Can anyone confirm that these are legit n1 turbos? They do look all good i just noticed  the compressor side looks nothing like my old n1 turbos. I know they aren’t ceramic and they are in good condition.Just want them to get me by until I get my single setup figured. I’ll be running 1.4 bar with the twins for now.

New turbos fitted with the new greddy down pipe to a brand new custom 4” stainless exhaust! My buddy Rashid is super talented with the tig. We used all vibrant pieces with a vibrant muffler. Super high quality stuff turned out great!

after a good night of hard spirited drving, it was bvious that the new exhaust system brought the temp of the exhaust down by alot. at 1.4 bar now and the nismo injectors are at there limit......clutch slipping, injector duty cycle almost 100 now. time for some new parts!! cars never felt so good. my engine is stock minus the head gasket and seems to handle the power fine minus the clutch.

just wanted to add, if you guys are looking for 4" mufflers with a 4" inlet that is super hi flow this vibrant muffler i got sounds unreal! it is very loud but super deep. ive seen a couple threads and posts on guys looking for mufflers for custom setups with 4" inlet and didnt find much. it was this or the aes mufflers so i chose the vibrant as not many poeple do. just to be different glad i did sounds way better than the hks,tomei, or kakimoto gt1 oz(in my opinion). althought we have no laws down here at all for exhaust so might not be the best setup for places with stricter emission laws etc.

Finally got the exhaust all finished up but ended up finding a bent wastegate bracket on the new turbos hopefully just bending it back solves issue for now. Looks like shipping dropped it.

This is the bent up bracket had a mate right fired up when I saw this. Oh well could be bombs and bullets cars almost back together gunna see how she does at 1.4 bar. Tested the wastegate with some applied air seemed fine.

ya looks even flusher now as I just quickly wrapped some electrical tape around the evc to make it tighter as I didn't have the proper 2 side tape. It now sits totally flush with a proper install. josh's custom parts are unreal he also made me a dual 60mm gauge holder that mounts centre vent ill be posting pics after install.

ya mate I thought so myself, whatever the material he uses is a way higher quality than OEM parts

Custom gauge pods(centre vent direct clip in) for bnr32. I can get more if needed. Not a cheap part I may add. What good parts aren’t lol.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
