I'll show you in 3wks :banana:

Oh,,,I see,,,so we all have to wait,,,I'm quessing something light and small,,,something new,,,something using fibreglass,,,something not street legal.

Sorry but you can't use that engine to power you down conrod NAKED buddy.

Neil.

Getting there... bit by bit. Modified HKS manifold, came out really well.

Nice work man. The stock HKS welds on those manifolds are horrible. Every one I have come across has cracked in no time.

What turbo is that? What flange did you convert the manifold to?

Edited by Equinox

Thanks mate. Mine was majorly cracked from hitting the screamer pipe on the ground, so had a massive hole in it. It had already been repaired in other spots though, so I'd ay you're spot on with the welds.

The turbo is a HKS T300, so the flange hasn't been converted. It was all part of a kit, I just had the manifold repaired, and the wastegate location braced and moved from the bottom to where it is now.

I've attached a pic of what it looked like when I bought it.

Yeah, it looks to be the weakest link in the chain for sure. I want to run with it, see how it goes and if I'm not happy I'll be moving to a 3071 or 3037. I've got it here so I'd like to see what it can do.

It was previously running 241rwkw's on a stock engine, including stock cams. If it can do 270-280rwkw's with a nice fat spread of torque I'll be happy for the time being.

Alright, Roy wants some pics of where his wheels are doing duty now.... I didn't know of a better place to put them guys sorry!

This is my 32 gts-t in progress for tarmac rallies. They have recently become elligible for the late classic classification competition, and I'm hoping to be able to take the fight up to the RS Porsches and RX7's.

I purchased the car from Melbourne, it was imported under the 15 year rule, and set up for the previous owner by Jimmy Richards. It's pretty basic, really just cage and associated safety gear, suspension, 32 GTR brakes and exhaust.

I've since added a power fc, boost control, new exhaust and a few other bits and pieces. I have a bunch of other stuff to go on, from HICAS remval kit to GTR wing because apparently it's a measurable improvement. We're not allowed to go crazy with mods, but having a strong car that looks after its tyres and can be flogged mercilessly for 6 days is the aim. Hopefully this car gets to that level :)

33GTR brakes and 2-piece rotors, Ferodo 3000 pads all round. I like plenty of brakes :rofl: Note Roy's wheels all grubby n sh*t just to annoy him.

New 3' system (rules now allow free exhaust after turbo, did have a nice 2 1/2" system on it in stainless if anyone needs one?;

Nothin crazy in here, although I was really pleased with the improvemnt after adding the tower shock;

They are your wheels now! :) The white looks great on the black! If it ever comes down south again we will have to swap seats. I have heaps of new gear to go on my car, which i hope mean i can abuse it at the track reliably for 6 hours, lol forget about 6 days :rofl: You will probably love the power of mine compared to yours, but no doubt yours would win out package wise

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
