sounds like a train - wooosh wooosh...under light throttle & low rpm

i.e. 60km/h in 4th, floor the accelerator & there it is

That surprises me Marko. I thought with the 3 litre all that rubbish goes away? Mine has a ever ever so slight wooosh..... but nothing like some of the UK boys describe. I have a funny feeling when we stick mine on it will go away!

it is very minimal & only under 3krpm when the engine is under load in a high gear (whichis hardly ever) - i really need to provoke it to make it happen

will be interesting to see the bak2back comparison though paul - cant wait! lets call it a "myth buster"

fwiw....a nismo engineer told me years ago this was a must do mod...will be interested to see the results.

duncan - your engineer is right...we ran my car with the modded pipe & it took out the surge, both paul (piggaz) & i were surprised! it works :thanks:

good to hear this mod actually works, is there any other causes to the choo choo issue? like tune?

mine is doing it with N1 turbo's and stock rubber inlets. does it at 3750 RPM every time but only in 4th and 5th .

sorry to hijack

have your actuators calibrated so they both crack open at the same boost level - this will cause turbo surge

good tip that, my gt-ss which should be too small to cause surge is showing similar signs, will get the actuators looked at

the mod itself is very popular on uk site, also supposed to lower temp for the rear turbo as it isnt working as hard, how much did the mod end up costing btw? i have a spare pipe that i wouldnt mind getting modded

Marko bought the modded pipe off me as I dont need it anymore. I am putting a duel entry ARC cooler in the nose of mine. I am sure any alloy fabricator could do it for you.

i had 2 members from the forum quote me $150 for the mod

i have a spare pipe i could prob do on an exchange basis, im at work tomorrow doin personal stuff if i find it in the morning before i head in i'll take it with me and see how i go, prob do it for 80-100 including freight back to you

I did mine last year, can't really say how much difference it made because it went on at the same time as a whole heap of other upgrades.

Can i ask your opinions on whether its worth Going a Greddy Y Pipe over the splitter ?

The $$ is heaps more then the splitter job but is it worth it??

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
