Damo,

What turbos are you talking about?

Yeah the stock turbos can handle it but I just dont trust ceramic ;) plus never know how long they have been on there for and what sort of life they have had??

Chad bought some turbos from America, i think they are 2860's, like over a month ago, still hasn't got them, apparently the company is still waiting on gaskets.

Joel's car came from Ben and Nene, so there's no doubt those turbos have been looked after :) . I agree with not trusting ceramic, but i was under the impression that GTR's could handle about 16psi on stock turbos?

Check the numbers on the turbo..but could be N1 spec or have been steel wheel in standard housing in japan like mine ;)

i havent even really looked at em, had em sitting in a box in my shed for the last month or so lol. i'll go have a look over and google. cheers :)

Hmm might be the same ones I am looking at getting from ;)

Well I would be worried with putting 1bar through ceramic turbos, especially if you dont know the age or the life of them..

I think most only reccomend up to 1bar 14psi on stock turbos but its only really a matter of time :) Not trying to scare you Joel!

See if you can find a magnet and see if it will magnetic (spelling) to teh exhaust wheel..Want to see if it works for you..

haha thats ok jess ;)

i knew making mods to the GTR was going to be costly but i was hoping there would be some things i could do before changing up the turbo lol. by the looks of it i dont have much of a choice lol

so there is no way to change the ceramic wheels out for steel wheels? worth the time and effort?

Damo did Ben buy that gtr direct from nissan 20 year ago ;) no one knows the treatment joel's turbo's have had

sure whilst in Ben's care it's had a good life but thats no indication of anything

im sure for the price Chad is saying Garret australia could of done the same deal

Joel i would say do your support mods first and leave the boost where it is once you get inj. And fuel pump then probably a fuel reg. then get your turbo's and you know your engine wont detonate because you have fuel get coil packs too

haha thats ok jess :)

aww yeah but loads of fun and rewarding..but see if you got turbos first wouldnt need the other mods till later cause will have more boost running through the car and more power straight up..

Yes there is but cost about $1k each..cause I have looked into doing it myself but not not worth it when can buy two new garrets for $2160 delivered.. Whats the place in Adelaide that does turbos on south side...go have a chat and get a price ? I only know the Sydney places ;)

yeh his dad did, then he passed it down to Ben. ;)

well pull the intake pipes off and have a look around, or take it to a mechanic and get him to tell you how good/bad/dead they are.

how many k's has it done Joel? Not that kilometres travelled will relate to condition of the turbo, but i better say it in case Steve does ;)

Well if your gonna get turbos, don't buy them from America ;) . speak to Chad, Madaz and Heslo about turbo upgrades for your GTR

Yeah, just wait till heslo gets his new turbos!! coz about a week after hell get hit by an old gran and his car will be written off by insurance again!! =D

its got a nissmo dash (24xxx) but before that was installed the clock was on 60xxx around there.

but ben said when he bought it his mechanic checked out the turbos and they looked to be in good condition ;)

steve - yeh thems were my thoughts, ill be putting in a 040 this weekend and i was going to do the injector/fuel rail and regulator after. im swapping the spitfire packs out of my GTS-t in to my GTR this weekend as well. should get some good sparks/fuel pressure from that.

Im pretty sure the fuel pump will be shagged because b4 i saw you guys at the villies on sat night i had to change the fuel filter lol. ran the tank near empty and has some fuel issues >.<

nothing like working on your car at 8:30pm in the rain...

Yeah add front pipe and dumps and you will laughing ;)

I agree, if you don’t know the treatment the turbos have had it’s a bit of a risk. Have you checked the front wheels for any play? That’s a good indication of what condition they are in.

I had a Rb20 in my old r31. I was running 14psi through the stock turbo, six months later the turbo is still in good condition.

How is your GTR going Fishy?

Hey Jess,

Sorry i missed you Saturday night a villies!! =( i came by, but it was too late and everyone had left or was leaving

Car is good, just trying to finalise all the upgrades/service/mods im looking to do to it.

Crank collar looks like its going to be WAY too expensive, so its looking like N1 pump + improved pickup (the boostworx mod i was talking about) + sump baffel + Cam Cover Baffle Plate and i already have catch can(s)

then im also looking at suspension upgrade, boost controller, cam gears and 100,000km service. so just a little bit of work on the car =)

dont you just love tax time?? =D

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
