I have been shopping around for a new turbo and decided to fork out my hard earned cash to have my existing turbo hiflowed by sliding performance. That is until I found this place - http://www.otomoto.com.au/kkrturbo.htm

Has anyone bought one of these turbos before or heard anything about them? It says they have been tested by Croydon so they must be alright. Any comments? :P

Yep, I have had good results with the slide turbo. The person you really need to talk to is simon ae86 as he has had both of these turbos. If you look for a thread in the forced induction section it will tell you all about his and my install and how it performs. I think simon said the slide turbo has a lot better top end with the same spool time.

I was deciding between the 2 you are looking at and chose the slide for it's bolt on drive away with no new dump pipe or fabricating anything.

It is putting out 230rwkw on my rb20 at 17psi and is rated at 19psi so possibly 245rwkw to be had on the o'l 20 and has serious kick in the pants power. on a RB25 it is rated at 250rwkw but may even put out a bit more.

Is is going on a RB20 or 25?

Looking at it you will be paying $829 + $150 for a dump pipe and then you will need an elbow fabricated that will cost $50 to $100 so you are looking at $1029 and that is a fair bit more than the slide.

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
