1. ARX rims are 18 x 7.5 JJ, +40 offset.

2. I don't have any recommendations for tyres yet but the tyre placard says 225/55 R18 97H, although my ARX has 235/50 R18 101V (these came with it when I bought it). Having said this, when I upgrade my wheels I'll be looking at a larger rolling diameter to hopefully correct the speedo and maybe even improve the fuel economy.

3. In the "M35 - Light Changes" thread M35 - Light Changes recently Duncan (Dunc) posted a photo of the indicator bulb. Basically it is a larger version of the parker (T10). I think they are known as T20 and it should be 21 watts as specified in the handbook. I'm fairly certain the rear bulbs are the same as the front.

Cheers

Hi chaps..

Question - Does anyone know if the VQ25DET turbo to dump gasket is the same as the RB26s? Will install a new system soon and need to know.

Cheers all..

Generally the stock one will go the distance. It is good quality and still using the stock one after turbo change 4.5 years of driving.

+1. I think mine looked perfect when it came out but put it back with a smear or hi temp silicon on both sides just to be sure.

High temp silicone will go hard and brittle on the turbo housing Leon, I only use it if the flange wont seal now.

As there is no real pressure after the turbo the gasket isnt critical, it should be fine even if its cracked. Our turbo outlet gasket is VQ specific and was only on the VQ25det's and VQ30det's, you will need to go through Nissan for that one.

The pre turbo gasket where it bolts to the manifold is a standard T3 gasket and should be replaced whenever the turbo is removed with a good multi layered stainless gasket. Pressures in the manifold can be quite high.

Part number for the turbo gasket is 14445-4P200 in case you need it. For reference it was only used on Stagea (VQ25det) and F50 Cima (VQ30det)

This may help.

I hope not! I'd be royally peed if I have to remove the dump again. But I had a look at the packet & it's temp rated for turbos.

In any case, it was only a smear, more to hold it in place than anything else. It all seems OK till now & been on for a while too - see what happens in the next few years.

i have a spare for each end, but im pretty sure you can buy new ones. if you get stuck let me know, id really rather sell both as a pair or with the spare rack i have

how much u sell the pair for?

    • Thanks heaps. So basically, bare block, very very similar. And cranks are the same
    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer.
