Liquid Gold


Pic 1: Liquid gold

Damn ..... This box of stuff costs me a fortune. Liquid gold it really is. You can see some bottles of Torco SR-1 5W-40 engine oil, Redline Lightweight Shockproof transmission fluid, Nissan long life coolant and a generic fully synthetic engine oil for flushing purposes.

Dented my bank account a fair bit here. :(

NZ Police pursuits a Skyline

Check out this epic video of the New Zealand Police giving chase to a 4dr R33GTS-t. In what probably is the handiwork of a rookie police, instead of going for the Skyline, he busted the tyres off his own comrade's police car. Hahahaha :D

Oh, I think the police car needs a new set of tyres too. It's totally devoid of any threads. LOL :D

ER34 is now heartless!!


Pic 1: Where did it go??

Hmmm.....where has the engine and transmission gone to? Gonna de-mod it to limit it's speed to 102mph as per my tee? Hehehe

Or perhaps gonna use man-power? That's right, gonna power it with my 2 feet just like back to Flintstones days. :P

Sard 265 per litre Fuel Pump


Pic 1: SARD Fuel Pump

How many of you guys knew what SARD stands for? I bet most if not all would never have guess that SARD actually is an
abbreviation for
Sigma Automotive Racing Development. Now that is something new eh??

Anyway, back to the purpose of this blog entry .......

Fueling and power comes hand in hand; well of course with the exception of those eco friendly cars. Gasoline powered cars running bigger capacity injectors or additional injectors, especially coupled with bigger turbo or higher boost requires good and steady fuel supply. This is where the fuel pump comes in play.

SARD made a myriad of fuel pump catering to different needs or state of tune. They have a 130 l/h, 165 l/h, 265 l/h, 280 l/h and many more different varients.
All of them are high performance in-tank type pump that provides steady fuel pressure and keeps supplying enough fuel in any engine rpm. The one I have in my hand is the 265 litres per hour SARD Fuel Pump. Well, although I don't have upgraded injectors (yet!), I reckon I'll still need the SARD fuel pump to supply the excess fuel demanded by the ER34 when my upgrade project starts happening.

So yeah, here ya go with some pictures. :)

A Convertible BNR34?


Pic 1: Nissan Skyline GT-R Convertible?

Nope. This is not a prototype off Nissan when the engineers have had too much of a drink but rather is pretty good photoshop of how the BNR34 would looked like if it was offered in a convertible.


I think the photo was done up pretty well except that the seats are not actual BNR34 items. Other than that, where the hell is the driver?!? Hahaha

Structural rigidity would have been a huge issue if this car was put into production. But anyway, would you want to own one if it's offered for sale? :)

HKS GT-RS turbine


Pic 1: HKS GT-RS turbine

The inevitable has come! The ER34 needs a new turbine to power it's heart.


I've always told myself to modify the stock Garrett TE27 turbine to a ball bearing unit and replace the fragile ceramic fins to stainless steel versions. That is a slightly cheaper alternative yet provides just enough additional juice to keep me happy.


I've been waiting for that day to come for quite a while because I knew one fine day, I'm gonna blow the ceramic fins of the stock turbine. Amazingly though, it withstood all my punishments todate. Or perhaps I don't push her hard enough?!?

I dunno about that, but what I do know is that, finally I have in my hands something better than just modifying the stock turbine. Yes sir, I've got the HKS GT-RS turbine ready to bolt onto the ER34's RB25DET NEO! Woohoo!!!


Pic 2: On a WGNC34, the GT-RS netted 395ps and 463.8Nm of torque :O

HKS GT-RS ball bearing turbo upgrades are bolt-on turbo upgrade kits for the RB engines. These are designed to bolt directly on to the stock manifold. Together with Garrett, HKS designed and sized the turbine for maximum power and response throughout the RPM band. The GT-RS turbine is rated at a very usable 400ps! *grins*

The one I have has a T25 flange thus I've got to change the exhaust housing to a T3 flange in order to bolt on to the manifold of the ER34. Other than that I've also got to fabricate new stainless steel braided oil lines. And then we are good to go!

I've heard, read and also test driven an ER34 with the GT-RS and the response on this turbine is nothing short of superb! I can't wait to get this baby into the ER34 and start making a little bit more ponies. Yeah boy, the ER34 project is starting to get just a little bit on the serious side in the engine bay.

Some specifications of the HKS GT-RS:-

Compressor Wheel:
- Trim: 52
- Entrance Diameter : 51.2mm
- Major Diameter : 71.1mm

Compressor Housing:
- A/R: 0.60

Turbine Wheel:
- Trim: 76
- Major Diameter : 53.8mm
- Exit Diameter : 47.0mm

Exhaust Housing:
- Entrance flange: GT25
- Exit Flange: S/V GT25
- A/R: 0.64
