Annually or 20,000+ km should be fine but I end up changing it abut every 6 months (10 - 15,000km). I get Nismo filters for $30.

maybe if you own a KIA or something..5000km km is the norm, or if you race..before and then after is good, and with 40+psi a top up in between..lol

i woudn't like to be your engine bearings...lol

cheers

Ok it's not a ? On oil anymore it's what's going in.

Picked up a special conponants standalone ecu along with a OS Triple plate to match my Getrag. Just on the look out for a R34 pedal box and I'm complete for the convert. Oh and the manual centre gear surround for a S2.

Capping power @ 325 until convert, my tuner is trying to convince me to fit the GTX42. Wrong car in my eyes for the 42 so I'll stick with the 35.

On test mind a GTX40 spooled up 750rpm faster than GT35. The GTX40 made the same power @ 0.4 bar less and 50ft/lb more than the GT35. For a big turbo they not too laggy.

lol, f**k fitting a 76mm turbo to a manual stagea....weight and lag, be awful..and slow, especially in this day and age with mid frame 62-67mm turbos that

flow so much air..

cheers

The gtx40 was on a R34gtr and the GT35 was also on R34.

I have said I'm sticking with the GTX35 myself and will make best do with what I have.

The weight issue is something I can work on.

900kg front and 700kg rear axles at the moment,and will be reduced in weight in time. Getting as near to 750 is the end target I'm looking for.

Lag is part of the game, just need to reduce best I can.

Car looking good. Needs an RB30!

I have a GT3540R with a .63AR exhaust for quick pickup (weighs in at 1800kg with driver). Haven't been able to get to the drags yet -hopefully these holidays. Currently at 314AWKW - here is the boost curve:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
