  1. I was pretty sure that the GT28R is actually called GT2560R by Garrett. This is the turbo the was the factory turbo on S15's and is also know as a T28BB. The GT2860RS is the disco potato and is an upgrade to the GT28R. You GTR boys might call your turbo's by different generic names than us Silvia boys.
  2. I may be way wrong here as I play with smaller 4 cylinder engines that don't run split pulse housings. But when i look at the picture of where the WG piping comes off it looks as though it only comes off only one side if the split collector meaning that the other side is still being fed by 3 cylinders which are ungated?
  3. With a RB25de all you have is lag.
  4. You don't even need a stag motor. The sump on your N/A that houses the front diff will bolt straight up to a RWD DET so just get any DET engine that you can find and swap the sumps over, the bellhousings will also be the same so you have nothing to worry about.
  5. +1 to DE+T being more expensive than DET. If you look around you will be able to find a RB25det for around $1400, then once you sell yours (the head would be sought after buy the RB30det brigade) you will be well on your way to getting the conversion done. If i was you i'd do the mechanical work your self and send it to some one to do the wiring (just because the wiring will be the headache part) but the bolting up stuff will be simple.
  6. Yeah i met you at freedoms when i bought those rotors off you.
  7. 26
  8. i know who you can call to find out; GROWLY Custom Machining Matt; 0447739992 Here's Mine
  9. On a side note "BRING ON THE FOO FIGHTERS" 1.5 HOURS and counting
  10. That a BS rumor. It's a $10,000 fine if you are business and you are caught red handed as it only the maximum fine not the fine in every case. For general public it's more like $500 and once again you would have to be caught with the hammer and chisel in your hand. Cats only last around 7 years or 70,000 km's (new ones might last longer) and then they generally get spat out the back of the pipe after rattling around in the can for months so it would be very hard for them to prove that you did it. Also if you are running rich then they don't last anywhere near that time as the extra fuel burns them out, i don't know how many cats have died on dynos before the tuners get the fueling right, 5 really rich runs and you cat would starting to become a molten mess.
  11. with my custom intercooler piping i made up a template out of $20 poly pipe and fitting from bunnings and then took it to AAA and it cost $140 for them to supply and bend it up out of 2 inch stainless so for 2.5 inch that you are looking at it'll cost less than $200. Make sure that you use the size poly pipe that you intercooler piping is going to be as it makes it easier for them to get the angles right, and also make sure you deal with the bloke that owns the place and not the bloke with the British accent. Every time he has touched anything on my car he has stuffed it, like a week ago i took in one of the pipes to get a mandrel bend put in it to make it fit my new turbo. He said yep he can do it went and put it in the press bender and before i could say anything put a press bend in my piping. He then claimed that it wouldn't flow less than a mandrel bend and it would be fine, which isn't the point. So yes they are great but make sure you get the right person serving you.
  12. ^^^ +1 This is the only thing you should be doing to a commy; http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1jz-gte-vr-commodor...1QQcmdZViewItem
  13. I'll cut and paste for those who don;t want to click;
  14. I saw that one too turning south onto Hampstead Rd from Regency Rd. +1 about the sexiness
  15. I think they have been looking for an idea like this that works for 100's of years..................... What's it called again??????????????? That's right a Perpetual Motion Machine. lol You guy's are going to be Billionaires if you get it to work.... Good Luck with it, just remember to spend every dollar you own on it, because it'll be worth it once it runs.
  16. On one of the old High Octane DVD's they did the conversion as one of there project cars. I don't think they went into too much detail (but they could have as it was 4 years ago when i watched it). I have some pictures some where. EDIT!! Found them;
  17. We will be through my brother business (Growly Custom Machining) but until my car is running (should be next week) they are untested, (not that i expect there to be any problem with any of the parts). Once we have tested them they will be up for sale. EDIT!! This is the best thing we have made for the CA's so far IMO http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...=276138&hl=
  18. when i put a RB26 in it next year i won't be.
  19. The type of skyline fan who owns a 180sx. I do know bayside blue and i even know the paint code is 'TV-2' but i have never actually seen i picture of a whole car in that Midnight Purple III let alone that colour in real life so excuse my ignorance.
  20. Not for my car i haven't even done 1500km on my button clutch. It's for a mates 33 (gotta love have a brother with a business so you can get trade price, lol)
  21. I went to Adelaide Clutch Service yesterday and i saw their R34 GTR, which is painted in that factory purple flip colour, it look Extreme. LOL (pun intended)
  22. Glad you liked it. i don't know where i heard it originally or even if i did hear it?
  23. Just spotted a white R33 4door with it's number plate on the passengers side dash getting a bit drifto-sushi over the o-bahn crossing at the end of Victor Rd.
  24. What gun was that? i was think more .22 caliber than what your talking about, besides it wasn't a serious comment hence the "lol"
  25. Hello, I was up there the other day to get an o-ring for a oil filter bracket i was making. I saw your skyline at the door but didn't know you were a SAU member. Can you give me a price on some S13/180sx front wheel bearings ( i think i know who much they are, last time i was quoted $90). I Know your timing belt tensioner and idler kits were sh#t loads cheaper than Nissan's price. Thanks Dale
