It definitely will be more reliable, but if you're going to go through the effort of a coil change and loom change to delete the ignitor module the R35 coils make more sense to use instead of the R34 coils.

The R35 coils provide around double the spark energy compared to any RB based coil. Increased dwell time settings are required to make the most of them within the ECU though. Looking at your car I assume you'd already have an ECU capable of this anyway, like a Haltech, Link, MoTeC. Even Power FC can change the dwell with FC edit, although it's in firing angle instead of dwell msec.

It's got a link ECU, only because I was considering adding a fuel module so it can run e85. Hence the better ignition. I don't think the fuel side needs an upgrade as my mechanic that cleaned the injectors can't believe how much fuel they can pass. Got internal pump feeding surge tank to 2 x 340lph bosch fuel pumps feeding each side of injector rail. Good set up. As this Corona virus has isolated me from Perth I can't get a retune done. I could push for compassionate grounds. As my wife knows the only other love of my life is driving my car!!! I've just stripped down my diff as seized the pinion bearing. Not a nice experience when whole rear end is locked up!! Anyway was also wondering what the front and rear pinion bearings, driveshaft bearings and seals part no's were and where you'd suggest I should get them from??? I need my locker back, the lsd just doesn't track like a locker hey!!

Thanks for your advice and knowledge too because I've pretty well learnt everything I know along the way and would like to share my experiences too in the future!

Did you mean retune? If so, then not likely, no. Unless it was tuned on the ragged edge with the spark failing to burn all the fuel. In which case someone would need their arse kicked anyway.

Yeah I meant retune, bloody predictive text needs a good luck in the arse too!!

The Platinum Racing kit is pretty good, done a r34 & 2jz setups. Comes with everything & has online instructions. Start first go and no problems since. Only use genuine as have seen some issues with others.
The Link is able to to 3D dwell time adjustment, I can provide a map if required.

Massive difference in price and looks more trick than the other set up too, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction mate. Your a bloody legend!!!

I forgot to keep you informed, but last year, I installed r34 coils, a do luck r34 harness, so I removed the amplifier, and changed the socket on the motor side.  it works perfectly.

 

I remind you that my goal was simply to make it more reliable because I had micro cutouts, so my main goal was to remove the capricious element: the amplifier.

 

And also, I have a non-programmable mine’s ECU.  if I had a link or haltech, I would have taken r35 or r8 coils.

I have the same problem when I hit above 7500 to 8000 revs, I think the r35s are the way to go. I've got the car up for sale but I will probably keep if no one's willing to pay the 20k I'm asking and just keep improving her over time. My benefit their loss hey!

20200409_125058.thumb.jpg.ab0ce8f9c4489055fcc96de555aa963f.jpgStill stuck on best place to get bearings/seals kit for my diff too. Plus tried many options to get part no's with very little luck, anyone point me in the right direction so I don't get ripped off!!! 

remove bearings, measure them and go to cbc or some other bearing retailer. Probably better of taking it to a gearbox/diff shop as will need to reset the backlash and will then have warranty.

Cheers, I'm just trying to do it on the cheap but your right better to be safe than sorry hey!!

    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
