My 040 was loud as f**k harts

and then again it was vapourizing fuel to the point were I had to crawl it home from the hills to the bay,so I pulled it out and went back to stock

fuel was so hot in the tank by the time I got it home I could hardly bear putting my hand in there to pull the cradle out

been talking to Adam bout all this

he knows what he needs to do in regards to budget and process

^^^ something was wrong then lol

i wouldn't choose anything besides an 040 personally

and they aren't stupid noisy if you insulate them from the cradle - that's why there is rubber stuff between the pump and cradle with OEM setup

Still confused here lol, I've got a set of injectors sourced, daka 550s need sum plugs for $60 but will cost my less than 400... I'll hunt for a good deal on fuel pump slowly... Doubt I'd notice the pump with my zorst!!

Spoke to hypergear, 960 for the hiflow, said my stock actuator will hate life after 15 psi, and should look at a wastegate controller??? WTF is this? Said he can sort these issues for an extra $200... What's the story here...

And what's this about lines not matching up

with hypergear??? They arnt touching them r they??

under $400 for a set of 550's is a really good find. i'd agree with hypergear about the wastegate actuator not coping too well above 15psi, thats over 3 times the level it was designed for, 5psi. wastegate controller?, maybe they mean to get a new wastegate actuator from them, it make sense for the price. i had to get one for my turbo upgrade and it set me back about $185, so not far off $200.

don't know about the lines though. you'd think if they where taking your turbo and highflowing it, it should bolt back up easy?? is that what hypergear said?

another thing that may be an issue depending on you target power level, is the AFM. if only around the 220kw mark to start with you might get away with leaving it till after everything else is installed. then when you go in for the tune just ask the tuner how close to the stock AFM's limits your getting. then you'll know for sure if it needs to be upgraded.

and just a couple things that happened to me with my upgrade. when installing new injectors i didn't want to split the plenum to get to the fuel rail, you can do the swap without splitting it but there is very limited space to pull the fuel rail back off the injectors. you should be able to get it back just far enough to do the swap though, i found it tricky but doable. i just removed as much of the small bits that are in the way as i could e.g throttle body, fuel lines iacv line etc.

my stock BOV started failing (blowing off during acceleration) at boost pressures of 14-15psi. had to source and aftermarket plumb back. blocking it off was bad, constant stalling and backfiring.

and at the moment i don't have a shift kit for the auto (happeing very soon :D ), my stock auto box doesn't like the extra power during full throttle gear changes. i have to back off to half throttle to let the auto grab the next gear before planting it again, it gets very annoying lol.

Take your wastegate actuator off and take it to bill at Ats,he will cut it and thread it With a fitting on the end,so that's it's completely adjustable

that's what I did and it's 40bucks and takes 10minutes

damn, $240/hr :)

40 bucks for an adjustable wastegate and a free chat with bill for advice and pointers is better than 200bucks for an actuator in my book

bill is the turbo messiah in Adelaide

I rang him to ask about the Rb20 actuators,he said you mite get lucky and get one with a tight spring,and if you get one with a sloppy spring,it's useless and not easily replaceable

so ive ordered a walbro gss342 fuel pump... havnt got it yet ... but can someone quickly run me threw the instalation.

ive spoken to rodders about it and hes keep to give me a hand... it comes with a 32 33 34 mounting bracket aswell :D nb for 118 new!....

im going to look at this constant wire up thingo ive been hearing about... can someone lead me down the right path there

also im looking at z32 afm and ive come across a cop tail plug for the z32... it says its good for a 31 s14 silvias 180 32... is this going to work?? or is there a specific rb25 plug?

im guessing the going rate is around the 200 mark for plug and afm?

You need to

1. try using the search function

2. read the diy in the stagea section and also the skyline section.

You will find things like:

and (for stagea remove spare wheel cover and the floor panel to its right):

(walbro is simpler but you get the idea)

  • 1 month later...

so... just wondering if you guys can think of anything i may be missing bout to get my tune...

255lph walbro fuel pump

HKS 2535 turbo adj actuator

z32 afm

pod with solid intake

3" strait threw zorst

profec b spec 2 EBC

advan fmic

620cc siemens deka injectors

100% plumb back turbosmart Kompact BOV

shift kit

will be tuned with nisstune

there no point doing an exhaust manifold is there??

also going to do a better radiator i think and a bigger trans cooler...

looks like you've got it all sorted. assuming your coilpacks are in good working order i'd just throw in a new set of spark plugs before sending it to get tuned. stock exhaust manifold will be good enough for the turbo you have chosen.

Adam what about Transfilter ,a remote OIL FILTER KIT ,same as Engine Oil set up but Trans oil ,Good luck ,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

is this really a worth mod tho??

think i made a good choise with the turbo... i do a bit of towing and 100% street driving... so nice bit of pick up :banana: and good re sale :ermm:

yeah am going to do that... get my .8 on :).... coil packs are fine at the moment... its not going to change anything if i change them after the tune tho is it?

Well i think so as ANY FILTER ON OIL is a GREAT THING to have,& will help with TOWING,

As there`s no Filter on them,

    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
    • Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
    • Thinking about importing a stagea as a family car since i’m getting married this year, thoughts? Me and my fiance both like stageas, but don’t have any experience with them
