  1. Thanks, i'll ring them and find out.
  2. Wondering if anyone has one for sale that they no longer require, or know of any for sale or where to get one. A copy of the genuine article would be fine.
  3. Just another update for those interested. I recently replaced the OEM turbos with a set of N1 Turbos, put a hi-flow fuel pump in, fitted a Nismo fuel reg and an EBoost ECB. Also changed the front half of my exhaust to a less restrictive set-up. Had the car tuned at Pulse racing where she achieved 301kw atw. Very happy with the outcome. Car feels very strong. Thanks for all the info i have found on this forum, has helped a lot.
  4. A Quick shot from when i went to Sydney late last year.
  5. So if i was to purchase a pair of N1 turbos, what else would need to be modified to produce around 300kw atw? Would i need to change the fuel set up or cam pulleys or? I don't want to spend any more money than i have to at this stage. Thanks.
  6. Sorry to dig up my old thread, but just thought i would give an update for anyone who was interested. I have fitted a new front exhaust pipe, a set of yellow jackets, power FC and had it tuned. It now puts out 254kw atw @ 1 Bar boost, and has totally transformed it into the car it should be. I have now got the bug and want to go a bit further. I have read quite a lot about other peoples mods, but to be honest, i am just getting confused. I was thinking of replacing the turbos with N1 turbos with the steel wheels, so i can run more boost. Can someone point me in the right direction, or direct me to a link, giving info on what my next mods should be, taking into account what i have done already. I would like to get to around 300kw atw. Thanks for any advice.
  7. Wondering if i put in a Turbosmart Boost controller that i have from a previous car, instead of factory ecu controlled solenoid, if it would build up boost quicker? I will check plug gaps, but from experience, wouldn't the wrong gap cause a miss? So a reset of factory ecu may help cure the problem? Thanks again.
  8. It was apparently complied in 2008. I am hoping a tune will 'wake' it up. Is it possible to just flash the factory ecu, like for example a VE commodore or XR6T?
  9. My evo would've smashed it down low. Although my Evo had exhaust,Cai and tune-216kw atws. It doesn't miss, it comes on boost extremely linear and there is no real shove into the seat. The engine idles smooth, and there are no backfires or flatspots. I watched the boost guage on the display and it seems to stay at around 0.6 bar till around 5,000rpms and then ramps up to just over 1.1bar. Again, watching the guage, the boost rises but slightly fluctuates up and down as it increases. Hard to explain, you can't feel it, so its not rough as such. Its smooth and linear. When it revs higher, it does go quite quick, just the initial acceleration is quite 'doughy'. The guy i got it off noticed the difference in how punchy my Evo was compared to it down low. It just doesn't rev as quick as i think it should. It still goes o.k, and normal people that aren't into turbo cars would probably think it goes o.k, but given my past experience, i am dissapointed in it down low. Being a twin turbo, i was expecting very little lag!? I am located in Wollongong. Again, thanks for any help.
  10. Hi Guys. I have been a member here for a few years, waiting for the time i would purchase a GTR. I finally bought one yesterday, a R34GTR. Its a beautiful car and i love it. It has a HKS exhaust and pod filters fitted, and is apparently stock other than that. The car also seems to have been well looked after and the motor has just been serviced and given a clean bill of health. There is one thing i have noticed though...... I have had STI's in the past, and just came from an EVO 9, my GTR is totally different in it power delivery. It is reaching around 1 bar boost high in the rev range, but compared to my previous turbocharged cars, it boosts up VERY slowly. It is extremely 'gutless' down low. I haven't been in any other stock GTR's so i have nothing to compare it to. I have done numerous searches on both here and other forums, but i can't find any topic which matches what i want to know. Is this SLOW boost build up normal? After reading about the turbos, i don't want the car to have higher boost, I would just like it to build boost a LOT quicker. Is there any way i can achieve this safely without getting a tune done? I plan to get it tuned at a later stage, my bank account has to recover first! Any help would be appreciated greatly.
  11. That photo is awesome, great shot.
