Same here!! I finally had all my 6 injectors replaced with orginal GTR items. The current ones were cracking (don't know how and why, but apparently this is common now) They're $330 per injector from Japan! It's crazy! I could get a full set of Sard injectors with bigger cc for the same price of 3 original injectors! Problem is, I'd need a aftermarket ecu to run them :D

or a remap? either way, it would end up costing twice as much. did you buy new ones? i thought you would be able to pick up some cheaper ones locally?

heres a pic of my rims too, all cleaned up and safely in aus with me!

VERY nice choice of wheels there! :D

thanks!

for people wondering what they are:

Weds Kranze Cerberus 1. (rare now because the Cerberus 2's are out. the 1's are alot better, the 2's only come in chrome, which is lame!)

18x9.5 and 18x11, +10 all round.

i love them!

hey Cronic... Just priced up a power fc for a R32 GTR for a mate on here for $900 del. If u need one i can put a order in for u to :D

Oh really? Can u put in an order for me also? Will have some tax money that will need spending if a few weeks. Was going to get one off ebay for $1,095. For $900 i can add a few other things to the list of 'things im going to buy with my tax money'.

Only $900? I would say Yes, but my funds are zilch at the mo'. I need my new exhaust before I start on anything else - my baffles inside the cat are wobbling all the time now - they're bound to just come off anyday now and shoot out the back... although, I doubt this could happen.

Turbo-back exhausts on twin turbo's are so expensive! It's like $700 just for the dump pipe!

What is the standard compression for an RB25det?

Did a compression test on a mates car yesterday but i don't know what the factory specs are and i only have silvia/180sx manuals.

Results (psi); (They look very good IMO)

1- 167

2- 168

3- 170

4- 170

5- 169

6- 168

What sort of upgrade is an N1 compared to standard Pete?
More fins in the water pump (2 more from memory)

Close....other way around actually. N1 pumps have less but larger fins. They don't suffer cavitation issues at high rpm and apparently flow better at lower rpm due to the bigger impellar with less fins. :P

Looks pretty good Dale....gotta be happy to be within 2-3 psi :P

Well my car goes in saturday to have sideskirts fitted and front bar fitted and painted! Apparently theres another little white support infront of the reo that has to come off for aftermarket bars, so the front bar will supposedly fit! Will be done before autosalon, yay.

got my car back from smooth garage today from a manual conversion!

so very happy :P

edit: also getting a few more bits and peices done friday. hope to get it all back better then ever by the weekend :P

Where are ya getting it sprayed? I still need to do some touch ups ... ;\ dunno if I'll be able to afford it before autosalon tho

    • 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 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
