Most people here would recommend the Quaife front diff over the nismo, as its a helical type diff instead of mechanical plates, helps with understeer under load. Also my diff guy doesn't like to install mechanical fronts as too much of the diff housing needs to be ground down to make them fit apparently

Additionally, note that for the gtx turbos, they aren't a bolt in affair, to get mine i needed to find a rear housing to suit and then get a front housing machined. As was mentioned in the first page, you should probably be able to get a turbo shop to do that using tx 2863's into your existing turbo housings. why not 2860's? because you cant machine something to be smaller than it already is.

You mean you'll get more lag and shift the mid range higher up the RPM..

Longer duration cams are not the answer to getting better response or making better mid range.. Yes you will make more torque yes you'll make more power but not where you want it.. and that's nice and early.

I have 272 by 10.8 cams on a 2.6 with -9 turbos and have full boost 21psi by 3800rpm on 98

put some smaller cams in you will get even better response.. and welcome back lol.. you went missing for a while

Check my build thread for very detailed Nismo install instructions including highlighted areas where to grind. It was not significant by any means.

Regarding the clutch diff vs helical...I think the nismo 1.5 instructions references that it is a lightly set clutch style...not crazy deceleration lockup (but I haven't driven mine yet). I'll let you know when I drive it.

I would also have chosen quaife but I would have had to become a dealer in the USA and buy 10 of them to get one!

Also nismo came with the bearings and seals. I don't think other ones do. (Tomei, quaife, etc).

Also don't forget you will be buying / ordering shims. The setup took a bit of time for me. I had to make 2 shims.

I understand there will be lag, but there is acceptable lag and a dyno graph that looks like a cliff face. Nothing and everything for a split second.

Dynos gives u info in one gear and WOT.

On the street you never load up 4th at 2000 rpm at WOT and wait for boost. Real world is different to a dyno.

Also the EFR are literally the fastest responding turbos on the market right now. Geoff at full race made 704whp through the 8374 EFR on a stock bottom 2.6 with lots of headwork on E85 through a cat.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
