whats it say?

I remember seeing the other day some nismo dump pipes and they were made out of cast... maybe they were nismo, maybe they were mistaken...

This was bound to be asked! I know that bad teeth is nearly traditional in Japan, but what about the women, in general? For those of you who are ex pat aussies, how do women react when you approach them? I gotta hook me up some jap chick...some email sex happening, whats it called, cyber.... Get her to hook me up and shit.

Nismo dump pipes are cast?!?!

Seen these that may interest some of you guys Steel shaft turbo for GTST http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Mf...item=2461129308 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...MEBWA%3AIT&rd=1 HKS roller bearing turbo

I dont have a GTST anymore...

$1400 Per Pair as is or $2800 per pair supplied with brand new core. They are off an R33

Anyone?

sorry for the long ass post

I am afraid I will have to agree to disagree on that. Boost is a major player in damaged pistons. The more boost you run in a car, the more heat it generates. The more heat that is made, the hotter a piston gets and the closer it gets to melting point. This goes for exhaust valves and turbine blades too. If turbine wheels get too hot, they can get to the point of disintergrating. Hence the reason why people are using inconel shafts. They are much lighter and tolerate more heat. Even when you dump fuel into a cast piston motor, you are just delaying the inevitable. How does WRXHOON have melted pistons from detonation??? Ok, if latent heat was not a problem, why would people change to forged pistons? Detonation is something you can easliy aviod with reduced ignition timming or water injection to name a few. They run the forged pistons so they can run MORE boost on pistons that are designed to take MORE heat as the melting point is much higher. You don't hear of people saying "ohh, yeah I have decided on putting forgies in my car because it detonates" as he would kindly get flamed on any forum/pub/track/auto salon? well maybe not the last one...they would be a "ohh and ahh" coming from teh audiance I have been playing around with forged pistons with a mate of mine for about 2 weeks. We had a set of pistons that his customer distroyed and decided to play experiment with them. These were not the factory forged pistons in an RB26 (already done that one) , these were ROSS forged pistons. We (well, I did anyway) put one in the press, smashed one around with a hammer and put one in the lath to see how it machined up. I cant think of anything to do with the last one... On that note, you would be surprised how much load a gudgeon pin will take before it is deemed useless. Brittle can be taken in a few ways on a forged piston. Run lean mixtures and death spiral the engine and they will be "brittle" in a sence and almost flake away instead of melt. Death spiral only happens on race engines running race gas. VP, ELF, METHANOL, AVGAS etc. What happens is the mixture is too lean and too much timming, however you can not tell that it is pinging due to the race fuel. After a hard dyno run then engine idles funny. Then a comp test shows that they are all different. A leak down test shows that the rings are still sealing. This must be what they mean...Why would anyone run a piston that is more suseptable to shattering, breaking ring land and generally being "brittle" etc as a performance upgrade? The engine would shlt itself! So, what WRHOON might want to do is bore the damaged cylinder until it cleans up then see if you can get pistons in the required oversize then bore the rest. Obvoiusly if it is excessive he will need a new block. Getting back to the Stock = forged piston debate, how many RB26DETT engines have you seen running 1.5 -1.7 Bar with stock internals? I have seen many and when done properly they are fine. Keep it away from detonation and lean mixtures and you won't bend rods, you won't break rings and ring lands, and you won't melt the pistons or pop the head gasket. Heck, my car was running 1.6 bar with Nismo N1 turbos (now for sale) 700 cc injectors, nismo fuel pump and Motec M8 and it has done so for the past 3 years without a problem. What cast piston can do this? none, they will melt even with a good tunner keeping it away from det!!!

They came off an R33 however I do believe they will fit other models

Ok, do this. Grab your old pistons and smash them with a hammer. If they crack, it is cast if they dent, they are some type of forging. They do not look forged- same as the STI pistons. Another thing to keepin mind is that what cast piston would hald 24 PSI boost? You often see GTR's running fairly decent boost on stock internals.

If your car has 2 BOV's just pull the vaccume line for the factory one. You would have to run like 30 PSI to get it to open without the vaccume line on. Make sure you plug it with something

nissan Rb26 = forged pistons stock (high silicone) 1.5mm is a badly melted block....

I have a friend selling a 3037S and from what I gather, you would be able to use the stock manifold and exhaust housing for a stealth type of application. -Remove original turbo -Pull off the turbine housing -send both turbo's to the turbo shop for machining (machine stock housing to fit 3037 exhuats wheel) -Enlarge your wastegate at the same time -bolt it all back up -dyno and road tune The end result should be 230 odd rwkw on about 1 bar of boost. You could extrude hone your manifold and exhaust housing to increase flow and A/r and add bigger injectors and pump, then run around 1.3 bar. I would be realistic to expect about 280 -300 rwkw. Anyway he has an ad in the for sale section

Most cars stall when they come back down to idle when if the recirculating part is blocked off.

A mate of mine said he has just sold his shocks on here so I thought I would come on and have a look. They are better used by someone then just sitting around. 5Zigen Coil overs (made by DMS www.dmshocks.com) These have been fitted to the car for 4 years but have not been used for just over a year. Alloy construction and very light. Missing adjuster tools (sorry) No oil leaks. Removed because pregnant wife complained $1250 ono Nismo N1 turbo's suit GTR. Need new core assembly $1400 Sold as is needing rebuild. Or $2800 with new core. Sorry I am firm on the price for the turbo's My email is [email protected] or post for me to reply
