Does anyone know if they produced fake Synapese Synchronix gates? Anyway to decipher if one of them is a fake or not?

The price. I think mine was about $550 for 50mm

If you want to be sure you can buy direct from Synapse Engineering:

Hey all just resurrecting a zombie thread from last year to look for a bit of advice.

I have a split flange t4 manifold for an rb26 and it has provision for two 38mm v-band external wastegates.

I don't want to cheap out on the wastegate (or boost control in general) as I spent a fair bit of money building the motor itself.

So far the only reputable brand that seems to have a suitable wastegate is the TiAL.  I have seen them priced in the AUD$300's.

My questions are:

1) Are there any other reputable brands as an alternative to TiAL that do a 38mm v-band (turbosmart only seem to have flanged items)

2) who is the best priced supplier from whom to get a genuine item in Australia?  I'm a bit wary of ebay as some of the replicas look very convincing.

I have the 40mm turbo smart Vband gates. They aren't that much bigger than the 38mm tials.
I might have mine for sale soon as I just bought another car with a full setup. Still brand new in a box of your looking for some

Will it be possible to fit 40mm onto the 38mm manifold flanges without any issues? I haven't used v-bands before so not really sure how they work.  Don't want to have any sealing issues.

When you say they aren't that much bigger, do you mean the physical dimensions of the thing? Do they have ports for water cooling as well?

Hey mate, not sure if the 40's will fit onto 38 flanges. I'm sure someone else here will know though.

Yes they aren't much bigger in physical size, that was the main reason I bought them. Tial prices are now through the roof so I got the 40mm turbo smarts for a better price.

Bit concerned the max boost pressure appears to be 22psi, am currently running 21 and the motor's been built for a lot more.

      Short shifter r34

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
