the roads are dead set dangerous on their own, horrible is the only word to describe them...they like cement slabs all uneven and called roads....

slightly off topic...i put in about $90 aprox each way in fuel(premium stuff bout 99c/ltr) is that pretty average etc??

not many stone chips, just a couple on the drivers door

Ahh I see you've driven on Parramatta Rd ;)

I used up about $85 on the way there and about $70 on the way back (after the new exhaust was fitted) if that helps.

hey PVA...

what does your blitz pod sound like and how much is it? my pod is wierd.

now for my tale of my f**ked up chassis ;)

while me and my family were holidaying in melbourne we drove around alot... untill the last 4 days we were there my dad noticed some flaping sounds from the rear tyres, when he got out he bent down and noticed that half of the tyre was worn to the belts but the rest of it was full tread...

when we went to get new rear tyres the guy said to have it alligned so we followed his advice... but when the guy started to allign the car he couldent get it to match and was confused about it untill he noticed all the dents and bends on the left hand side of the crossmember :D

when we bought the car we got it inspected by an engineer and he said "small accident damage" but nothing like this! now me and my dad have to pay $1400 for the pannel beating and another $770 for the rear tyres and we need to do it soon because our tyres and getting screwed allredy :)

now my dad is thinking of sueing the engineer but i dont think he will win :D

anyway... thats life :D

caio

hey neoGT, what do u mean when u say ur pod sounds weird?? when i use to have the k&n pod in, it use to make an awesome induction noise, i liked it.

sorry to hear about ur car, sounds like ur engineer didnt do a good job of checking, any damage to the chasis is no good.

Cold Air intake

Blitz NA ECU engine management

Front and Rear Struts

white line Suspension pakages

DBA cross drilled and slotted Rotors

Endless beake pads

Redline engine oil and differential oils

17" ROH wheels YOKOHAMA tires

that's pretty much it!

Turbo would be nice!

If your car has No GO then for RICEY looks :D

cheers

Joe

Hey thanx heaps PVA your car sounds impressive! did all that stuff make much of a difference?

Im hoping to fit a turbo in a year or two so i dont know whether or not i should bother with any mods i spose i can do some things but i dont wanna spend heaps of money only 2 change it all when the turbo is fitted. Suspension package is deffineatly needed now

thanx:)

Not sure if it cones R34 NA... they are RB25DE Neo so I guess it is avaliable I had the list URL.... but lost it . :(

all above came with the car so I am not sure it made any differnce...

but everyone says to me it's pretty fast car for NA and AUTO :)

I dont really care it gets me to places A to B. :)

It will make baby R33 GTR from my R33 GTS-4 :)

R33 GTS4 + RB26DETT + $$$ = Baby GTR

cheers

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
