Yeah, that were good turbos, but we changed them for GT3576 analog, i'll post about it below, we have dynoes in St. Petersburg,, but i've never dynoed my car.

Cheers

After one of my 2860s stuffed I made my mind to install single turbo, friend of mine adviced me to try 3576 chinese replica, we brought it, and chinese made downpipe, installed it all, and made Y-type intake.

as we didnt have appropriate ECU we used old unit with mine's chip, AF was a little bit rich. but it was ok.

P.S Interesting red car to the right, what is this ?)

Now might be a good time to get a proper ECU and put it on a dyno to see how it really goes.

It also might be a bit safer once tuned.

Hi, new turbo on it's way to me, ETA is 20 days, so too early to talk about dynoruns.

I have Nistune ECU lyng on the shelf and waiting.

Is Nistune good ECU ? May be I should look for another thing ?

Hi SAU again, i'd been absent for a while - new job devoured my time completely and still doing that, now i understand that this season is lost for me, to the end of september-first decade of october car will be jailed in the garadge, because road conditions will be slightly hard for GTR

now todo list for a winter (Part 1) :

- completely disassemble the car, engine, drivetrain, saloon out

- body overhaul, rust extermination, everything too rusty will be cut and replaced

Here is a question, what is the best technolodgy to get rid of rust, consecution of repaint, materials, paints, primers, what you do, wnen you repainting your baby ?

- oversized oilpump

what is good, Tomei, Grex,HKS or else ?

- replace my old shattered driveshaft

is aluminium driveshaft good idea ?

As always i hope on you knowlege and kindness.

Cheers, Dim.

Hey mate. For rust I think a lot of the hot rodders use POR15 but if you jump on the forums they use anything from fishoil to mineral engine oil. Depends on if you want professional finish or just practical. Good thing about fishoil is that it's thin enough to penetrate the seams and dries thick to create a barrier. If your roads a salted then there is heaps of info on US and UK motoring sites.

Oil pump choice is up to you but more important is the oil control mods that need to be made for the rebuild relevant to the pump you install. Heaps of info on the forum.

Drive shaft...just get a stock one or a few if you are prone to breaking them.

Good luck

There are better options out there but the Nistune will be fine.

Keep us posted mate, loving the winter pics.

Yes, i want the best professional painting i can do.

Can you give me a clue about oil control mods ?

Ha ha oil control and rb engines!!

There is so much discussion on this topic. Best to speak directly to the gurus about this. From what I have read it depends on your application, things to consider are what oil pump you are using, then oil gallery restrictors, sump baffles, catch can setup. But seeing that oil flow and control is so important especially when you start revving them past 7k, I would get my advice from someone who has done their own r&d and have proven setup. Its not something I would be doing without a proven formula. Maybe give an engine builder a call to discuss you application.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
