Well the old girl is going in for some major work, new custom stainless 4” vibrant exhaust, new nismo turbos, head gasket and studs, new tune with some bigger injectors will keep updated hopefully tracks opened up again when the car is done. Goes in for paint as well as I’m been collecting weather stripping for the car for about a month now. All new retainers everything gunna be just beauty!

Can anyone confirm that these are legit n1 turbos? They do look all good i just noticed  the compressor side looks nothing like my old n1 turbos. I know they aren’t ceramic and they are in good condition.Just want them to get me by until I get my single setup figured. I’ll be running 1.4 bar with the twins for now.

New turbos fitted with the new greddy down pipe to a brand new custom 4” stainless exhaust! My buddy Rashid is super talented with the tig. We used all vibrant pieces with a vibrant muffler. Super high quality stuff turned out great!

after a good night of hard spirited drving, it was bvious that the new exhaust system brought the temp of the exhaust down by alot. at 1.4 bar now and the nismo injectors are at there limit......clutch slipping, injector duty cycle almost 100 now. time for some new parts!! cars never felt so good. my engine is stock minus the head gasket and seems to handle the power fine minus the clutch.

just wanted to add, if you guys are looking for 4" mufflers with a 4" inlet that is super hi flow this vibrant muffler i got sounds unreal! it is very loud but super deep. ive seen a couple threads and posts on guys looking for mufflers for custom setups with 4" inlet and didnt find much. it was this or the aes mufflers so i chose the vibrant as not many poeple do. just to be different glad i did sounds way better than the hks,tomei, or kakimoto gt1 oz(in my opinion). althought we have no laws down here at all for exhaust so might not be the best setup for places with stricter emission laws etc.

Finally got the exhaust all finished up but ended up finding a bent wastegate bracket on the new turbos hopefully just bending it back solves issue for now. Looks like shipping dropped it.

This is the bent up bracket had a mate right fired up when I saw this. Oh well could be bombs and bullets cars almost back together gunna see how she does at 1.4 bar. Tested the wastegate with some applied air seemed fine.

ya looks even flusher now as I just quickly wrapped some electrical tape around the evc to make it tighter as I didn't have the proper 2 side tape. It now sits totally flush with a proper install. josh's custom parts are unreal he also made me a dual 60mm gauge holder that mounts centre vent ill be posting pics after install.

I've seen the 3D render, he was showing me last night. Looks pretty cool!

ya mate I thought so myself, whatever the material he uses is a way higher quality than OEM parts

Custom gauge pods(centre vent direct clip in) for bnr32. I can get more if needed. Not a cheap part I may add. What good parts aren’t lol.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
