if you only have 3k to your name, why are you spending it on your car, its not gonna help it much. maybe try using the money wisely

Don't presume to know how to best spend my money. I earnt it, and I'll damn well spend it how I please. My GT-R gives me far more enjoyment than most other things so it seems like a good place to spend it. Personally I don't care if its a black hole: my earnings potential of the rest of my life will more than adequately make up for the money I choose to "waste" now.

Moreover, $3000 is hardly worth the effort of investing as even with a high rate of return the initial capital is so low.

Hi GTR032, I just noticed that you had the trust PE2 which from memory is 3 inches, does that restrict you in anyway since you have GTSS's

also were you pulled over for an inspection on parramatta road last month on a friday night?

not that i own a gtr, but basically i shop around and find the cheapest price for that part as i can. FMIC $500 and a $450 piping kit comes to $950 which is a lot better than forking out $1450 for a brand name kit; smart shopping. Why pay more for something that does the same thing for less; that way you can spend your money on other things: :alcoholic

R34 mods so far:

* Turbosmart boost controller $100

* GFP Mach1 BOV $195 (a free custom made adaptor saved me $50)

* RHK FMIC $500

* R33 style Piping kit $450

* Greddy Auto TurboTimer $170

* New Garret T3/T4 450hp Turbo $580 from eBay (bargin :Pimp2: )

still to come:

* custom fabed exhaust system (should save a bit on that).

The ACA build up :crazy:

But yet you spend $200 on a BOV that does nothing better than orig? How is that smart shopping :confused:

Hey,

The PE2 is 3 and a 1/4 inch. I can't say whether it is restricting any flow or not, as thee car is yet to be tuned and run on dyno. Boost is only pretty low aswell at the minute.

nah not me..car has been on the road only about 2 weeks after 4 months off.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
