Very productive day again today! Water pump, belts, coilovers, coilpacks, and more importantly, MY COOLER! The fan hits the crossover pipe and ticks like a clock on speed, we didnt have enough time or tools to properly cut all the shit out of the front bar, so it sits 2cm forward and relies on 5 cable ties for support, but i love it.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Yeah we are going to finish it all off next weekend, i dont drive it during the week anyway so it will be fine until then. Kellie earthed my boost solenoid too, couple more pounds, pulls so much harder through 2nd and 3rd now!

hey damien, did you earth it via a switch or did you just earth it so its constant?

interested in doing this boost solenoid trick

was the difference noticeable?

Hey Pete,

My mate had one in his s15. Setting them up takes awhile but once all set they work like a dream.

Other option i would be looking at would be a profec B.

Thanks for the reply Luke.....I already bought it cause I was told it was the best on the market (definitely the dearest).

I didn't realize there were so many features to setup......I suppose your mate set it up himself so at some stage I'll sit down with the instructions & have a go.

On the matter of belts, waterpump & gears, we may have to have a chat about your rates sometime Ryan.......I've got a workshop full of gear but no time to scratch myself lately.

I'll ask my brother about it, cause im sure he wired it all up. he might be willing to help wire yours up or give you some info. I'll ask him and let you know.

edit: spoke to my brother about it. Wiring it up isnt that hard its just setting it up. You basically have to do street driving to get it set up correctly. Its awesome for holding boost, whatever level you set it at it will hold it, but when it comes time to up it more it can be a pain. If you want it at one level i would suggest leaving it at that.

I've got it all wired up Luke but it just needs all the parameters set up properly otherwise a setting for 10psi can boost as high as 18psi if not configured correctly

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.

      Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
