wow some of u guys are harsh as. I haven't owned a Nissan yet so i cant judge their engines or reliability but everything i read and did before buying my mk3 landed me in camp Toyota. Good luck with the build man. It makes me <3 to see Toyota engines going into other manufacturers cars.

haha too late on the boosting thing.... cool ill put some more in before my next drive. wow i should totally do that build thread i was meaning to do 6months ago. a lot has changed since then. there's heaps of good stuff here as well. pity about the oiling system stuff up.

whats the overfilling for? Cornering g's? or will it overdraw under high rpm? i had my dipstick tube bent on a few different angles to fit when i got the manifold etc done and it pokes into the crank case at a near horizontal angle. so i think its overfull most the time anyway. yeah ive got...

yeah i know the braid is overkill but it looks awesome and i was fairly cashed up at the time so it seemed like a good idea :p i drew a piccy of my system :D oil temp sits around 80-85c during town driving. ~1bar @ idle ~3bar @ 3000rpm goes up to around 4 bar in higher rpm ranges has been using...

Thats an epic volume! Im going a similar direction. already got the permacool block adaptor and -10 speedflow fittings and braid to permacool 2in2out filter head. will get the na stud, thermostat and a larger -10cooler asap along with the moroso 3.3l accumulator and solenoid asap. Ill defiantly...

IJ how was the rest of the oil filter cooler etc system in ur old 7m with the 5mm shim running 10w-60 and similar bearing clearance to mine set up?

okay. well thats good news. Engineer confirmed that the oil pump is shimmed 6mm. Ill start with the 0w-40 that jdub suggested and work my way up. And ill fix up that accumulator/oil cooler issue asap. so accumulator is pretty good to be screwed in anywhere on the filtered side? Oh also i do have...

Hey IJ. Sorry which bit is a bad idea? the positioning of the accumulator or something else :s Just called the engineer. he said that he set bearing clearances to .0025inches which is approaching the .0028 maximum specified in the TSRM

hey i just came up with an idea, not entirely sure if it will work tho. If instead of removing the 7m-gte filter cooler bracket and replacing it with a na filter stud, could I just remove the cooler relief valve and spring and then use that opening for the accumulator. and then run the cooler...

Excellent information. With what ive read over the past few days this all makes perfect sense. The engine does make around 1bar oil pressure at hot idle which is good so that tells me that the oil pressure relief based oil cooler is causing a lot of the pressure issues. it comes up to around the...

actually yeah ur totally right about the oil cooler thing poodles will change to option 1 with the cooler in series with filter and thermostat on that post asap. ive got most those parts already anyways with my relocator etc. oh and sorry i made a mistake its actually a high flow thermostat. not...

went to local autoshop and swapped the bottle of hpr10 i got yesterday for a bottle of semisynthetic valvoline durablend 5w30. it was pretty much the only thing they had that would suit. however i cannot change it untill i get home.... 180km away :s

Hey guys I recently Pmed supracentral this question (big nono, my bad) To which he replied I read the threads that supracentral suggested and i cant believe how wrong i was with oil selection. i don't know what i read or where but i thought i had done my homework. The oils i have used so...

Wow, it looks like ur doing a good job there. everything is so nice and clean. did u replace the knock sensors and oil pressure sender? they look to nice to not be new :p

Awesome welcome guys. Yeah wiseco that sounds great id be up for that. Its cool there is someone else nearby with a turbo A. i mean there would prolly only be like 20 in aus... Max, do u know? Infact i have seen another in Toowoomba. owned by some middle aged guy, I'm pretty sure its fairly...

Thanks tons. Im starting to get excited it should all be complete around Christmas or early jan. umm i bought it off a Russell. M who works for lexus in Sydney, probably central not too sure . I forget the name of the second owner who works in parts though. Like your signature suggests i am also...

Hey guys my name is Tom, I'm a 21yr old male living in Queensland Australia. For some time Ive been trawling through the various supra forums for sometime reading for info and to decide what car i might like to buy (mk3 supra of course :p) and decided that i should sign up at supra mania, as it...
