yeah however this is less important when theyre both going into the exhaust my understanding was that with it going to atmostphere you get boost creep.

dash differences stock boost guage
yup uk spec read in psi and jspec in hmpg or something which is roughly double hence it reading upto 14. later cars dont even have a boost gauge.

How do you dull the shine on a powder coated object?
exactly that just take off the shine with some wet and dry. unless your fishing in super clear water or very shallow i doubt it will be any where near as bad as you think. its not mirror finsih after all. i have noticed an increase in catch rate since switching to black hooks instead of bare wire colour. but theyre really shiney and the way they waft in the current (chub fishing) really catches the sun in the crystal clear avon.

cheers mark, hopefully il get to this point but atm i want the car back on the road an di cant afford to throw my house deposit or part of it at least on a a new engine and turbos lol. regrettably. get it all healthy then push it through with the usual and hopefully get 350-370 out of it. should be enough on the road.

yes that was the thing i was trying to remember mark. that will be being done. do you know with t25, t28 etc does the main housing vary? i know the rebuild kits are all the same, so it made me wonder. as at some point i plan on pushing through the 400bhp mark and would want to use t28s so obviously if my main body is in great shape as ive just built them it would be a shame to waste them a few years down the line.

just to keep you all updated, the engine is currently out, me and hellraiser have been causally popping the tubs off and a few other useful bits while its out. anyways ive currently got a pair of turbos in 8 millions pieces and ive found the culprit. the passenger side turbo has a worn exhaust seal. allowing oil to pass into the exhaust housing. anyways, tahts going to be rebuilt shortly and the pair of them upgraded to 360 degree trust bearings, to future proof the blighters. ive also discovered a few things while the block is out one being the passenger side manifold was missing two bolts. a pcv had its little restrictor flipped so gas was passing way to freely. anyone got any stainless coil pack brackets?

i think youve just upset the skyline world lol who believe the rb is farrrrrr superoir to the vg (theyre wrong of corse) although it has to be said the rb is very comparable and a junk load easier to work on. maybe look at using the rb to better effect, get to know it. a 400bhp skyline or zed will be quick enough for any road in this country.

Mini Rant
ah haha ive just removed mine with the block out and spent the whole process realising that doing it in the car is worse than i thought it would be.
-
how long is the VG30dett nose to tail?
How on earth do you plan to do that? I can measure my block for you as its currently out but yeah do explain your plan lol. They wont both fit in a z32 bengine bay

-
how long is the VG30dett nose to tail?
have a look at hybrid z the rb conversions been done a few times and i believe the rb box and vg box vary mostly by the bell housing.

Importing/exporting a Zed
v5 is simply the paper ownership doccument. he would need to obviously insure it then drive it into sweeden then jump through their hoops to get it registered and road legal.
