And you're staying first quarter next year you'll have it all done?? Yeah Right!!! You won't last, you'll have all this in by xmas won't ya

I'm still finalising a few things but I'm hoping to have up n running this month in time for Xmas Earlier would be better, should there be any other issues afterwards xmas wouldn't be the best time to sort them out lol

Can someone confirm the difference between an R34 4 Door Catback Exhaust and a 2 Door? One workshop tells me that they will be able to supply a second hand jap catback and that it won't matter if it's a 2 door? Or would they just customise it a bit? Oh that's another thing I don't have yet either..a turbo timer. I guess these can be easily added later though.

[dori34]

yeah turbo timers are easy to find for $50 & under.

4dr & 2dr catbacks are the same.

SSS autos in syd confirmed this for me.

and i found out that its the same in R32/R33's as well.

lol narh it will definately be next year, im saving up for PFC now..

let me know how u go with it ndawg.

got my turbosmart ultra gate & screamer today! WOOT!

[N-DAWG]

niiiice!!! Well that clears things up then... I've seen exhausts listed as being for 2 door and others for 4 door specifically, but yeah now that I've got a second confirmation that makes things a bit easier with buying an exhaust now.

Hey Vikz...you still selling your zorst? hehehe

[WIHAGTR]

My non turbo GT-V currently is running a vapour gas system... which I intend to keep, say down the track when i'm off my p's I decide to turbo my skyline, how difficult would it be? Anyone know?

[dori34]

vaper gas?is that like LPG conversion or something.

[dori34]

people, got another question, anyone experience any overheating issues with using the NA radiator??!!!!!!!!!

[Vik]

Nathan, nah man .. dunno what the plans for the zorst are yet .. highly doubt a sale

dori just get an alloy one from just jap lols.

What's the difference between the N/A and GTT radiator? Is there much difference? I would to an extent base a decision on that. If Nissan have used the same radiator then go with that initially.

After doing the conversion, see how it goes with the stock radiator, and then make a decision whether to invest in an aftermarket radiator.

[dori34]

i know R32/R33 GTS/GTST rads were diff

and same with S13 DE & DET.

yep only way to find out is test it out.

cheers

I never had any issues with overheating, to be honest the only time I ever saw the needle move from its normal position was in 38 degree heat in stationary traffic on Smith St after sitting there for 30mins

[WIHAGTR]

vaper gas?is that like LPG conversion or something.

Yeah mate that's exactly it.

[HannibalK1ng]

hey now i hope no one just tells me to read the full 19 pages which i did but wondering....

has anyone got a full list of the parts needed to do a turbo conversion to an rb25de?

gonna do it to my series 2 GTS4 and will make a full topic about with pictures and everything just need the full list of parts first thanks!

[N-DAWG]

Hey man, Page 17 covers the list (required and optional).

I think a step by step with photos will be good, look forward to seeing it

[HannibalK1ng]

thanks heaps man ill make sure once i get the part that ill create a really good topic thanks again

[dori34]

im definately gonna make a step by step with photos of the progress.

this is something ill only be doing once so i wanna have photos for it all..

[666DAN]

Also in this thread are some pics of the top of my engine using stock R33 parts for plumbing, you could get a custom made 90 degree with BOV flange made, that would be prettier Ignore the dirt, it had been sitting at the recovery impound yard for a bit.
