Hi all,

A few guys on here might know me in person or seen me around, I'm Ricardo from Texas originally moved to Aus back in 2013. Searched for about 7 months and bought my 32 GTR and have enjoyed every second of it so far. Its complete bone stock and I've been adding my own touches to it with the hopes of building a 380-430 awkw weekend cruise/track day car. The end goal is to be able to participate in the WTAC club sprint and have some fun. For now im just really enjoying the car for what it is. ( even if its slow as snails right now haha ) I'll attach some photos from when i bought it to its current state. Don't get your hopes up it hasn't changed too drastically haha. I'm also getting into editing videos and mash ups so if you see me out with my gopro strapped to the car say hi!

Basic mods done, oil cooler and filter relocation and changed cold side gaskets to tomei metal gaskets. Replaced Fuel filter, Deleted Hicas from the rear to the front ( using threads in here, thanks!), replaced injectors with new standard injectors, A/C re-gassed, blue tooth radio installed with new 6x9 in the front doors on MDF boards i made, LED tail lights as seen below and Digital triple cluster ( because american and Fahrenheit + PSI haha) car alarm, and last but not least i removed the stock exhaust and put in a 3 in cat-back.

Here are a couple short videos i've slapped together, its also my channel. Feel free to sub.

      Compressor flow comparison table

      By Lithium · Posted

      On the compressor side it looks like the best, if your head setup will support doing 100-110lb/min at 30psi-ish boost.   The G45-1350 compressor looks ideally better if you need closer to 40psi for it, given both the G40 1150 and G42 1200 look like they'll be around the 100lb/min mark at 35psi and dropping from there.   Bear in mind the turbine sides are all different between those three turbos, so that COULD be an influencing factor for how they all perform in the real world as well.   Not sure if you've made a conscious decision to only look at Garrett or not, but at least on paper the XRE7169S matches or beats those other three at everything from 30psi up and just going from wheel size alone likely to be at least as responsive as the G40 1150 and seem to behave closer to G42s in terms of turbine flow.

      @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?

      Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
