Most people here would recommend the Quaife front diff over the nismo, as its a helical type diff instead of mechanical plates, helps with understeer under load. Also my diff guy doesn't like to install mechanical fronts as too much of the diff housing needs to be ground down to make them fit apparently

Additionally, note that for the gtx turbos, they aren't a bolt in affair, to get mine i needed to find a rear housing to suit and then get a front housing machined. As was mentioned in the first page, you should probably be able to get a turbo shop to do that using tx 2863's into your existing turbo housings. why not 2860's? because you cant machine something to be smaller than it already is.

You mean you'll get more lag and shift the mid range higher up the RPM..

Longer duration cams are not the answer to getting better response or making better mid range.. Yes you will make more torque yes you'll make more power but not where you want it.. and that's nice and early.

I have 272 by 10.8 cams on a 2.6 with -9 turbos and have full boost 21psi by 3800rpm on 98

put some smaller cams in you will get even better response.. and welcome back lol.. you went missing for a while

Check my build thread for very detailed Nismo install instructions including highlighted areas where to grind. It was not significant by any means.

Regarding the clutch diff vs helical...I think the nismo 1.5 instructions references that it is a lightly set clutch style...not crazy deceleration lockup (but I haven't driven mine yet). I'll let you know when I drive it.

I would also have chosen quaife but I would have had to become a dealer in the USA and buy 10 of them to get one!

Also nismo came with the bearings and seals. I don't think other ones do. (Tomei, quaife, etc).

Also don't forget you will be buying / ordering shims. The setup took a bit of time for me. I had to make 2 shims.

I understand there will be lag, but there is acceptable lag and a dyno graph that looks like a cliff face. Nothing and everything for a split second.

Dynos gives u info in one gear and WOT.

On the street you never load up 4th at 2000 rpm at WOT and wait for boost. Real world is different to a dyno.

Also the EFR are literally the fastest responding turbos on the market right now. Geoff at full race made 704whp through the 8374 EFR on a stock bottom 2.6 with lots of headwork on E85 through a cat.

    • Would be good in your car I reckon Johnny. Have seen reports they don't seem to love circuit use and sustained high RPM, but there's so many variables and implementations it's hard to tell fact from fiction.  All that said, is it worth it in this car given how you feel about it? Probs not? 
    • I don't know specifically. I *do* know that it is very likely that historically most/all undertray replacements remove the inner liners and people just run without them. When you are hectic (or serious) enough to really want/need a different undertray, you are probably also running wider, taller or different offset wheels and the guard liners are the first thing that rub (or as I said in the other thread, they blow out at high speeds anyway) Of course, that is before the pricing went nuts on R34s, nowdays it is much more likely people want/expect to retain the liners to protect their overall investment
    • Haven’t had a chance to drive it properly yet. It was rwd and pissing down rain when I drove it home and now it’s in the air with the so I can change the oil. Going to do the  gearbox oil while I’m at it as well, may even do the diffs 
    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.
