highflow sounds like the go. Only thing is i need quick turn around as its a daily for my mrs with no other car so will have to get another turbo and send it off seems from the site about $900. Pretty reasonable and those graphs seem to be spot on for street use.

Are you sure your missus wants that kind of power? Even 250 would be a handful in the wet...

Was going lower boost in winter or even when she drives it. In saying that she has pretty good control with the foot and is actually very good at getting the car up and going. Not one to just flatten it actually feels what the car is doing. She drove my manual LS1 before and that was a pig to drive. I do understand turbo is a different car but to be honest i have more chance of coming unstuck than she does.

Pretty sure on the avcr you can actually turn boost down in certain gears.

I pretty much only drive it after i do something to it or someone else does.

Nismo GT diffs are great for daily driven cars.. they allow you to adjust the torque when it engages too.

I personally now run a 2 way KAAZ however the car is a street/track car and not daily driven.

A real diff. Quaife or other helical/torsen centre. Nismo or other brand 1, 1.5 or 2 way mechanical, depending on how street/track the car is intended to be.

After doing a lot of reading a lot of people are saying shimming the diff is fine. The LSD in it is pretty tight and predictable from the very little driving i have dont of it..

What is everyones opinions on shimming?

Seeing as its purely a daily driven car.

Also going to leave it at the power it has now and get a track car it looks like. Mrs suggestion not mine. She must of had a good day...

id say drive the car first and see how the diff is behaving. also in relation to your driving style and power levels you are achieving.

An R33 VLSD in good condition isn't a bad bit of kit and if it working fine then I don't see the point in throwing money at a diff. There are always plenty of places to throw money at a skyline. Id throw money at good tyres and suspension before changing out a diff that was performing ok.

If there was an unlike button I would unlike this. A VLSD is only useful in an NA Pulsar.

hey, don't get me wrong. I love a better diff. Ill have a better diff. But when there is usually always something to have money spent on in a skyline then jumping at this one unnecessarily its just not something id recommend. If he was going to be tracking a lot, then yeah for sure do it.

As is said, id go for tyres n suspension upgrades before a diff if the stocker is working ok.

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
