Yeah its the t78-33d with the smallest 17cm exhaust housing, i had a look at it and damn its in good nick. If i can get 1 bar by 4000rpm with cam gears tuned for midrange i should still have a big power band (4000rpm).. When its on i'll get matt spry to try get as much midrange and tourqe as he safely can, should be fun. :ban::pwned:

I was going to get that from him hey,. i was contemplating whacking that turbo instead but i realised its going to be laggy for my set up... so i went ahead with the GT3540.. with the .82 housing..its still a little laggy.. not spooling till 4000rpm.. but when it kicks,.. it kicks on hard.. just waiting for my cams and bigger fuel pump now.

it should be the same with the rb26..but with the right set up..it shouldn't be a problem.. but eitherway.. it will be fun. :rofl:

Interesting you think the GT3540 is laggy, I would have thought it’s too small for a 2jz. We’ve played with a Supra that had a GT40 or GT42, I forget, never the less, far from a lag monster.

Had no issue’s frying his 315 tires on the highway, and all he had was fmic, fuel system, cams and ecu, would have been making boost the same rpm your 3540 seems to be.

Thats prolly me, though my rims dont have white centres. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one with a midnight blue gtr on the coast.. (only %5 of r32 gtr's are midnight blue in colour from the factory..) Thr caps on my rims are alloy in colour, same as the spokes. Easiest way to spot me is i have a www.skylinesaustralia.com sticker the full lenght of the rear windshield up the top, then you'll know its me. :D

Yeah must have had you mixed up with another blue one I've seen in Alex a bit.. Had work rims with white centres.. Stopped to have a perv of yours the other week :D

dynamix: did you buy the t78 off that dude named buttocks with the black silvia with pumped guards? If so, I was contemplating buying it for my 1jz as well. Decided too much work as it is only 1mm larger comp wheel than what I currently have.

yeah,. i am not aiming for big HP,. just for street driving.. so the 3540 is the way to go for me,. i was getting the T04z with the same .82 housing but couldn't find one then..so i settled for the turbo i have now.

depending what size exhause housing the GT40 has..they do spool pretty quick... T78 however would be a different story...they mainly built for Top end power.. close to 5000rpm.

Hey chris,. yeah he bought it off him... i was also comtemplating getting it but decided to stick to my set up now.. and i already had my custom t3 manifold made.

3540 will spool pretty quickly and should be a good streetable turbo. On my old 25 the hks 3037s spooled quickly (it had cams etc) and had decent pull power from around 3500+ rpm....good for fun and with the luxury of a stronger bottom end and decent boost....well lets just say i had 265's and 1st, 2nd and 3rd were pretty fun gears!

What car you driving now? I remember your old 33 when you took it to adam hoyle's and showed her off.

yea i remember, that night was fun....driving home at like 12am on the highway after it'd rained....haha overtaking a truck in 4th gear on boost...I think he was unhappy when I was wheelspinning past him...it was unintentional but i dont think he got the idea. Anyway atm im not driving anything, i dont have a license (thanks to forgetting my seatbelt) lol. So i have no need for one, but when i get it back it will be a toss up on what to get..i dont think it'll be an import though. Not at this time anyway.

Is your GTR rust proofed?

It is one of the first things I did to it. I will be put a cruise control into it when I get the time to.

have you protected your car?

I have found rust on some new cars before.

Thats prolly me, though my rims dont have white centres. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one with a midnight blue gtr on the coast.. (only %5 of r32 gtr's are midnight blue in colour from the factory..)

yeah but you used to have white spoked rims on it,with a polished lip, then u changed rims. i think hes talking about when your car had them on matt.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
