Hks2510s are the same as the motive hybrids. Note the hybrids are -7 turbines with -5 wheels, so it won't be making -5 level power.

I know of people very happy with their 2510s though

GT-SS or -9s seem to be a proven path, I'll just stick with that.

Yeh probably limited on 98.

Stock motor power limit? how long is a piece of string.

Generally over 20psi put arp studs in.

That's around what GT-SS/-9s will need on 98 to make 330 I think.

Might just bang them in and maybe get the timing covers freshened up and put some cam gears on it at the same time.

Hopefully not too soon as I won't be tracking it (or rarely if I do and carefully). It's just a weekender at most.

Comp was good, k's seem genuine and it's not making big power so hopefully it doesn't shit the bed straight up.

You won't need to touch anything internally in the engine till above 350kw at the wheels as long as it healthy and tuned properly. After 350 throw some head studs in it and keep pushing, a guy in WA has 500kw+ on a standard bottom end

A handful have claimed 380kw @25 psi.

I think 25psi would be the absolute max for them.

Yeah, claimed. And then failed to run the MPH at the drags (as in, not even close to 350rwkw). I don't think there is one "350rwkw+" -9 equipped GTR that's actually come remotely close to backing up it's roller number at the strip yet, even after all these years.

The problem with -7s and -9s is they simply do not respond to E85 well. Why you ask? Because they run out of air flow up top so you don't actually run out on 98 like you do with say a set of -5s because the boost is dropping off in the upper RPM - and when that is happening, you ain't gonna make much extra.

You get such good gains from -5s because you can run MORE boost than you can on 98 - they don't run outta flow on 98 as you get to around 20-22psi and for most motor builds are tapping out. E85 and 25psi and off you go and this is where you get the extra gains from in the top end and also the midrange due to so much extra air.

This is what -9s/-7s are a great street turbo on PULP. You will get some mid range on -9/-7 from E85, but it's just not going to give the kick/gains you get on -5s.

The GT-R I drove in QLD with -5's didn't excite me, but to be fair only dyno'd at less than 310kw for some reason (Haltech/pump fuel)

For this car, I'm willing to sacrifice top end for midrange and response.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
