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

    • 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 😂
