My mate has a single turbo on a stock 32 gtr engine running over 400kw and ran 10.8

I believe there is no difference if your running -5 at 350kw or a single turbo at 350kw

Same shit

If your not driving like a cock, and dont talk to them like a cock... They generally dont give 3/5ths of f*ck all if its a single and will pay more attention to the pod filter (NSW COPS ANYWAY)... i k

You know this is Skylines Australia? Want to bang on how good EVOs are go to their forums. You are bringing nothing to this thread. OP said he wanted an R34. Why question it? Do we question that yo

When your custom manifold and custom single turbo get looked at by the police, and you didn't spend $1000 + on Mod plates and you get a yellow stick for it instead of going sleeper stock look, then all good. Besides ones the OP looked at were cheaper range singles anyway. Not to mention additional costs upon tuning and what not if you were to switch back to twins for a defect..

For circuit and road, definitely low mount twins. But for straight line top end and drags, you can't beat a big single turbo. a 400kw twin -5 setup and a 400kw single 3582 setup are very different. The single turbo give much more punch on boost where as the twins give wider power band

Size of the turbo/s has more to do with a wide or narrow power band than twin vs single configuration

Are people seriously going to argue this single vs twins thing on paper

Too many variables to generalise anything about it

EVOS?? HAHAHA. All GTRS are just SEXY! As for single turbos?? The f**king cars come out twin turbo, keep it twin, single is for tight asses who don't wanna buy two. And if u really want a car? A good one! And u got the cash, I know the man to do it!

I believe the points I've made here are relevant rather than typical "twin is better than single cos there 2 of em brahh". Only two reasons one goes single turbo on a GTR.. that's if the engine went bang or the turbos themselves went bang. I'm no expert with skylines but i'm fairly sure there's a few kits out there direct aftermarket bolt on twins that don't sit up against the rocker cover. Anyway regarding the OP's first question that car is in doubt not worth flying a state away and back to see it, I mean come on man look at it.. swede / coon / tryhard / top bloke ect not to mention cop magnet and a stock motor with the hefty price tag of $43k.. surprised no one on here can call it not worth it compared to some others for another 3-5k?

They would be the most likely reasons on a r34 GTR skyline worth 40k someone would waste $2-3k on manifold / $2k on a turbo and bother with all other on off bits piping/lines ect.. were not talking a $6k GTST to make it from 200hp to 230.. lol. I do forget a lot of this after market stuff is direct bolt on to rb blocks so I guess that's easy in that respect however your still battling the price tag to justify it on a r34? I don't know about you lot but if I was to change a turbo set up from either stock or aftermarket twins to an aftermarket HUGE single setup I would wage costs. Anyway why bother debating this your a "vic club member" you live in Victoria and we have the harshest road laws in the country. Your a moron if you live in a big city and think you won't get pinged in a skyline for a huge defect and be down at Vicroads getting EPA / underbody inspection and restore your rocket to 'stock' get it cleared again $$$ and then put all your go fast bits back on? Lol.

First hand experiences i assure you, The turbo sits so high that i had to cut some of the reo out to close the bonnet :D

Just as reference, a mod plate wont help you if they want to bend you over proper.

Also Twins Eat a Fat one, .. Just to clear that all up :)

price was negotiated with the one in vic to quite a reasonable price - have a few good mechanic friends up in vic who checked the car out for me all looks good - confirmed that the front has not been in an accident after thoroughly looking at it - still thinking of flying up since all seems well drives well and its stock which is what i initially was looking for - if theres some 3k more then point it my way and ill check it out asap !

lol other then that stil enjoying the single v twin discsussion :)

GTR owners who went from twins to single, never go back to twins. GTR owners who prefer twins over single, never driven or been in a single. However I'd love to have a twin high mount TD06 25G setup :)

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
