Ah just say this model skyline was the Bathurst "SPECIAL RACE ADDITION" and it was released with a top mount turbo officer. Get a little tag made up saying genuine Nissan on the turbo and manifold somewhere and bobs your uncle. Lol maybe. ;)

And seriously what can they say to that? Nothing I would have thought. How can they prove it's not?

They don't need to. They just send you for an emissions test/what ever else the hell they want you to do.

If your on jungle juice would you pass with a 400 cell cat in place? And if you go through the hassle once and show following offices your EPA emissions test has past certificate perhaps one would be ok? Added things if your not getting up it and driving hard around town you should be right. I also love screamers myself but on the street having it plumbed in is the go for noise level reduction. But what ever you do they'll do one better at times. Other thing would be have a tune in your ecu to switch maps to a EPA safe tune perhaps? I dunno lol just trying to hope when I put my new top mount kit on I wont put off the road. Oh well I'm leaning towards a hta gt3582r at the moment with a twin scroll ass on it. Unless stao can make me something close to it's performance.

could be stupid question....

would there be a twin low-mount option for an RB26 with these HTA turbos?

I dont think its a stupid question... It was asked a page back i think and its not an off the shelf option as far as i know!

There is an option, I'm just not certain how good it would be - Owen Developments in the UK do a few custom FP based combos which FP themselves don't release to address customer requirements in the UK: http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/article/76/NEW_Skyline_R33-34_twin_GT2668_HTA_turbos/

They've also sold HTA4094R turbos and if I remember a couple of other interesting HTA based units which I am fascinated that FP themselves don't market.

Nice find...

As always :yes:

wonder if there are any results floating around at gtr.co.uk - will have to have a dig

1100 pounds though... each. yikes. less 20% but still...

in the old money... would these be classified as bigger than 2530/-5's?

There is a guy (mentioned this stuff recently in this thread) on the UK forums that installed a pair on his and from memory it had no surge issues or anything, but his engine failed before he managed to get a full tune into it :( If the compressor doesn't choke on the turbine or smaller compressor cover (not convinced it won't) then I'd peg it to be capable of outflowing -10s and spool somewhere between the -5s and -10s. Hard to say though

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • 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... 😛
