Ok so your saying your S2000 started from 6K and red lined at 9K so you had a 3K window and you drove to those points when you wanted to go quick. (like all S2000's) So whats your points on the GTR,

Or maybe they made the wrong choice in turbos? A tune isn't gunna do "miraculous things" to make turbos come on! Everything around it is responsible. As said before its having a good intake, a good

Nah just the dirty thirties that keep breaking gearboxes

LOL!!!, *sniff sniff sniff* I smell dirty thirty envy :D

Don't worry and keep trying, you may beat one one day, just remember " I think I can I think I can i think I can" :P

Any gearbox behind a engine pumping the better part of 3x the factory out put is already living on borrowed time no matter if it's a 2.6 or 3.0 :/

Hi guys

After more research have decided to get the following.

1. Dump pipe: HPI dumps 76mm or Tomei expreme 68mm, which one is better?

2. Manifold: when I get the dumps installed should I also get exhaust manifolds as well? Again HPI vs Tomei expreme which one?

3. Exhaust: Custom twin 3inch with twin cats into 4 inch or twin 3 inch Y pipe into 3.5 inch off the shelf Tomei?

Any feed back from people who have these similar parts would be much appreciated.

Hpi

Stock manifolds. Port match them if you want. I'm making over 470 rwkw through -5's on stock (although tickled to match the ported exhaust ports and match the turbine housings which have been taken out to gasket size) manifolds. The Tomei ones give you nothing apart from a lighter wallet and a sticker. Nice paper weight though when they crack!

Twin 3 inch into a proper 4 inch.

Put the stock airbox back in.

Play around with cams. Advance intake, retard exhaust.

Report back.

That's really as much as you can do before engine out, increasing capacity and the wallet emptying exercise that comes with turning that corner.

Hi piggaz thanks for the tip for the exhausts, with regards to the airbox are you saying it will lower the lag a bit compared to pods? And at what power level later on do I need to ditch the airbox?

Well as I said in my PM, I'm still running an airbox at 470 rwkw plus.

Unless the pods are boxed off, I can't help but think about the hot air you're supplying the engine for starters. The factory box has an intake from the passenger guard which is a damn healthy size and the front snorkle. I've always wanted to do a back to back between pods and the airbox but I can't see it being a restriction as yet.

Lots of GTRs running 3.5" without issues, but bigger is better, i would also go 4".

Make sure you have enough ground clearance under the rear subframe and chassis if your lowered and get it tucked up tight to the car, nothing worse than dinting and scraping it over speed humps.

I have the system they are describing on my 34 and it is quiter then the 80mm Jap catback that came on the car and I have the rear diffuser fitted without having to modify it :thumbsup:

Though for a 2.6 with -5s 3.5" would be plenty

The snorkel from the airbox to the side gaurd will be blocked, pull it out and remove the cap, airbox v pods will have 2/5ths of F all difference to lag, it's the hard pipe bit that bolts to the turbo that needs modifying, that is all I have done to my 3.0 and I have run up 458kws at all 4 with fancy -10s

While we are on the topic of exhausts. I've got hks gt-ss (-9's) turbos going in atm with hks dumps.

Saw a bargain the other week for a full 4" decat exhaust with tuned length front pipes.

I am considering buying it as I have a 3" bolt on jap system with high flow cat and front pipes but the cat-back has 2.5" restrictions inside I believe.

Obviously it will be noisy but I am afraid it will be a bit crazy on the noise scale. Only looking to push like 330kw later on when I do the other supporting modifications.

I can't decide so looking for some input.

Is it worth getting the 4" now (or at all), or safer to stay with the 3" and upgrade to a 3.5" later when I will be pushing to 330? The car is a daily so legalities are another issue.

just remove the 2.5" restrictions for 330@wheels.

Found this about Nismo inlet pipes which says gives better response and boost pick up.

http://www.r33gt-r.com/2011/10/nismo-air-inlet-piping.html

Has anyone installed the Nismo pipes or a Greddy induction kit to their car, feel any difference?

Modify the twin turbo pipe for $50. Good enough.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
