Yes it's true. I use twin, low-mount T51R-SPL's on a bong-pipe manifold.

Can't believe I never saw this thread, Steve. Ya big goose. Now my secret is out, (well, to the 4 people that actually ever look at this section of SAU anyway).

mate someone swears that a hi-flow was put on ur car before u owned it.....

i give u credit on ur efforts and the fact that ur pushing so hard with ur current setup and running spectacular times....we soley rely on the information that you have provided us.....i just dont want to see others take ur path and be mislead because the information wasnt exactly true......

im not having a go at you....i just want to decifer whose spinning shit cause this is a pretty big ingredient to ur sucess if it was true....an easy reply would be "i have taken the turbo off and it is in fact standard"....OR " i havent taken the turbo off there could be some truth to it"....... so dont get so offended u dinky di gong bong boy :jump:

nv033,

The person who told you is missinformed....errrr spinning sh*t actually.

I owned the nitrous kit (parts of) that the car now runs before 2rismo bought the kit and I can tell you that my old GTS-T was quicker than my R32 gtr is once the gas was on. If you look at his times without gas they are on par with what some of the gtst stocker turbo owners have been getting with good tyres. I ran low 13's in my old gtst without gas, so the times are ok.

He is contributing to the knowledge base by recording his efforts for everyones benifit. He hasn't needed to go to boost over 13 psi because nitrous does the extra shove. With conservative boost there is no reason to 'need' a steel exhaust wheel in your turbo.

I have not had the exhaust dropped and seen the exhaust wheel.

I do know that George (previous owner) didn't change the turbo.

I do know that Paul G. (the original Australian registered owner and the guy who spent the majority of the money on it) didn't change the turbo or blow it up for that matter.

Unless the person you're talking to worked at SSS Automotive and snuck a free exhaust wheel upgrade onto a 2nd hand RB25DET motor they sold Paul when he popped the 1st motor, I think someone's spinning you some real powerful shit.

===========================================

Here's the whole story:

- Car arrives in Aus circa 1999.

- Big Boys Toys comply and register it.

- B.B.T. then sell it to Paul G who decides to circuit race the car in the Porsche club of which he is/was a member.

- Factory fuel pump shits itself at or around turn one at Oran Park Raceway - leans out motor and melts lots of interal goodies.

- Replacement motor is purchased from SSS Automotive in Sydney (as evidenced by the SSS barcode on the timing belt cover - anyone with one of their replacement motors will know what I mean.

- Motor fitted, tuned and raced by Paul until he sold it to George (two40) who, much like myself, couldn't afford to own it.

- Car sold to me in exactly the same condition and spec as when the replacement motor was originally fitted.

- Car raced by me ever since.

==========================================

The amazing thing is that if this person is fair dinkum, they're not really showing their talents as a turbo reconditioner/modifier as I am running within 1/10's of a mph of the other std turbo guys when I'm not using the gas.

Either I have, as you say, a steel turbine wheel that must be the WORST reco ever done on the factory Hitachi unit and makes it every bit as good as the FACTORY turbine

OR

It is stock as a rock and my times and mph can be explained by the use of gas and a SHITLOAD of practice and learning "on the job".

I'll let you all decide but it really is as simple as this: Using gas adds about 9mph to my T.S. taking it from about 107mph to 116-117mph. If I was running that speed through the traps in an LX Torana on slicks, I should be running 10.8 - 11.2.

At the end of the day, I have had more than 80 passes at WSID this year and as per previous posts i've made, my results have gone from less than spectacular to something I'm quite proud of.

Thankyou.

Adrian

Mate, 'someone' who thinks they saw 'something' in a magazine counts for very little. Especially considering the 'someone' I may or may not be referring to. Burgundy R33 GTS-T's are as common as dog-shit and you know it.

4 Door Green GTS-T's aren't however - so if you see one getting chopped on the freeway....well......it's probably you ;)

the thing that gave it away was ur bonnet....im pretty sure no other burgandy gtst has it....its pretty unique in that sense....

quote from Mr Spin Shit "Ive seen that ugly bonnet before....isnt it that whiteline car?"

i replied..."his a mate....beleive it or not his turbo is standard...his ran a 11.9 with gas"

Mr Spin Shit "Bullshit its standard the turbo was sent away to gcg to get rebuilt"

i replied" with what...could it be one of those stage upgrades they do?"

Mr Spin Shit "not quite sure"

I replied " Really?...i dont think his had the turbo off before...could be some interesting news"

:confused:

GO FIGA!

From what I here, GCG do better work than upgrading standard turbos to make them exactly as good as a stock standard one so I'm not sure what he's getting at?!?! Jealousy's a curse, mate. I say fu(k him.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
