Hey all,

Im torn between a Hi-flow or a new HKS GT-RS.

Looking for some personal opinions here from people who have used either of these or have had a chance to compare them.

Looking though some threads ive noticed the GT-RS has a slightly better power curve on the dyno but was wondering does it justify the extra cost for what seems to be a relatively similar peak power to the GCG hi-flow. I'm chasing street response, no lag monster suggestions please! :P

Well all opinions are welcome!

Thanks,

Dragonforce

I"m running the GCG high Flow.

I've been really happy with it. It makes good power and with cams, I've got a pretty fat power curve.

Check out the Dyno graph comparison website in my sig, and have a look at the power curve between my car and some of the GTRS equipped cars.

If I could have my time again, I would probably have gone GTRS or probably even 2835ProS.

At the time of getting my turbo, I'd blown the old one and the fastest way back on the road was a high flow.

Someone here PM'd me just the other day saying they really like their HKS GT2835 Pro S 0.68 A/R on an RB25DET .

The full kit may look expensive but they give you everything to make the turbo fit like all lines a dump pipe etc .

The call was that its very similar to the std pea shooter turbo right down low but comes on reasonably quickly - like a road car turbo should .

This person thought through someone else experience that the 0.87 A/R exhaust housing option cost that nice low-medium range squirt and for the small amount of top end it wasn't worth it on an RB25 .

The guts of it is that the 2835 Pro uses a slightly larger trim version of the same compressor family as the GT-RS uses .

Turbine wise its a little larger and a different family to the GT-RS's one .

Exhaust housing wise the Pro S one is a MUCH better design and with the 2835's turbine will make more power for stuff all difference spool wise .

Like with any change to a turbo engines breathing abilities you HAVE to tune it properly to take full advantage of the upgrade . This kind of thing is a bit beyond what the std computer wants to deal with and dito for the std SMIC .

Sounds like a real nice can live with it everyday road car option to me .

Cheers A .

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
