The T62R weighs nothing compared to a similar turbo from garret. That's why HKS charged the arse out of them when they went of sale. Its 8kgs lighter than the T88-38GK we were originally gonna run.

That is weight, not size. Always thought (still can't see any reason not to think really) that buying a GT4508R with a TiAL SS VBand turbine housing would be basically the same thing?! Changing that housing from the filthy big industrial thing that comes from Garrett is meant to reduce the overall turbo weight by about 33pc apparently.

T88 is a totally different turbo from a totally different manufacturer, glad you didn't go there!

Yeah i'm really glad we never ran with the T88-38GK, the T62R is an awesome turbo still have not found the limit on it yet so looking forward to when it finally peaks out at.

I read that the Tial SS housing were considerably lighter as well, i was going to run there rear housing on my SR20 when i decide what turbo I am running, my exhaust manifold has the 3 Tial V-Band on it. Those big monster Garrets require a massive beefy manifolds to support them other wise the start cracking the old stainless one e.g Trust manifold I am currently running.

You're not taking into consideration the weight of the 6-pot caliper/355mm rotor fronts & 4-pot caliper/320mm rotor rears! ;)

R32 GTRs are A LOT lighter than R34 GTRs... We are unable to run smaller than 20" rims on NITTO due to the massive brakes. We cannot put 20" semis on it either as they simply won't clear the rear guards (not keen on damaging the House of Kolor paint!)

Ive got 380mm alcons sitting behind 18" ame tm02s?

And i just found out my 375 x 36mm alcon rotors on le mans daytona prototype monoblock billet alcon 6pots sit behind 17" TE37's.

355s with 20" rims, you should be able to fit a small child between the caliper and rim.

its another excuse to why it didnt perform after all the hype that they put on it

With all the massive power being made, I think it's time for a 500+kw(wheels) to see what has been tried and tested, and to compare combinations, similar to the 400kw thread.

List as much of your mods as you wish as the more info the better: engine, turbo,cams, boost etc etc

I will start:

RB26 stock block

Apexi SPL V-Max 73.7mm billet crank

Apexi SPL V-Max rods

HKS Step 3 87mm with 22mm pins

Apexi SPL V-Max 290 11.5mm cams

Apexi SPL V-Max Springs, retainers & lifters

Supertech +1mm valves

9.0:1 CR

HKS twin GT3240 + twin gates turbo kit

Trust sump (modified)

External single stage Moroso oil pump (wet)

Apexi SPL V-Max Drag intercooler (150mm)

3" dumps > single 85mm exhaust

Microtech LT12S

3 x 044's + large surge tank

6 x Bosch Indy Blues

Caltex E85

520rwkw on 22psi on a very safe tune, no cam timing, and low rev limit.

Plenty more in it with more tuning, boost, revs and cam timing, but this will do for now.

any more updates on this setup

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
