I thought you could make 40 or 50 extra kw with the proS? Nice choice, what did it cost you?

I bought the kit with a damaged turbine so all up it cost me $2300 after fitting a new CHRA but this is also including the dump, intake etc. There were a few niggling things missing like M10 14mm hex nuts with the correct height and correct material and a bit of buggerising around.

Obviously is the same size comp wheel in a different trim so there is some hp in that plus the larger turbine (56mm vs 53mm) should allow it to breath better so I would expect around 30kw extra on the same dyno but hopefully a whisker more everywhere. We will see how it feels on the fat car. Ms Wolv will be annoyed if she doesn't like it as much, so I have plenty riding on how it drives after.

Roof rail replacement kit finally arrived today: WUHOO!!! It's only taken 2 years to get this sorted! Also, Bilstein re-valve kit arrived a couple of days ago: Just need to collect my new daily driver (Hopefully next week), so I can get the Stag sorted...

Where did you get the roof rail replacement kit from, looking to get one for my stag ?

Edited by tougeR33GTST

pulled off my split dump pipe and turned it into a bellmouth, i was starting to get a lot of spikes since turning up the boost. also fitted a Gizzmo MS-IBC last weekend to replace the Jaycar unit.

resprayed my roof rails on the weekend.

used a product called 'bumper black' which i have had a lot of success with before. it is a black paint that has an inbuilt primer in it, and goes on with a textured finish very similar to powder coating. it is fantastic because it dries fast, and because of the textured finish,it hides imperfections very easily. it is also extremely durable. i'd highly reccommend it for anyone who's rails are looking a bit faded or mottly. i'll be doing my wiper arms with it this weekend.

EDIT: quick tip, if you do this, make sure you mask off EVERY part of the car that you don't want this stuff on. it gets airborn and travels for metres and metres. my garage floor was covered in a powdery residue afterwards. i went to mitre10 and bought a few plastic drop sheets from the paint section, cost about 2 bucks each. tape those down with masking tape and dont leave any room for error because this stuff will find it's way in! it was esp important for me as i have a white car.

Pick or ban. Did you do it with the rails on the car?

yep with rails on the car. probably should have made it clear, but the drop sheets were to cover the car, not the garage floor!

can try get pics but proably not going to show all that clearly.

I guess this is the place to put it..

But i got some wheels the other day for my Gtr, but since its engineless at the moment i thought they would go on the stagea for a bit.. however i was expecting them to hang out of the guards alot since my 17x9's do by about 2 inches..

however.... 18x10+20 i am led to believe..

:-)

Only think that isn't Black is the windscreen... :mrt: Go on, paint that black see how you get by. Is it all back together with the new motor?

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
