Ill be doing the 100k at the same time probably get a kit from Kudos or something, getting some quotes for -9s as well I think they would be best a lot of people think, as for clutch I'm not sure whats in it.. should I wait for it to go bang or what? lol

And yes I will take you up on that ride offer I think! coming to apple peel tomorrow night? if you can make it that would be sweet :D

Leigh,

I bought my OE Replacment 100k service kit, exhaust manifold gasket + stud kit from Kudos, defintely recommend them.

As for clutch, I'd replace them along with turbos - the less time the R spends in shop, more time you can giggle like girl every time it hits boost.

About Apple Peel meet, I may swing by seeing I'll be living close to the area.

Cheers

Grant

If the car is already in the shop and you can't do the clutch yourself get it done, but otherwise leave it until its stuffed and get your moneys worth out of it. It isn't that hard to change if you have 3 people, two to hold the gearbox and one to locate it. I managed it with just one other person and only axel stands, was a bit of a flamin mongrel trying to bench press the box in but we managed it in about 30 minutes.

Sounds good grant I will see you tonight then hopefully!

As for the clutch I suppose I'm better off doing it at the same time (don't want it to stuff up a drag day or anything) any recommendations or should I be going to the different section on the forum? :banana:

Leigh,

I've got OS Giken Triple plate in mine, I was recommended Nismo Coppermix Twin plate but I picked my OS Giken with pull to push converter kit for a price I couldn't refuse.

Hopefully I'll be able to pop in tonight as it's 5 mins drive from my new house.

Cheers

Only downside to R33 or R34 dumps, is it takes a 18mm O2 sensor thread VS the R32's 12mm O2 sensor thread.. can be tricky to get a bung that makes the sensor part protrude out far enough in the correct position (i've seen pictures of R33/R34 dumps with these bungs where the sensor just isn't far out enough into the exhaust gas flow to be effective)

Finally got the -9s in my hot little hands along with the Garrett actuators. Before I install them will the actuators be up to the task of handling 300rwkw? How do they compare to the HKS ones and should I maybe just buy the HKS ones?

  • 2 months later...

Well I have just been able to exchange my -5's for a pair of -9's. Can someone confirm the part number is correct - 707160-5009S?

I remember my -5's just read 707160-5. I am assuming Garrett has chnaged the numbering system along the way.

does anyone know the reason why -9's do not come with actuators, only as a additional add on option? is it simply just a money grab being the more "popular choice"

Most Garretts like that have a part number with and without actuators. Some ppl want to save as much as possible by using stock actuators.

The 707160-9 is without

The 780371-1 is with

Other than that, it's the same turbo.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if my understanding is coccerect here:

Garret -5's are very similar to hks 2530's? Which have most top end but least responsive?

Garret -9's are very similar to hks gt-ss? Unsure how they compare in terms of response and top end power?

Are garret -7's are similar to hks gt-rs? Least top end but most responsive?

If anyone could clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated...im bloody confused haha.

i am no expert but it goes like this

-5 AKA HKS 2530 - Good top end and good response also in RB26 with build internals and head work / Stroked engine, but for normal RB26 with stock internals / street driven a bit laggy, "this laggyness is not always clearly shown in a Dyno apparently, but noticeable on the road" when compared others. lot of people with -5 street driven and loving it

-7 AKA Nissan R34 N1 - good response and good balance of power for Street driven GTR , but by no means a bragging rights turbo when it comes to numbers

-9 AKA GT-SS - best response and good power for street package, but will run out of puff in the top end, better and new technology than -7 and most recommended for street package with mostly stock internals

-10 AKA GT-RS - big power figures and not so recommended for street GTR without built engine.

I will be getting -9 end of the year, not really interested in any thing else, unless -7 comes up in the forums for really good price

Just my 2C

Also check out single turbo conversion side of the world, if your thinking of GT-RS level of turbos.....

all around, good choice we have in GTR world i think

Cheers mate! That helps a lot.

Dash 5 similar but not the same as a HKS GT2530 , different turbine housing and compressor wheel .

I thought R34 GTR N1 turbos were a unique GT2556R and not an off the shelf GT2560R .

Dash 9 IS a GTSS and they are supplied to HKS without actuators so they can fit their own higher rate ones .

A .

read the dyno threads?

basically nothing below 5000-5500rpm on a 2.6-2.8lt, making 450rwkw+

and that's obviously taking into account the head work needed to support etc.

there is plenty of info in the pages here.

realistically unless you have a big budget 3lt+ motor or just pure drag race car 2.6-2.8lt, then they are a bad choice.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
