Are the tomei REAL 3 inch dumps? That´s the only one I could find where you can see the custom dump pipes...but it was before the GTX came in.

Series 1 are 72 mm internally.

Series 2 are 68 mm internally.

I have to measure again, I think I used 80mm pipes and bends, so 76mm inside diameter for each turbo until the cat converter, then 88.9x2mm to the back...as the cat is the biggest restriction anyways.

That´s why I used two catalic converters on the GTR, and after the middle box there´s a 114.3x2mm pipe towards backbox + end, as this was the biggest possible diameter between rear axle and LSD :D

I can prove otherwise on my own car. do a bit of clearancing with a die grinder, wrap the dump pipe, done.

Give it 18months and then see.

I killed 2 silicone joiners on a low mount setup /w heat shielding over the course of 2 years simply due to radiant heat.

Sean has certainly done it right the first time. I'd never silicone in that area again.

Spat a bolt out of the turbine housing on the rear turbo, so exhaust leak...

My fault as I only used bolts and washers to attatch the rear housings, as they don't come with attachment hardware.

Permanent fix this time with the correct half retainers from some other turbo's in the shed.

Next time I go on a dyno, I'll put up a sheet.

Yeah do everything myself at home including engine builds lol....

Yep twins are fun, 6th time ever on GTR's now....probably 4-5 times with engine in the car, stubby ratchet ringies are your friend :D

here are some pics of a local newcastle engine builder & his latest project.

gtx snails with a few other goodies...take note of the intake plenum & flux capacitor. absolutely awesome fabrication work!

I can see one of the goodies from here... that sneaky Newcastle fella!

Had a play with a nice GTR with a set of the GTX's (modified -5 front covers) last week we ran out of spark (see dip) @ 460rwkw on E85 @ around 23psi definitely good turbo s even with the hybrid front cover..

What size wheels? 60, 63 or 67's?

Yeah what size? And what sort of response?

Edit: see the graph now

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
