it plumbed in is the go for noise level reduction. But what ever you do they'll do one better at times. Other thing would be have a tune in your ecu to switch maps to a EPA safe tune perhaps? I dunno lol just trying to hope when I put my new top mount kit on I wont put off the road. Oh well I'm leaning towards a hta gt3582r at the moment with a twin scroll ass on it. Unless stao can make me something close to it's performance.

could be stupid question....

would there be a twin low-mount option for an RB26 with these HTA turbos?

I dont think its a stupid question... It was asked a page back i think and its not an off the shelf option as far as i know!

There is an option, I'm just not certain how good it would be - Owen Developments in the UK do a few custom FP based combos which FP themselves don't release to address customer requirements in the UK: http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/article/76/NEW_Skyline_R33-34_twin_GT2668_HTA_turbos/

They've also sold HTA4094R turbos and if I remember a couple of other interesting HTA based units which I am fascinated that FP themselves don't market.

Nice find...

As always :yes:

wonder if there are any results floating around at gtr.co.uk - will have to have a dig

1100 pounds though... each. yikes. less 20% but still...

in the old money... would these be classified as bigger than 2530/-5's?

There is a guy (mentioned this stuff recently in this thread) on the UK forums that installed a pair on his and from memory it had no surge issues or anything, but his engine failed before he managed to get a full tune into it :( If the compressor doesn't choke on the turbine or smaller compressor cover (not convinced it won't) then I'd peg it to be capable of outflowing -10s and spool somewhere between the -5s and -10s. Hard to say though

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
