I've been looking at all the previous posts on GTR turbo upgrades, Although it is very good seeing peoples results, its a real pain having to read through 3+ pages to see what the results are!!!

I'm considering an upgrade ATM, originally I was goign to get my stockers converted to steel wheels - But at a cost of $4000 for the pair, it is just about cheaper to go for something like HKS GT 2530, Trust T517Z(8cm) or Apexi ax5360....

Would it be possible to have a graph/poll made in sticky, showing at a glance what each person acheived???

It seems the 'simple' path to 320+rwkw is any of the above turbos + 700cc injectors + PFC + nismo/044 pump + front pipes + 3inch??? - All for the princely sum of around $7.5 in parts....

Anyone else have any thoughts???

will take you for a ride in mine tonite, and thats on a conservative tune of 14psi and that will give you an indication of what the 2530's are like (and mines built as a daily) :D

But I also wouldnt mind seeing a comparison of all the above mentioned turbos squished into one thread (e.g this one)

We were going to organise a dyno day down in Melbourne later in the year getting all the GTR owners with different turbo upgrades with similar power goals - 300-350kw @ wheels and dyno them all on the same day and have a definitive comparison.

I believe we have everything covered, from Trust T517z, HKS GT2530s, HKS GT-SS, APEXi AX5360s, as well as one high mount single turbo with the same power goal as the low mount options...

No dates yet..! > looks at Merli !! Must be a Melbourne Sydney thing, and Merli's gone the whole hog, as soon as his car & him are ready then a date should be set.

But Merli, you said the Apexi AX5360s have een covered?? Who's got these ? The only person I know who had these was Dean (vspecv) but haven't sen a dyno.

I know of a brand new set for sale ~$5K, apparantley these are meant to be better than all the above. I was looking at the Apexi's before the GT2530's, heard there were GTR's in the 10's running these turbos. But not many people new anything about them, so I stuck with the tried and tested GT2530's.

Hey what about the pov pack GTS? Maybe needs to be over a weekend, with one day at a dyno, the next at a track? Could make it an annual event! :D

Edit: Oh I sold a set of AX53B60's to a guy in Adelaide... maybe he might be interested in sharing his results (his girlfriend is on the forums)

meshmesh, I could have sworn someone spoke up in the last thread we were discussing this and said he had the APEXi turbos? I could be wrong! If I am, then we should try to find someone with them :D

I should have my car back in 3-4 weeks, so give me a bit of time to run it in, and get it tuned and then we'll be good to go!

Doughboy, obviously anyone is welcome to participate... Even if it is with a silly GTS :) :)

Yeah guys, we will hold a dyno day in the very near future between the Melb boys, and another one later in the year for the boys in Sydney to come down...

So far for the Melb one we have the following combinations:

- HKS 2530's

- Trust T517Z's (8cm2, yes that's right, thought I had the 10cm2, but it is confirmed I have the 8's)

- Nismo N1's

Will keep you guys posted with results, stay tuned!!!!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
