Ok, my latest random thought (mind you these arn't backed with a lot of knowledge which is why i am asking)...

Yesterday, i was thinking, if the Aus delivered maximas came with 5 stud hubs (the ones slightly newer than the cef looking model)... can these hubs be bolted straight on to a cef?

I realise more people would've done this if it where the case but i had to ask anywhoo... any imput guys?

That is a Damn good question........By the way..a CT26 won't bolt on, and besides they are also a ceramic turbine, therefore the benefits would be minimal........

better getting an HKS 2530. A turbo such as that will place your peak power at approx 5500rpm, ideal for drift.

Yeah, that what i was thinking, I mean, I know Nissan has a habbit of using common parts which makes modifications a lot easier for us... but i was just looking at a maxima thinking hmmmm, I wonder lol!.... any research results will be tops thanks guys...

We did the conversion on mine in perth.

Engine - $8000.. had a/m goodies

gearbox - $1500 Rebuilt VL Turbo item

Turbo's - $4500.. over 300rwkw @ 1bar.. love it.

also got a custom 8l sump

custom tail shaft

Wolf3d v4 pro ecu

etc etc

it all adds up.. I reckon it cost me over $20k all up with parts labour tuning etc.. but its worth it :P

hub wise i run 5 stud conversion all round from R32 gts-t/Z32 with the bigger brakes. it is an easy conversion.

Ditto, but I have DBA 4000 slotted disks and RB74 pads. Id have a look at the maxima disks and calipers hey, I cant see them being better than the R32 items. (ie 4 pots)

Yeah, you've kinda made the 2 points i've been keeping in that back of my head....

I figure, if you can just swap hubs with a new maxima (without having to swap anything else)... then you can get brand new rotors (rather than second hand) and what ever calipers you like... do you know what i mean?....

Ok, next question....

Hows this sound for an intermacooler?

Hybrid Bar and Plate; 15 Dar design (apparently a new design with better flow etc)

600x300x76

How would this go on a stockish cef for light dori use?... (ie ammature) i'll want a FMIC obviosly and i can get this one cheap... is it a good one to use or should i get a GTR intercooler (tube and fin?)...

I got no idea bout em eh... :confused: LOL!

Get the bar n plate hybrid one. Also use a bleed valve, I can get you the GFB bleed valve for $45 coz I have a trade acct with the distributor in VIC, however the pipes on the RB20DET on the ceffy (stock one anyways) is different to a R32 so installation is a lil trickier.

My dad's ceffy now sports a GFB bleed valve and it does a wonderful job.

I remember reading an article bout the pro cons of bar n plate and tube n fin but i have learnt nothing.

I think the gtr ones are tube n fin aren't they? Personally i trust calsonic more than hybrid but hey I'm only going by brand :(

Can anyone explain quickly what the practical advantages/disadvantages would be? I thought for 90% of people out there it wouldn't make too much difference.

I figure, if you can just swap hubs with a new maxima (without having to swap anything else)... then you can get brand new rotors (rather than second hand) and what ever calipers you like... do you know what i mean?....

I don't see this being less than $500 all up. If it was more than $500 I'd spend a couple of hundred extra to shop around for some r32-m/s14/15/r33 brakes. I mean the maxima isn't a performance car. The rotors from a skyline would be better than maxima ones imo.

Being new or not doesn't matter if you get some rotors with some decent bite - machine them down and bobs your uncle.

but it does make a difference when theyre bigger than the ones on the older ceffies and are 5 STUD. skyline brake conversion would set u back around the 1000 mark inc labour... id rather do it myself to cut the costs down and cause i like to work on my own car... but not everyone can do that or has the tools.

*shrug* wouldn't bother with maxima brakes just for a 5 stud conversion. Drilling hubs is cheaper if that's what you're after if not using 4 stud to 5 stud spacer. On the other hand I don't know what i'd do my car already had the conversion done ;)

daveo - no, nothing wrong with that but I think you'd be changing the handling characteristics to make it into a bit of a different car than the usual drift car. Don't get me wrong I think it'd be great but i think the same difference would apply to a s13 sr20 and a s13 rb30.

Mind you it'd be crazy nice to have a fat cefiro tourer styled car. .. wide body kit, fat 18 or 19x10" wheels. 265 tyres. Chunk rollcage. Subtler muffler (than drift styled). JGTC styled cefiro. *drool* :aroused:

lol!... no, I was asking if you could bolt up the 5 stud hubs from like a 92-3 model maxima then get brand spankin new rotors then ya calipers... wondering if it would be a cost effective move or what or if it can even be done at all....

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
