I could save so much if I didn't open it but I think it's worth the safety haha

Haven't heard anything bad about the 1.3mm cometic HG so think I'll stick with that one

FYI.. Matt Wooten makes probably same power as myself and regularly tracks his car too.. he doesn't even have head studs and the motor is still performing (Neo motor).

No need to pop the head and do a headgasket if you're not shooting north of 400kW in my opinion.. and if you get close to that, time to build the rest of the bottom end.

I was thinking of actually asking him a few questions too about his build!

Just wanted mine to be safer if I accrued the extra cash and if I had the patience

are you racing your car?

are you tracking it?

if it's just a streeter with some drag racing just drop in studs and torque them up well and spend the remainder of your cash on hookers, cocaine and molly LOL...jk.. buy a decent radiator, oil cooler and a 1.5/2 way LSD to put the power down.

Will mainly be a weekender, occassional drag and it might see the track once every 2-3 years

Love your other ideas though haha!

But I do plan on getting an ASI rad and China spec cooler as mentioned in my other thread :)

Hi bro. The reps leak better off getting the real deal.. if you go onto golebys site you can get any spring rate you want.. i just changed my 2 bolt wastegate to the 45mm vband style and to what spring rating you need have a chat to ya tuner.. Cheers

How much boost and rpm do you plan on running?

If it's 18-22 psi and 7000rpm don't do anything to the head just get at gt3076r or similar sized turbo with external gate. If you plan on running around 25 plus Padi and around 8000rpm to keep it reliable will cost quite a bit more than just head studs and valve springs

Plan on getting the ATR45 external gate which is equivalent to the 3076 :)

    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
    • Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90掳s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.
    • Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 馃槶
    • Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
