Well i service my car every 5000km with Royal Purple 10W40 and ALWAYS warm up my car before i drive and ALWAYS cool it of for 3 min before i turn it off.. so these precautions should maximise turbo life...

I want to stick to BB highflow cause of quality, longer life as well as proven earlier spool which is what makes it more streetable...

im still waiting on Trooper to PM me the specs and price for this new bolt-on Turbo from Garrett...

One more thing guys, you think its work upgrading the stock manifold and cams?? how much increase would they give with a decent high flow?

Cheers

your manifold is fine tho you may get fast spool with a

stainless tuned length job but for the outlay of a good

quality not really worth it i think , looks pretty for a little

while tho, and cams you could get some tomei's good idea

if planing around 260rwkw up ,will give you better response, but being a

hightflow and BB wont be very laggy ,but you will have good mid

to top with cams, you can alsways do cams later idown the track anyway.

thats my 50c. :(

Cheers

Yea thats my exact thought too.. can do the cams later on if needed... my list goes as the following:

- Highflow BB turbo/Garret bolt-on

- Apexi PFC + Tune

- Eboost 2 (or any decent EBC)

- Z32 AFM

- SARD 600cc Injectors

- Tomei Fuel Pump (was considering Walbro 255lt/h)

- Just jap FMIC Kit (painted black)

Anything that im missing?

Cheers

on a related note, would it be safe pushing the stock internals around 260 - 280rw/kw?

Please comment on the parts i have listed above if you guys recommend anything else...

Cheers

many people have made more than 260rwks with the mods u have indicated without having to change internals. When u approach the 300rwks mark, then ud def need to strengthen ur bottom end, ie pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft.

Hey,

I pretty much have these exact mods except 555cc injectors and profec BII and GCG hiflow. was having pinging problems dude to bad fuel, i had to add octane booster to compensate.

Be good to compare though, even though different car blah blah blah.

Think i saw you yesterday going down cowpasture road.. i was in the white R33.

Currently have bout 180rw/kw and aiming for 250+rw/kw

Hahaha yea that was me... were you in the White R32 heading toward cecil hills? hehehe should organise a cruse or just a friendly meet...

Ahhh yes i remember... hehehe was hoping you would give it a squirt to give you a run... ur car seemed stock lol... wat sort of power figures you got at the wheels? and who did your work for you??

Cheers

yeah i like keeping my car looking stock.. catch a few unsuspecting foes. Plus if i get owned hard, i can say yeah my car is stock.. hahaha i would have given it abit but being double demerits and all i had to restrain myself.

Tuned by Unigroup Engineering, 240rwkw on 16psi. gonna take it back when i get some good fuel in there hopefully i can get abit more power.

thanks man, nah my knock sensor would have been flashing at me.. so you would have beaten me.. hhaha. It runs fine when i put V-power racing in it.. but when i put BP ultimate it pings badly.. i drove up to the shell there to get VPR but they were out of stock so i went back to BP to get ultimate, when i pulled out, that's when you saw me.

Gave it a hit on the way home and the light was flashing.. it was tuned on BP ultimate as well.

haven't taken it to wsid yet.. wanna sort out this pinging problem first.

Damn those British and their Petrol :D I always use V-Racing or Vortex... my car seems to dislike Ultimate too

Well ill be getting Adam at JEM to tune my car and i have seen some ANIMAL R33's step off his dyno... so i cant wait to do it all...

Cheers

good luck man, i heard JEM do great things..

Definately keep me up to date with how you go.

Oh i had to get new coilpacks as well as i couldn't boost past 10psi before without misfiring... There's always something!! but the car made 220rwkw on 10psi.. now no misfire but damn fuel problems!!

Definately hook up for cruise.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
