Just putting my feeler's out lol

I have an R33 GTS-T that I purchased early this year but am still on my P's :D :D

I'm from Kiama and unfortunately Jamberoo is as far as i get to early on a saturday morning to charge the battery.

So until then i'm seen in a little shiny lancer buzz box haha

look forward to a cruise in october... :P

:action-smiley-069: Sup Fellaz... Own a Black34 Just here in Gong cruising with my mate White33gtr... Any1 of yous wnna go meet n take some piCssss.....Oh yeah so many skyline owners in gong always wave to all owners LOL...

I also from the gong, but I drive a holden torana with a RB25DET in it. I'd love to catch up with fellow members and talk cars. I've sent you a pm.

Hey that was my silver s2 in WAS.

WHI-51L i saw you driving today driving past lights, you were on your way to drive down crown st.

Looked nice and clean Luke, how'd you find dealing with Kon?

I see your car got in after mine and beat me out... :D Bastardo! :D LOL Least yours doesn't crop up a billion issues... :( (My car has done it for 18months... LOL)

Yer dealing with Kon was great, hes a good guy.

haha. what you got done to yours? what problems are you having with it?

Had been doing an RB2530 backyard conversion on it... From 18 months ago now...

The motor has had considerable problems, and just me being slow working on it etc, and getting piping all done.

But got it all running, and late last year blew the head gasket apart. Guy I'd bought the motor from used an RB20 head instead of the RB25... So had to buy all new head and what not...

Got all that on and sorted, car decided to catch fire (Hood lining dropped onto the turbo)

Then I just got the shits with it, took it to Kon, got him to do a heap of flushing of fluids, major tune (Tune was going from a scaled tune from a 25DET with stock turbo to a 30DET with huge turbo and 850cc injectors)

Also getting things like my power steering leak fixed up, all brakes bled in preparation for the track day on Friday, but last Friday the car decided to melt a coil pack.

That's one of many things in a long list of very small setbacks for the last 18 months... LOL

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
