Well, after a couple of months of sweating the ID inspection, I got the 34 with NSW plates through Sturt Police today.

I thought that it would be referred to Regency for further inspection but it didn't happen. One of the boxes on the inspection sheet asks if further inspection is necessary but he ticked the 'NO' box......whew. :thumbsup:

Obviously coilovers, lowered slightly, airpods, wheelspacers, Kakimoto Dual N1 exhaust & BBS wheels with 265 rubber are all OK as long as they're within spec and all mounted well.

Now I can finally bolt on all the stuff that I've been acumulating for a few months.

Thanks Cara

hey congrats man!

post up some pics with the new goodies??

Thanks, I'll try.........but its things like bigger garrett turbos, cams, power fc, hks elec boost controller, injectors, fuel pump rail & reg, bigger tube & fin fmic, different air pods, improve existing exhaust with split dump pipes etc, better clutch and a few other hidden things.

Most of that stuff you don't realy see unfortuantely.

what garret turbos u thinking?

Wanted to stay low mount so I've already bought a pair of GT2860R 707160 -5.

No point in going top mounts or big single unless it sees the track or drag strip more than the street.

*cough* and some 32s * cough*

*cough* and some stageas *cough*...lol ;)

Seriously though, the 2860rs -5 are basically the same size as the standard turbos from the research ive done recently, just with steel wheels.

Ive just fitted the 2860rs-7 to my 260rs, which in my case was the biggest i could go and keep them low mount cos theres not alot of room under there! The next up from there is either a -9 or -10 which the exhaust housings were too large to be mounted, but also they dont come on boost til very late either so it doesnt make it very streetable as a daily.

Not gospel of course, just what i had found out doing some poking around, so might be something you want to check! :(

i think you got the sizes mixed up

2860-5 (2530's) isnt same size as the standard turbos, and -5 is bigger than -7

Had me worried there for a minute :) . Just did some research and found the standard turbos have a .53 housing (actually stamped on the turbos) where the -5 has a .60 & .64 respectively. The -10 has a .64 with an optional .86 housing (too laggy for street and too narrow power band).

Also found out something interesting.....all new GT28 housings out of Garrett now are stamped 2560R but specs are still the same as 2860R....this straight from their website:

For those familiar with our product range, this means that the unit formerly known as "the GT28R" (part number 466541-1) is now in the GT25R family. More specifically, it is now a GT2560R model.

Wow, I can't believe it got through with wheel spacers - it really was your lucky day.

Sounds like your plans are for a nice tough real streetable GTR.

Surprised me thats for sure......probably because the wheels are just inside the guards that he didn't look or care about it.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
