yeah im still thinking about my next step, but my plans were for an aftermarket exhaust manifold and plenum, aftermarket crank and pistons and new valve springs ect. after these mods i would feel more inclind to increse boost.

my gt30 is internally gated for now, i opted for that as i didnt have the extra 1000 at the time for the external, but that will have to be changed also.

i havent considered wmi as yet, ive got the .82 housing too, sounds the same as yours.

ive got pics on my phone of the turbo, hopefully get them onto the computer soon. its low mounted, but is obviously not stock, which makes me very paranoid.

thanks guys, there have been a lot of useful replies given here which have given me plenty to think about. the rb25 turbo is probably sounding the way to go as it seems fairly stockish yet is a definate improvement and may even sneak past regency. Im not looking for much more than 200kw anyways.....

There's no need to drop the int gate if your not having issues with boost creep.

XR6T's are fine with their int gates and pushing 400+rwkw. Stick with the int gate, drop a larger flapper in it if you begin to experience creep if not leave it as is.

You heading down for the Nissan vs Toyota Dyno day this weekend at Boostworx?

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...

      More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
