derrrr a few pages back lol nvm... I notice the internal gate is still there??

I really liked the way how the KKRs560 had the center divider grinded out for the internal gate to work. But either way that is not a "real" twin pulse housing. The pulse in the center must have the exact clearance to the turbine wheel as the rest of the turbine housing profile does (20 thou), with the pulse separated from the manifold all times. Realistically it needs two external gates and gets treated as "twin" turbos.

I seen one ( I think it was a Toyota turbo) which got 2x wastegaes in the turbine housing as in one per pulse. It will has to be setup that way for the to work. To get that working the pulse will need to be twisted so it actually faces the dump pipe area, Will need a new casting and etc to get that working. But nothing is impossible.

FINALLY got my car back on the road after about 4 months of no rego due to defect lololol

So good to feel the pull of a G3 again, right now I can't even fathom how it would feel with an updated version or even SS2....

Trade that old dinosaur in for some new technology!

Can't afford the upgrade and retune to be honest...since my 33 got defected for missing front numberplate (lol my fault...) it cost me roughly $2700 to get a roadworthy for it again (not to mention buying another car since it was my daily). I've spent enough on it for now, I'll just wait until I get used to and subsequently bored of this power again, then I'll see where I'm at.

Is that what it costs to clear a defect? man everything here in nsw is a total rip-off lol

lol what do you mean? My defect clearance included engineer's certificate for ALL modifications (~$1500) and fabrication+fitting of child restraint anchoranges (~$850)

That's the biggest load. Sif I'm ever going to be putting kids in my car. Even if I did, I'd take the trouble of getting the anchorages put in then. Why is a vehicle unroadworthy just because it can't carry kids seats? :/

Edited by Hanaldo

So that hole is ok to use? Have thought putting thd baby seat in the car might get some sympathy if I ever get pulled over.

Or they might think I'm being a bad parent putting a kid in a skyline :laugh:

I fail to understand how these cars got complied without getting anchor points fitted. My R32 has 3 of them, and there was no way it was going to pass the import/compliance/rego inspection at Regency without them. That was last century!

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
