GTR hoon: yes it is the garage defend panel, and yeah the Nismo ne1 exhaust flowed my 324kw easy :)

And I do still have the hks exhaust on, with the lumpy can it sounds so tough

Piggaz: why so little boost... Because stock engine..... And stock studs and head gasket :)

The above will be the next step :)

Sir_rb: yes 380kw was my round figure.... I didn't want to push to much boost as I wasn't keen on doing head gasket and studs just now... Hence only pushing 21.5psi

The car was already at jez's for 3 and a bit months, didn't feel like it being there much longer :P

  • 8 months later...

ok so its been a long while since I updated this,
hasn't had any work done to it for a long time but a month ago got a few things done.

I saw that the temperatures in the coolant and oil were getting a bit higher than usual so I decided to bite the bullet and just change all the cooling

so peace of mind that I knew it was all knew and up to date :)

so I ordered:

greddy oil cooler

koyo radiator

nismo therostat

new radiator hoses

while it was at the tuners I decided I might aswell get other things done aswell due to it being there anyway

so got some arp head studs and tomei valve springs put in aswell :)

car now makes 388kw @ 20psi

Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
