I know this thread is old as f*%# but in case anyone was still wondering, the sizes for everything nismo are pretty damn small - be careful when buying off the net...I was just at the nismo factory in yokohama and I tried almost everything on. Im right on 6 foot and 105 kg and almost NOTHING fit me. Hell, even my 70 kg mate just made it into their large jacket and hes usually a small - medium :O

usually from what i've found when buying clothes in Japan, Japanese sizes are 2 below what we have here in Australia. i.e XXL= XL XL=M. Most of their Sizes dont go above XXL ( and you have limited choices).

if your above a XXL in Australia, you can forget about getting clothes anywhere in Japan unless they are tailor made.

Your a bit out on the sizing.

I take a medium in Oz and Us clothing when fully fit (e.g off the grog) and I have to get 3L (LLL) to comfortably fit.

A pair of overalls in that size will turn me into a choir boy or a unic .

Jap sizing goes up to 5L (LLLLL) how do you think the fat boys go. There's a few big boy Japanese about.

Got a couple of Yak mates that aint small in the stature dept and they have to go the big sizes but most common is up to 3L.

I got given a couple of Top Secret T shirts a couple of years ago from manger of Top Secret and they were 3L and were like a girls crop top and ended up given them to my misso's 12 year nephew.

What the Japanese do make big is beer !! Beer in 500ml ice cold mugs..mmmmmmm

Yeah there's plenty of big boy clothes but for some reason the Auto clothes are designed and sized for anorexic midgets !!

Now lets talk about shoe sizes !! That's a completely different nightmare !!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
