high flowed with bearings and seals 1200 the only reason i did it was coz my oil seals in my turbo went but yea i got a dual stage boost controller aswell r u sure its the cooler not the fuel pump thats not letteing ur boost go up coz its happened to a few friends of mine the pump goes.

nope fuel pump and injectors r running well! fuel pump cant effect how much boost u run, if the fuel pumps not running well then it will just run the engine lean!

its the cooler cause guy who got same power as me with same mods got a new FMIC put on and got his car dynoed right after me and he got 169kw@wheels at 9psi!!

in reality when u r running 12psi at intake the turbo will be running about 14psi atleast with the pressure drop being through the pissy small stock IC!

INASNT, where did you get your S-AFC tuned and how much? Have you thought about Water/methanol injection? Its half the cost of a FMIC, legal and unless you race around a track to get enough air flow through a big FMIC , works more efficiently on the street. Although a big FMIC does look cool!

Me and Grim were gonna put a water spray kit on the intercooler but in the end its not worth the stuffing around as the stock IC has such a small surface area where the air is cooled its pointless!

I got my s-afc tuned by the guys at ICE PERFORMANCE and it cost round $100.

I didn't mean a IC spray kit, but a true injection system via the intake plenum. No pinging, lower intake temp and more power at lower boost. For eg, A swisho system that Group A rally cars use only costs about $900 fitted against about $1600 for a DECENT fmic!. Less lag too over! as you don't have the big pressure drop of a huge cooler.

$100 sound good for a AFC tweak, will have to get down there!

oh ok, water spray for intake is a very good idea, and seem it work on cars running lots of boost, but no intercooler!

But u need sum sort of controller to control the system properly!

The 1'c i have seen incorporated it with an Autronic SMC ecu system.

Alcohol (isopropyl) injection is better than water(water is good though). The stock ic has plenty of pressure drop BTW, it has fairly poor flow. A modest sized front mount like the trust will increase air flow speed over the stock one (ie: less lag).

Look at it this way..

Summer is on the way.

AUS temps go pretty high in summer.

Just yesterday it was like 30 degrees and it's only going to get higher.

The standard cooler in winter is probably good to work efficiently at 12psi or less.

in summer, that standard cooler isn't going to do shit.

Get a good front mount and you will see an immediate improvement over the stock item.

If you have spent the money on getting a steel wheel on your turbo, then at the moment you won't be able to use that power until you change your standard pissy cooler.

You know the drill...

exhaust, filter, cooler, boost.

don't worry about water/metho injection or whatever...

do the basics first.

Keep an eye out on the forums for intercoolers that come up for sale.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!
