Hi Guys,

there's heaps on here about the coppermix twins, but not many reviews on the singles.

I've read the NISMO brochures and know that they're good for around 420ps, but am hoping someone has one in a GTR that can give me a bit of info and their thoughts.

Being a fairly stock car, my 32 putts around with about 280 rwkw on high boost which is rarely used. I'm actually thinking of removing the boost controller all together and just going with the stock solenoid so i think power wise it should be ok.

At the same time though, i want to be sure it'll do the job for years to come, even if i do decide to punish it every know and then. Have read a fair few reviews on them being used in higher power S15's and S14's but am curious about how they go in an AWD

Please no "speak to Jim Berry" comments. I've got one in at the moment and am not happy with it. Just my personal taste.

The twin will be overkill for a stock car, so no point spending the extra k ( or close to)

Cheers

I had one, felt like stock (thought it was stock until pulled it out and got a surprise), took a beating and never had any problems with it. Used it to 262rwkw, never slipped once. You'll be very happy Bobby, go for it. Send a PM to elrodeo666 for buying one - he's a fkn legend and you wont find someone who not only has them cheaper but more importantly he keeps you updated throughout the process from start to finish.

I have to say though, I went from the nismo single to the nismo twin version, didn't regret it at all. While i understand the cost difference, they drive very similar and the twins are so great on a dirty great big launch for when we finally get you on the skidpan ;)

Thanks Guys,

Thanks Alan,

read somewhere that they're quite noisy?

Little bit of extra rattle from the lightweight flywheel, as expected. But nothing extreme.

Mainly on idle and through low RPM range.

You may have heard that in the product warning - http://www.nismo.co....tch/lineup.html

  • The sports clutch discs and light weight flywheels, which are designed and manufactured to increase capacity for higher output and to improve clutch response, may cause the transmission or bearings to make a rumbling noise which is not present when using the original Nissan production parts. Such noise is particularly likely to occur when idling or when accelerating and decelerating at around 2000 rpm. Please be aware that this rumbling is not due to any defect in the parts.

      r34's love to squeal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
