no one has compliance yet. there's a lot of companies running around saying they have the crash data and all the documents etc, but no one has coffed up the plates... so no, you can't import one yet.

meh, not a skyline my arse... you guys do know that the JGTC R34's didn't run RB engines right? they ran VQ's... based on the ones that are now available in the V35s. They're awesome cars in their own right, and they do what they're built to do best... which is to be a family car. Don't forget that the Skyline model was never intended to be the GT car or the Bathurst winner, the first designed Skyline in 1957 was a family car. The sports car model was the Fairlady, and the small car was the Silvia (or Bluebird).

Among other things, when I said Nissan selling their soul, this includes giving away the forced induction. No doubt the VQ series is a well-engineered engine, but that's not the point.

If it's good enough for Opel, Ford, Mazda, Mitsubishi etc to be releasing new models with turbos then why isn't it good enough for Nissan?

Because Renault are f#ckwits & they can suck on my nuts...

and for GODS SAKES people just PUT YOUR TROLLEYS BACK IN THE TROLLEY BAY! ITS NOT THAT HARD! THIS ISN'T AMERICA, you stupid lazy fools.

Hey Racsov500... Fetch my trolley... Chop Chop 'click of fingers * 2 sound fx'. lol j/k i always put'em in the trolley bay.

dont forget mazda have dropped the turbo/s on the 13b too, so both nissan and mazda (and any others im forgetting)  must see some benefit we don't....

Yeh, they get the benefit of a larger target audience with a family car which means they get more money & we get less performance cars. Its all about family cars these days, & all that means is that its all about making the most profit for some prick owner & shareholders.

Yeh and a Turbo Euro Accord too :) But ya see, these cars Turbo 6, & Turbo Euro wouldnt be coming out if the NA ones hadn’t first been out in the market to see how popular they are & bring in some money. Now releasing a turbo model they make even more money with family goers buying the NA models and people with a little more money & or wanting a performance one then they buy the Turbo model. The car companies cant loose this way! More profits, Brilliant.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
