Thats an awsome results dude, can tell how happy you would be :)

Yes jazza08, I've had the GCG Hiflow for 12 months and was always around the 220-240kw@tw. I always wanted to be at 260-280kw because reading different owners threads and comparing mods, I felt that thats where most guys were aiming. Now with the VG30 rear end 270kw is a breeze and i'm extremely happy with that for a few hundred bucks outlay. If I had have known about the VG30 rear end 12 months ago I would have bought that straight away.

Very good.  Have you got a pic of the turbo before you put it on.  I'm interested to see the physical size of the exhaust housing.

This fits with my theory that an R34 turbo highflowed should make more than an R33 one done the same way.  Compressor sides are the same all round but bigger exhaust housing picks up serious gains.

Hi Bob, I'll try and download the pics now mate

So the comp. cover is still the std. rb25det turbo?

Also, having trouble understanding that dyno graph :Oops: . How could a turbo with a bigger exhaust cover be making more power throughout the whole range? I would have thought the std hiflow would have been making more power a little earlier (@ low rpm), than the VG30 hiflow combo.

Hi guys, I had a dissapointing day yesterday at Oran Park. I retired the car after only 9 laps. The car was unbelievable. Heaps of power everywhere, more than i was used to and it was the first time I have "booted" the thing since it was installed. I have never raced on the OP short circuit before and I needed more time to work it out. I was getting faster and faster the more familiar i was becoming with the newfound power and the track. Seriously, the boost comes on much much stronger than the normal GCG Hiflow. I ran a best time of 50.68.00. I honestly believe given a few more laps i could have gotten down to 48's. Even the 50.68 sec lap I was sidways comming onto the straight and I would have lost time correcting it.Biggest lesson I learnt is to ALWAYS reinstall the manifold heat shield and the turbo heat shield. I ran without and melted some plumbing. Not melted right through but rubber blistering nearest the stock manifold and even a silicon joiner melting where it was in contact with a SS clamp. DUMB MISTAKE. I'm going to replace some pipes with silicon and reinstall the heat shields.

I burnt/split the heater hose on the firewall, so the glycol sprayed over the hot turbo and flashed off. There was far more smoke then fire, but by the time i stripped/cleaned the car to observe the damage it was clear that there had been a lot of heat and enough of a fire to warrant a new loom.:P

I never thought of that issue before. I guess that is why Nissan designed them in the first place. You never stop learning when you start racing. I stuck my hand in down by that area after 3 laps and jessusss it was hot. It's a neverending story, need to get the lip on the rear guards rolled to as the tyres are just touching, more money.

Ian

More money :)...thats why im callin git quits for a year or two. Concentrate on work and getting some money behind me and enjoy some travel. Fingers crossed i might pick up a Sierra while working / travelling:)

Its amazxign once you start racing a car, i realised two thing, how good a job Nissan did, and secondly how so many aftermarket parts only solve half the problem:(

I've said it before...The Skyline...We rock up to anywhere, 3 people in the car, 4 wheels and tyres in the car, 20litre drum of fuel with Toluene mixed, tool box and pump and god knows. Having driven for 4 hours to get there, the car is absolutely loaded to the gunnels. Air Conditioner going Stereo going change the tyres when were there. Opposition turn up with car on trailer, gutted with engines and stuff from all sorts of different origin, and there are only a few cars that are quicker on the track. We always finish in the top 10 overall and I just think that says something for Nissan.....and the Skyline.

Ian

Okay so back on topic.

Hows the car at low revs know? Making any less power?

Do you have a graph from like 2000 rpm upwards?

Can you retain the existing dump pipe?

Dying to find one.

BASS OUT

    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment
