V8's are overrated, Just set that RB up properly, look at the results with FP turbo's, an FP35 combo would give you what you want both response and top end with right housing, just look at 34GeeTee's results with only a FP3076 on an RB25, he got 390kw's with big mid range, with a 3.2L and FP35 it could be a perfect match...

The only way I will know is when the next work is done and there are results to compare, main test is driving it.

The Skyline is something that gets into your blood , why, farked if I really know ???????????

Had a look at the FP3582 and 3586 if these are the right 35 models @ 75Lb/min as to the PT6262 @ 74Lb/min.

What is the main difference with the FP and PT Turbos , they seem similar?

Who knows :P

I reckon enjoy the car for a bit, no more thinking about mods!! Then get the car looked at by DVS or whoever and go from there.

I do enjoy it, but it is not finished and I was always going to do the surge tank and pod cover, just adding the flex tune , well not adding it, I thought it was getting done with the build :)

ok - I want to see a vid of this launching. Did they setup launch control?

Good point, I think the Haltech Plat/Pro has that function, has to be better than some of my efforts, haha

When it is done I will do a Vid of a launch, have to give you blokes a laugh after all of this crap :)

Would it really need it? being a street car and such a responsive setup

I do not think it matters if a car is responsive or not to have launch control, they have it on the GT-Rs and they are very responsive.

I see it is easy enough for a mechanic to set it up, so maybe :)

Does it stay active all the time or is there a button/switch to activate it?

Its not hard to launch a gtr

Just get the revs up you want, I get the feel the clutch is engaging, let go and away you go :)

Thought it might be interesting to see the difference ?

The key is to use the handbrake and clutch to pre load the drivetrain so you dont "shock" it upon take off

Thats what I said I do, I feel the clutch engaging before I take off.

Listened to blokes saying take it to 7000rpm and step off, no thanks! I will make it as easy as I can on the driveline :)

I take it to 7krpm sometimes more depending how sticky the bitumen is

This was when I first bought the car, if I did not do 7k it went nowhere.

I do around 5k now and that seems pretty good, I also have AD08Rs on and they are pretty soft

haha what they did setup launch control - It sits there in your power band and lets your boost build and then load it up and release.

That is why new GTR's have it as well as all super cars.

That because they are basically autos, you know, so the launch doesn't rely on driver skill. He he.

Would rather have a skyline auto, big stall with a trans-brake. :D

He already knows the answer. He is just ignoring it. An engine is just an air pump. His results are on par with a majority of other results using the same turbo on 3l+ capacity but somehow he believes it should be different. Maybe some fairy dust and a happy dyno is what he needs.

Have u had a car with a restricted turbine that caused boost to drop as peters did?

No issues with mine holding boost with a similar size turbine wheel.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
