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

My situation is complicated at the moment, I've got an adapter plate for a 38mm wastegate but i'm starting to think the 38mm gate isn't going to be big enough. So im currently looking around at either another manifold to suit a bigger gate or mod my manifold...or bite the bullet and get the 38mm gate and take the risk.

The lower you want to run the boost the larger you want the wastegate to be. Judging on my mate's setup with the same turbo i will need a bigger gate.

I think the r32 is more lenient with a slight difference as that example was what Dan was running on his gts4 and it was confirmed by willal that this is ok

It still will eventually cause problem with 32's but not as quickly as 33's and 34's as they run a mechanical 10% preload all the time (that is why you can't just pull a fuse in the later models). with the 32 it will still cause the clutches to burn out but the wearing will only occur when the ATESSA is activated, hence why it won't happen as quickly as the later models.

I was watching this thing lastnight on Animal Planet about "Demonic Apes". God it was interesting. This place called Gombi or something where all these Chimpanzee's live, they actually eat more meat than fruit and veg. And there was the leader "Frodo" who was the most violent out of all of them and he actually abducted a baby and mutilated it, tore its skin off its face and all this.

There were scientists saying that he has a common link between him and us, calling it the demonic male syndrome. Where they think that fighting and murder is okay.

They were also showing Frodo attacking other Chimps and they said that he was actually enjoying it because he knew he was inflicting pain on the other chimp.

It was very interesting to watch. Just shows how much we think we know about things, but in reality, we're totally in the dark about it.

+1

And the clutches aren't cheap to buy or fit.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
