I wish it was, but checked that previously. By following the trail it could only be dripping down from the valve gasket (preferred) or coming from on top of the turbo. Only seems to leak after "proper' drive, not idling in driveway, so oil under pressure by the looks of it.

The oil line to the turbo could be split but I think you are right, the washers for the banjo may need to be replaced. :(

I may be driving up to Sydney this week, want me to fix it for you? Swap you for a cruise install. lol.

Took her out for the first half decent drive with it, to get acquainted and such.

Very happy with it. I did find it a big laggy for an NA so Im thinking Im going to have to put a kit in the gearbox.

The guy I got it of said it was a Four wheel, turns out its rear wheel.

Haha, I would be tempted to drive the 8hrs to Sydney if you were serious. But I know you have that cruise mostly sorted now, so I have nothing to trade (except some folding plastic).

bought some new upgrades over the weekend, dual stage turbosmart boost controller, cooling pro FMIC kit, 550cc bosch injectors, walbro gss342 pump.hopefully my r33 will sell pretty quick so i can buy a hypergear tr43, lowmount manifold, and nistune to get it all sorted before sau nationals this year :D

dirty great box of Greddy goodness arrived today: that would be my suction kit... :)

waiting on Z32 afms which are on their way, and Nismo engine mounts: excitement!

Oh, and PWR ended up being a lousy bunch of not very nice people: The best they offered was a brand new radiator to my previous spec (inbuilt fluid coolers, triple cross-flow, etc) at a discounted rate.

Given that I would only expect it to last 18-24 months, pretty sure I'll pass, and buy a Jap name-brand unit (thinking Blitz), and run external oil and trans coolers... More than mildly disappointed at the outcome, but what can you do?

I will NEVER recommend their product to anyone!

bought some yellow jacket coil packs off ebay the other day fitted them had a missing issue then upgraded spark plugs (which I should have done in the first place) and now she runs a million bucks :)

Cruising on the highway and noticed the car was surging, gf pointed out that the torque split gauge was nearly on 10

Looks like I'm up for new rear tyres to match the new fronts :-(

Hi guys! I'm new to this site. I've got myself a nice 260RS in 2010. Since then I've had HKS hard piping put in, 3" turbo back exhaust, Nismo clutch, rebuilt gearbox, spitfire coils and a haltech ecu installed and tuned. It came with Tien coilovers. Now I'm looking to do a single turbo conversion in a few months just to bring spool up a lil.

What did you decide on in the end?

Still haven't decided; tossing up a 2860RS or 2871 core.

Exhaust side of both is identical, but the compressor exducer dimensions are 11mm different, so I'm not 100% sure.

Also the 2871 has thee trim options, 48, 52 and 56. On my SR I've had both the 48 and 56. I noticed no difference in boost response but did notice the 56 had more power up high.

On my SR it was making 18psi by 3800rpm with .64 exh so we could assume the vq25 would deliver 18psi around 3000-3200? Check with brad what his response is like as he uses a 2871 on his M35 but I don't know what trim version. I'd assume 52 trim as this is the most common version being a hks gtrs spec.

If your after closer to factory response I'd go the 2860 wheel, I will when mine fails but hopefully a while away still.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
