Yeh they do, but think I would rarher get a new turbo first

Good plan! As for fabbing up a FFP, there was one just posted recently in the Build Thread section, i think it was the 2 guys with the 32, go have a look and get some feedback from them?

Its a bit of a vicious circle, to get to 300 kw I will need a new turbo, then probably need a hi mount exhaust manifold, then because of that rework the intake pipework. Just have to work out the best order to buy it all in so I can keep adding to the setup as I go.

To get 300kw you will need a turbo that will do the job, to get 300kw you will NOT need a hi mount exhaust manifold... You can just run the setup like many have in the past!

Be nice if I didnt have to, looking at getting a hypergear ATR43 SS2 BUT Stao said 280kw is the max from standard ex manifold and internal gate.

So run a bigger turbo on the standard manifold and external gate? I know the Kando boys etc were doing it in that thread? I am sure you can make 300kw low mounted! AND if you want to go aftermarket manifold you will find mobs like 6Boost and Brae make low mount manifolds too (Look at ANGRYRBGTX build thread)... But once again if you dont want to spend $1000 on an intake plenum then I assume you wont want too on an Exhaust manifold either?

It's reaching the limits of the stock exhaust manifold... On 98 at least... ;)

Not that you would notice 20kw less.

I was waiting for you too chime in ;) Fair enough hehe

Well if I go exhaust manifold I will definately see a big improvement for money spent wheras it may not be so significant or needed to for the plenum to hit my goal of 300kw.

Not saying I wont put a FFP on, just need to prioritize my purchases.

dunno what GTS kid just said but look at the GTR, those clever little engineers at Nissan designed the forward facing plenum and that didn't cause "uneven air distribution" as he described.

I agree don't chop it tho, leave it or get a good greddy copy instead

RB26 and RB25 plenums are totally different, if you see on the RB25 there are guides that channel the air from the side into each cylinder, where as a RB26 doesn't have that.

GTS has a very valid point & reason.

My 2cents, people who chop stock plenums are morons.

Both the ffp and aftermarket exhaust manifold will see you defected instantly the minute the bonnet is popped, why not lean on the stock gear as much as possible, you will get to your goal and still look stock if you choose parts correctly.

fuark that's a sexy engine bay LOL.. too bad that cam cover is now matte black :)

I read on the forums somewhere that they weren't in Qld

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
