Umm no. Idiot. Sorry Lucien :P

Roy - 1 bar though I have no boost controller or gauge so not entirely sure... Ben tells me that it is running 1 bar.

Nice thing is that now it has a big fat midrange, which I hoped and expected Tomei poncam gear to result in.

All mods are:

*Trust dumps / 3.5" exhaust

*Factory airbox with Nismo filter (love that stock look)

*SplitFire coils

*Adj cam wheels / cams

*PowerFC

*Oil cooler

Hi there Ronin....good to see the e-mail notification still works after a few months. Well this weekend I pulled the engine from my GTR to prep it for the new HKS GT-ss turboes and also to see why/where the power has gone. As per my last posts in this thread my GTR with almost identical mods to yours only made 207rwkw on a Dyno Dynamics dyno...weird.

The turboes were fine, only done 35000km since previous owner had them rebuilt with 360 thrusts. No obvious leaks around the manifolds either.

Anyway its sitting on the workshop floor at the mo' and will be stipped down tomorrow and we'll see what we find....keep you posted.

hey marcus, when you say stock turbos, is that rebuilt with steel wheels or are we talking 100,000 odd km old factory originals? I have a set of the Greddy Trust pipes on the way from out buddy Nengun, so I would be stoked to see anything like this power.... cheers!

I will let you all know when I get it all on the GTR

700cc injectors

apexi PFC

split dumps

trust cooler 100mm

HKS dragger exhaust

and steel wheel turbos

all on a 1600km fresh engine!

stripped the engine today and found ..........2 screws loose in the back of the oil pump ....surprise surprise!...Also a degree of blow by past the rings is evident so I guess they have gone soft...this could be costing be a small amount of power I guess....anyways its one of those just in time jobs I think. Could have been a blown engine if I had put those HKS GT-SS turboes on and just ran it like that.....

  • 1 month later...
10-11psi of boost.

stock dumps, upgraded front pipe & exhaust.

Interesting, both cars appear to make the same sort of power (within dyno variance, and small difference between dumps).

How many kms has your car done, and have you had a comp test on it at all?

cheers :D

My engine has done 240,000kms or so. The timing and fuel is very conservative on the tune to look after the old motor.

I haven't done a compression test to check things out yet. I guess I am happy enough that the engine is starting every morning with the number of kms on it. :)

I have a feeling that the dumps are restricting it a little but, overall it's a very nice car to drive in. The power delivery is great and I also have a trust lightweight pulley kit and an electric fan replacing the pulley driven one to sharpen up the engine response a little.

Just curious... I want to put some cams on to increase the torque and mid range.

My Power Mods -

Power FC + HC

Full Exhaust (hi flo cat, split dump, very free flowing exhaust)

Stainless Turbo to AFM Pipe

Shielded Pod Filter

600x300x75 FMIC

12psi

HKS Exhaust cam gear set at 0 degrees

Stock Turbo, stock motor, stock everytyhing else.

Heres my dyno -

209rwkw.jpg

I want to get a set of tomei cams, but the problem is I know nothing about cams...at all.. I know they can make the car idle rough, but that isn't too much of a problem for me. I just want all that torque.

So... does anyone have any educated suggestions?

I also want to accomodate for a bigger turbine later on down the track...

HI THERE guys, got my engine back from the machinists this week, time to put it all back together and put it back in the hole with the new HKS GT-SS turboes :D

will keep y'all posted with the progress and most importantly the power....

Mike

and my trust dumps,GT-SS turbos, and tomei cams are in the car! just have to fit a few more things and we are up and away!!!!

more to follow once I get it all together!

rubs hands with anticipation... hope to see some good results - I want to go GT-SS or 2530's next year :cheers:

yep cams are here! and are on the car!!!! now just finishing off the install, and will be off to bolt on all the other gear shortly....

first stop will be unifilter to make up some pods for the RB20 AFMS and a heat shield

then the fun begins with uncle morgs and I bolting on the other crap to make this monster all work!

full report to follow!

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
