hey stix

im doing identical setup except im keeping stock cooler pipes for the "its bog stock" look. did you need to change to hard pipe or just wanted to for obvious reasons.

what boost did you use for that power on 98

Problem with stock cooler pipes is they pop off with high boost pressure. It was something we had to do. Its sitting at 1.6bar for 402kw max injectors. 1.4bar is what it is set for the street.

ahh bugger the old hose blow off situation . side effects off boosts, was that using stock bovs? or were they blocked off?

ill leave my under tray off and always carry a few tools just in case lol

Actuators are what they came with. Havnt had any problems. Think spring rate is 1bar.

Yeah stock BOV's but they are at their limit now apparently. So if I upgrade my injectors I think they will be required as well.

Forged bottom end and a after market oil pump would be a must for me if i wanted to make the most of -5's.. No point in having -5's if your not going to 8000rpm.

I've seen results from well sorted stock bottom ends with -5's making power without reving past 7500 so when 9's dont cut the mustard theres no other choice really except 5s and chase response.

Oil pump gears are ok but forged bottom end not needed

The problem is there are to many people who want to build an engine because it make 10kw more then factory, when its been proven the rb26 will take over 400kw at the wheels without being forged

+160K stock engine with -5s + Poncam Bs making with no noticeable loss down low compared to previous 34R turbos + dialed stock cams, but big gains in mid/high end.

Upcoming E85 tune will bring even more fun times.

lol i accidentally quotd myself lol

but in saying that my engine is getting built with Tomei pump and the other usual shit to make the most of the 5's like you said earlier

undecided atm but is on the cards i do know if i go that route ill end up with -10s.

just wanna keep things simple n looking stock. last car i built n tuned myself was tidy as big power and cops f**ked me. so i bought a Ducati 1098s lets just say it turned me of cars altogether for years

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
