same i was thinking of saying something the other day but i was like nahhhhhhhhhhh soon someone will be like

"SEVS COMPLIANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR IMPERIAL 74-Z SPEEDER BIKES"

imperialspeed.jpg

but nope..

i have been wanting to know about the progress of the JZS147 crown... because i think i do like them

while we're in a thread that's REALLY just "japanese car discussion"

i'd like to bring everyone's attention to THIS CAR

^^^i cant even front. i'll say it - i REALLY like that celsior.

but there's no denying i would rather have this one..

this would suit me so well.

while we're talking too - i'd just like to mention that it has always bothered me that lexus is in this country.

if they weren't... these cars would be eligable for SEVS compliance. as would be the SC430..

instead. we have lexus in this country - a largely unpopular brand which nobody buys and thus keeps the sales somewhat rare.. SURE.. everyone's buying up the lexus IS but meeeehhhh i'm not really into them

i would LOVE a GS / LS / SC but NO. instead becuase they're such rarely bought cars, their values stay mysteriously high. so i would be paying about 40K for a 10 year old SC430.

interesting fact: - the UZZ40 / SC430 are all coming up for 10 years old in japan. and owners are doing anything to offload them it seems :/ there is SO MANY being sold at auction for quite cheap.

if we were able to import THEM... that would make me BERRY happy man

it has been painted..

that said it is VERY clean for its age.

mine should look very close to that when done.

already doing it. no flared guards on mine though and its marone red with a set of clean 17" vspec wheels (scored them for a contra job off a mate....)

目視点検・走行・その他全てにおいて実走行テストしましたが、あらゆる個所に問題は見られず走行にも全く影響はありませ

日産での点検でも問題無く大変程度の良い車との回答を得ています。

Has the repair from the tip of the frame that you are working for pay or accident rather than the intercooler 34, with and for the repair. The actual driving test to drive in all other visual inspection, where any problem at all affect the travel is not without seeing. I get answers no problem with the car in a very good level of inspection at Nissan.

    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
    • Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.
