if you only have 3k to your name, why are you spending it on your car, its not gonna help it much. maybe try using the money wisely

Don't presume to know how to best spend my money. I earnt it, and I'll damn well spend it how I please. My GT-R gives me far more enjoyment than most other things so it seems like a good place to spend it. Personally I don't care if its a black hole: my earnings potential of the rest of my life will more than adequately make up for the money I choose to "waste" now.

Moreover, $3000 is hardly worth the effort of investing as even with a high rate of return the initial capital is so low.

Off topic here.

Hi GTR032, I just noticed that you had the trust PE2 which from memory is 3 inches, does that restrict you in anyway since you have GTSS's

also were you pulled over for an inspection on parramatta road last month on a friday night?

not that i own a gtr, but basically i shop around and find the cheapest price for that part as i can. FMIC $500 and a $450 piping kit comes to $950 which is a lot better than forking out $1450 for a brand name kit; smart shopping. Why pay more for something that does the same thing for less; that way you can spend your money on other things: :alcoholic

R34 mods so far:

* Turbosmart boost controller $100

* GFP Mach1 BOV $195 (a free custom made adaptor saved me $50)

* RHK FMIC $500

* R33 style Piping kit $450

* Greddy Auto TurboTimer $170

* New Garret T3/T4 450hp Turbo $580 from eBay (bargin :Pimp2: )

still to come:

* custom fabed exhaust system (should save a bit on that).

The ACA build up :crazy:

But yet you spend $200 on a BOV that does nothing better than orig? How is that smart shopping :confused:

Hey,

The PE2 is 3 and a 1/4 inch. I can't say whether it is restricting any flow or not, as thee car is yet to be tuned and run on dyno. Boost is only pretty low aswell at the minute.

nah not me..car has been on the road only about 2 weeks after 4 months off.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
