I miss the stock turbo's response sometimes. On the other hand the engine now gets run through a larger rpm range, for better or worse. I could basically run the car under 3000rpm all the time. The hi flow is very much on light duty for what is essentially a stock replacement.

Had a smoke test done on my car today to confirm why it's making a strange hissing sound from the intake side when on boost, and confirmed that the gasket between the top and bottom halves of the intake plenum is leaking. Hopefully once this is sorted, it will also reveal why my power and torque curves flatline at around 5,400rpm and max out at 235rwkW. Should be capable of at least another 30kW with the latest round of mods.

The proper (Turbosmart style) ball valves actually work in a similar way as the electronic controller, and they do a great job of holding boost pressure off the actuator until the desired boost is reached.

I still prefer an electronic controller for the simple fact they have an overboost warning, and the ability to run a 4 or 5 port MAC valve.

Looks good Toby. :)

Thanks Scott

your help and being available to discuss any entry level issues have allowed for a direct and proven modification pathway.this stops money been thrown away several times on the R & D rollacoaster of fortune or fail...

P.S attempting to knock over as many mods at home here so hopefully theres less time spent on your hoist and whilst At your performance Garage.

Maybe then I can bring the whip and junior along to.

I'm not sure this should be in the 'what have you done to your stagea lately' rather than 'what will you be doing to your stagea soon' but I'd prefer not to start a new thread.

n00b alert

Quick question - I've warped my front rotars and will be getting new calipers at the same time. I'm about to get my hands on RDA slotted front rotors 296mm by 30mm for my nm35 - the seller is saying they suit R34 GT-T but I beleive the GT-T came out with 310mm by 30mm and the R34 GT came out with the 296mm.

Should I be asking the wreckers for front GT-T calipers or GT calipers. My knowledge of brake system is zilch to none.

Years ago when I used to come on here, I think I remember people buying the V35 Skyline GT cat-back exhausts as a cheap direct replacement for the NM35s big heavy resonator. Am I remembering correctly? what about the 350z exhaust - that also works but needs a minor mod?

Just sent back front set of RDA brand 296mm (doah!) to change for the correct 310mm to suit a 2nd hand set of R34 GTT callipers ive purchased threw just jap after they measured up to a front cut NM35 they had sitting there apparently straight boltup.RDA Dimple drilled & slotted items via ebay also were a very competitive priced for brand new, a new set of Intima SR street/circuit rated pads will bite into them.

Cheers, okay got my hands on some RDA 310s now. How much were GTT Calipers from justjap?

I paid $320 inc. freight to adelaide.

Im not sure how many sets they had but otherwise i recall gumtree had a front & rear package advertised.

The V35 coupe mid pipe is a direct replacement for the Stagea one...

The 350Z one is basically the same but shorter, efectively by the straight bit fitted to the engine end of the V35 coupe one..

Mine was $120 from Niss4x4, and took about 20 minutes to fit. 2 months later took another 10 minutes to remove the brace thing on the tranmission tunnel, prop shaft catcher thing, as the exhaust was hitting it..

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
