Yeah seems to be a bit of luck involved. I've hammered 10 pr 12 laps around Wakefield at 1 bar without hurting the turbo (spat a few other things though). Don't have a FMIC either. Other people spit bits of their turbo out at .81 bar. Go figure.

been running my 32 with exaust pod without touching the turb and it went to 11 psi just from that now its got a bleed valve to set it to 14.7 switchable and she is running nice and hard all day every day.

Then again im just waiting for it to blow so i can get a 2540 :)

I am looking to boost my GTR and waant to know is it always the case that all debris from the exhaust wheel goes down the exhaust pipe or is there ANY chance of any bits entering the exhaust ports. I can probably live with the replacement cost of a turbo but don't want to stuff the head/valves etc.

i was told if u back off it can go back in the motor ?

anyone know?

ed,

wasnt aware that 32 turbos are a bit more heat resistant. :D kinda happy about that i must say, though i  still want  a 2540 on it.

Its not that 32 turbos are more heat resistant, Its more the fact that the rb20 produces less heat to the turbo than rb25

Its true that a steel wheel will take more heat than the ceramic one. But if you take a RB25 turbo and put it in a RB20 you will be able to run more than 14psi that is possible in its original application.

I did not know that the RD20 turbo had a steel wheel? Why did nissan go to the ceramic one? Maybe for a quicker spool up yime or something...

The biggest mistake people make with bikes, Karts, and cars is forget the guy who designed the thing had a fair idea.... After all he earns a heap of Yen and would be out of a job otherwise.

Safest boost level is standard... end of story! It allows for fuel variables, worn engine components and is working with its mate the ECU who was born the same day.

Additional boost = additional performance. and the reliability is inversely proportional.

That is why most performance mods are sold as a package... and considering you can hardley notice <20kw, it becomes a game of chance, you decide at what level you wish to play...

Good Luck

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
