Well, the gtrs rear is the same as the -5/63 etc, I was just noting that there was an option out there that had the same flow as them except a smaller lighter wheel.

Simon may have had heat issues on the track, but he did have the response of -5s and almost 500awkws aswell, noting it would be a pretty kickass Street combo

Twins are gaids, only really works on a V6 or V8 or so when you have separate plenum a for the group of cylinders that are huffing into the turbo.

Twin scroll is where it is at, less restriction better efficiency and less piping and all the other bullshit associated with twins.

Look at Piggaz I told him over 6 years ago (not kidding) and look at him now. He's woken up to reality :)

I went built motor with a t51r [emoji16] even that was more fun

Prior to the rs's I had 2530 and they were heaps better. I bought the gtrs's just to try something different but the amount of shuffle made them absolute shit to drive with. I could not accelerate in 5 gear cruising on the freeway. I always had to drop back a gear.

Turbo is a nugget doesn't matter what engine is bolted to it's garbage much better options out there especially for the money they ask.

you just have to measure the front compressor wheel and then measure the turbine wheel.

it's the same as boosting your car to 50 psi and leaving the 2 inch exhaust on who cares what air you can get in you'll never get it out.

Got out of a stock 2.6 with a dirty old T04Z open scroll today.

Was actually quite impressed. 4500 rpm and was cracking gates, yet made 450 rwkw on unigroups dyno. Straight back onto song between gears.

Makes me upset why I've been playing in the sandpit for the last 9 years with twins.

Dry sump might be next on that list.

Bet the power delivery was fun.

It was.

Linear, quick to fall back into its stride. I would 100000% prefer that than a set of -5's (let alone a set is RS's) on a stock engine. Makes me very curious to see what a 3582R would do on the same setup, being smaller.

That was an old dinosaur garrett Z, open scroll, single gate setup.

Went in a stock 26 with 3582 once, man the power rush is hilarious.

Until fuel pump wiring fell out somehow (a donkey installed said pump) stopped me from buying that R.

Been debating whether to man up to get one for a couple of years, living close to Knox didn't help haha.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
