thats exactly it a navara? we call em hardbodys for some reason. ive thought about a 383 stroker engine but my buddy allready has one done like this with a super charger i wanna blow his doors off with a 600rwhp rb25. and besides his truck is too heat to drive around with a supercharger stickin out of the hood.

i wanna keep it clean sleeper style.and i still cant figure out how to put pictures up id like to show u this truck.

Well mate, I honestly think you'll have to be creative with your exhuast manifold and turbo placement if its Left hand drive. As for looking like a sleeper, well you will need a fair bit of clearance if the turbo has to be moved upwards to miss a steering rack and your dump pipe will have to be made up to go around it also. Im not saying it cant be done, I just hope that your a boilermaker by trade and you shouldn't have to many issues. Then once thats complete, you'll need your mechanical and electrical trades in your back pocket to get her up and running :P

Cheers

i think the truck weighs about 2600kgs. if i put a turbo on the stock engine i could make just as much power as the sr but my engine is shot and i want a six cylinder and the rb25 would be perfect im ordering the engine soon im waiting to hear from japan if i could get a something with about 600whp. i got a little 75shot zex im wondering what would be the best setup if i use the nos.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
