My mate has a single turbo on a stock 32 gtr engine running over 400kw and ran 10.8

I believe there is no difference if your running -5 at 350kw or a single turbo at 350kw

Same shit

When your custom manifold and custom single turbo get looked at by the police, and you didn't spend $1000 + on Mod plates and you get a yellow stick for it instead of going sleeper stock look, then all good. Besides ones the OP looked at were cheaper range singles anyway. Not to mention additional costs upon tuning and what not if you were to switch back to twins for a defect..

For circuit and road, definitely low mount twins. But for straight line top end and drags, you can't beat a big single turbo. a 400kw twin -5 setup and a 400kw single 3582 setup are very different. The single turbo give much more punch on boost where as the twins give wider power band

Size of the turbo/s has more to do with a wide or narrow power band than twin vs single configuration

Are people seriously going to argue this single vs twins thing on paper

Too many variables to generalise anything about it

EVOS?? HAHAHA. All GTRS are just SEXY! As for single turbos?? The f**king cars come out twin turbo, keep it twin, single is for tight asses who don't wanna buy two. And if u really want a car? A good one! And u got the cash, I know the man to do it!

I believe the points I've made here are relevant rather than typical "twin is better than single cos there 2 of em brahh". Only two reasons one goes single turbo on a GTR.. that's if the engine went bang or the turbos themselves went bang. I'm no expert with skylines but i'm fairly sure there's a few kits out there direct aftermarket bolt on twins that don't sit up against the rocker cover. Anyway regarding the OP's first question that car is in doubt not worth flying a state away and back to see it, I mean come on man look at it.. swede / coon / tryhard / top bloke ect not to mention cop magnet and a stock motor with the hefty price tag of $43k.. surprised no one on here can call it not worth it compared to some others for another 3-5k?

They would be the most likely reasons on a r34 GTR skyline worth 40k someone would waste $2-3k on manifold / $2k on a turbo and bother with all other on off bits piping/lines ect.. were not talking a $6k GTST to make it from 200hp to 230.. lol. I do forget a lot of this after market stuff is direct bolt on to rb blocks so I guess that's easy in that respect however your still battling the price tag to justify it on a r34? I don't know about you lot but if I was to change a turbo set up from either stock or aftermarket twins to an aftermarket HUGE single setup I would wage costs. Anyway why bother debating this your a "vic club member" you live in Victoria and we have the harshest road laws in the country. Your a moron if you live in a big city and think you won't get pinged in a skyline for a huge defect and be down at Vicroads getting EPA / underbody inspection and restore your rocket to 'stock' get it cleared again $$$ and then put all your go fast bits back on? Lol.

If your not driving like a cock, and dont talk to them like a cock... They generally dont give 3/5ths of f*ck all if its a single and will pay more attention to the pod filter (NSW COPS ANYWAY)... i know the VIC cops are more KENTS

First hand experiences i assure you, The turbo sits so high that i had to cut some of the reo out to close the bonnet :D

Just as reference, a mod plate wont help you if they want to bend you over proper.

Also Twins Eat a Fat one, .. Just to clear that all up :)

price was negotiated with the one in vic to quite a reasonable price - have a few good mechanic friends up in vic who checked the car out for me all looks good - confirmed that the front has not been in an accident after thoroughly looking at it - still thinking of flying up since all seems well drives well and its stock which is what i initially was looking for - if theres some 3k more then point it my way and ill check it out asap !

lol other then that stil enjoying the single v twin discsussion :)

GTR owners who went from twins to single, never go back to twins. GTR owners who prefer twins over single, never driven or been in a single. However I'd love to have a twin high mount TD06 25G setup :)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
