i certainly do have msn.

Ill add you when i get on there, which will be soon.

Also, Craig, unfortunately i do not know this 'hirevn' guy, nor do i have his number, never really heard of him either to be frank.< (insert Lano and Woodley joke there)

luke is used to 11ty billion inch stroker equipped ford v8's. rb's are lacking somewhat by comparison.

ahh so he's used to going fast in a straight line and then not having sufficient braking or handling to do a turn :laugh:

oh how i do love muscle

-D

:laugh:

twink'll love you for that update luke.

Your a silly person.

5th gear, O'Hallerin Hill.....2,500rpm......can you do that without the car stalling? (could do...car currently out of action atm)

i could do it in my mates valiant sure, but why would i want to? 6000 rpm in 3rd sounds so much sexier :laugh:

and if i wanted to drive slowly in a high gear i'd be buying myself a peterbilt lol

Being your mates. Not yours. My car was a nice relaible streeter that could get me from Adelaide to Melbourne on a tank lol.

Lets not fight....I'm just here, well, cause I can lol.

2.5 years owning my gtr as a daily driver baby, and never spun a single bearing :laugh:

sure its my mates, but that simply proves that I didnt buy one, i bought an R instead. comparing apples and oranges dont make a fruit reviewer

how do u like them apples, good will hunting?

hahaha

You have to even think about your bearings?

347 stroker...built 03/04...never missed a beat. As I said...lets not fight, not what I'm here for.

aye but again, apples and oranges, 20 year old engine, no hassles, never missed a beat, didnt require custom building either ;D

i never worry about >my< bearings but you know what they says about old wives tales and rb26's

-D

you don't drive it hard enough to warrant worrying :ninja:

This man speaketh the truth, he should know, drove the 25 within an inch of its life, then just once beyond an inch of its life.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
