very decent results with your car there mate.

I have a question and I guess it is more of a technical question though..

with all the talk of skyline turbo's and ceramic wheels dieing over x psi and so forth..

your's at 14psi and still going for god knows how long and according to the mag, more than 100 1/4 passes in that form..

common theory of the ceramic exhaust wheel breakage is too much boost which results in too high exhaust temps which break them.

so with the use of NO2, what effect if any does it have on the exhaust temps?

is this the reason for your turbo still living today?

also, is your NO2 disconnected in someway when outside WSID?

what sort of boost is dialed in during street driving?

thanks and all the best.

Exhaust temps actually go up with Nitrous Oxide usage. Boost spikes to 14psi on the bottle but only very briefly. Over-speeding of the turbine wheel can cause it to delaminate from the shaft - not always JUST heat related.

I don't drive around with the bottle in the car when I'm on the street and when I drive to the track it certainly isn't connected. Theorhetically I should also have the solenoids isolated with blanking jets but that sounds too much like hard work to me :D

Boost for street driving is usually your regulation 8-9psi with the EBC turned off. That's where it lives most all of the time. Off.

Thanks heaps guys, girls and pusseh boys like brett :)

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
