Needs more updates with pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes i know its been awhile, John is doing the final stages on the venturi dump will have pics this week sometime. Also he is in the process of desigining the plunger infront of the turbo!!!! more details to come soon.

The motor builder is looking at drilling the head to relief air locks. Will have full detailed pics on how we will fix this problem.

hahah i love that quote bobby!! some time this year!! heres to hoping u get an early xmas present!! good luck !

Thats at least a realistic goal.

The last car build I started took 3 years to finish! Way too long, as I got so frustrated with how long things were taking I had time to buy an R34 and design an engine upgrade for it!

This is deadset one amazing build... I'm still dumbfounded by the perfection of the turbo manifold. As a Fabricator myself, I learnt early that I would never know as much as the older guys. It's a shame that real fabrication is a dying art... Metalurgists are a dime a dozen. I would trade in everything to have a fraction of John's skills and knowledge... But enough of the tradesman envy.

I can't wait to hear this thing start up once it's complete. You better be posting a video, haha. Money is nothing when it comes to experimention and perfection, and by the looks of it you have succeeded. Keep up the great work! I'll be making sure my eyes are glued on this build.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your comments.

Yes john has the skills, just remember its never to late to excell in fabrication.

Yes you will have full data once the car is up and going ill be posting vids and even data files just to show how its all going to work.

Cheers

Bobby

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
