Hi I am trying to obtain some info on turbo's I hope you guys might be able to help me. I own a 1988 nissan 300 zx Z31 import which came out of the factory with a rb 20 nics redtop, I since have replaced with a rb20 silver top , the mods so far I have done are as follows... fitted a inter cooler.. 3'' exhaust.. dump pipe..cat..bov..& a gtr fuel pump.. she goes a lot better now but after 3 months I feel that I'm used to the power improvment & would like to gain extra hp.. this leads me to the next step.. I am considering chiping the ecu ..a diferent Turbo and possibly last change would be injectors and a good dyno tune... what I have been offered as a swap for my standard turbo is a vg30 do you think this is a good idea.. or what turbo would you suggest..as money at the moment is a big factor.. I am confused which turbo as some forums talk about rb25 neos, garrett, hks..t3 t4...so on & so on.. a swap is a cheap way but is it a good choice?? also reguarding the injectors I have heard either rb26 or rx7 series 4..Lastly I obtained a chip for my ecu with cradle which i am going to try it came from a rb20 with similar mods.. hope maybe you guys might have some advise.

yea go the swap man .... as long as u know what your buying ..condition wise.. dont get ripped off.....it'll be slightly laggy.. but with a ECU either chipped or full aftermarket

Dr Drift ecu chipping is about 300bucks i think nowadays....chip it for all your mods in one go ..rather than doing it again after u change turbo

GTR injectors are the go ..plenty of info on the search bar for "GTR injectors into Rb20"

i'm doing similar for my r31 coupe ..redtop eccs ... will have vg30 on 16psi gtr injectors and chipped ecu .. along with FMIC, full exhaust and straight thru cat.

similar mods have seen a ECCS engine make 198rwkw with fmic, exhaust, pod, 16psi vg30turbo, chipped ecu and gtr injectors....

good luck....i love the Z31's ...wish i bought one somedays

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
