Thanks disco, that catalogue is great.

One question, I was looking at now getting the GT35R instead of the GT30R, but the catalogue for the GT35R lists displacement of 3L-4L. Does that mean the GT35R will be too big for my RB25DET?

Difficult to say , depends on the power curve you want and what you use the car for .

First off you need to choose an exhaust manifold and style of wastegate as this will dictate mounting flange size and integral/external gate .

If you used a GT30R in large turbine housing form (1.06ARR) its fair to say it'll have a bit more response than its larger brother . You also have a .82 housing to come back to if its boost threshold is a little high .

The GT35R is getting a bit more serious but if its airflow is what you need use it . I would start with the .82 exhaust housing if you do this , there is a .63 housing for it but the penalty for waking it up too early is compressor surge .

I've not had time to research it but I think there are a couple of different trims for the 82mm GT40 compressor , the GT35R uses the largest 56 trim size . The HKS version of the GT3040 uses a 50 trim version of it and the BA XR6's GT3540 I'm not sure . The last one uses a .50 ARR T04E compressor cover with the smallest diametre snout on it which I'm not sure a 56 trim would fit in . If anyone has one of these XR6T turbos could you tell me the diametre of its inlet in mm so I can work out the approximate trim size .

A small trim compressor GT35R would come on a little earlier and still not be short of breath at the top end again depending on what its used for .

Cheers A .

Thanks disco...

I dont want something that will hit with a bang too early and light it up all over the place. More of a strong surge that keeps you pushed back in the seats with a huge grin.

Maybe I will have to go down to the GT30R. Dont want to be waiting all day for the thing to come on boost. I have read on some threads that cams can bring boost on earlier. I have HKS 256 on INT and 264 EXH ready to put in at the same time. Would this help to boost the 35R a bit sooner?

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
