SECURITY

This is true but from the misleading information provided it is quite worrying to see an ambassador of a business trying to push its products and not knowing much about it to help us make a discussion on them. If you look at the above statements made most of them were stolen from Sydneykid. I never said they were a fraud at all but as i have written above the information wasnt all that assuring. How is that a good generalisation of what turbo's were deemed better for an application? Why would journal better suit a GTR (Certified race bred cars) then a much lesser sports coupe? This was a very bad example on your part. As by that statement you would be leading people to beleive that Journal are better suited to cars that require harder working better performing gear. Didn't you just say that? That is exactly my point and why myself and (im sure) 2rismo pointed out a silly comment like this: Very missleading and defaming (of Journal bearing systems) information that most people viewing this thread might not know about. Nope its not possible but the point is who cares about ball bearing when there is no real difference to journal? Show me the differences between dyno sheets between these highflows in particular. Cheers

Sorry mate, ive got to disagree there. there are too many differences in opinion about these turbos, how could anyone feel comfortable getting them. i would rather go to GCG or Slide just because i know that they will make the numbers because everyone else on the forum who wants a highflow has gotten one from either. and at least Slide is a trader and a member long before that, so we all know he isnt going anywhere. also, i just have to add that 99% of 32 and 33 gtr turbo's are journal did nissan downgrade to them for any reason? same highflows with the same wheels producing the same numbers.. there is no difference and the fact of the matter is that ball bearing turbo's do FAIL (you have constant metal to metal contact).. journal bearing turbos ONLY fail when oil feed is interupted (there is no metal to metal contact). and what's more, with the price of BRAND NEW garrett turbochargers these days which have an internationally backed warranty from a massively respected company, why would anyone spend MORE than the cost of a new garrett on a highflow no matter WHO makes it?

hey.. im interested, if i decide to go ill be booking for 8-10 mates. let me know if thats ok. its all good if its an sau thing only.

im after an safc preferably in sydney PM or email me on jtawadrous at optusnet.com.au cheers.

wowowweeewoaaa! thats one sexy car.

congrats mate. and for the gtr... ill be your best friend.

come on liz! everyone wants to see you on the track already! pick a damn car.

hope this helps mate... oil_filter_bracket.pdf

you can get a sandwich plate for around $30 from justjap.

there usually is a bit of sealer. get a heat gun or a hair dryer and heat it up and see if that works. half of the thread isnt much, especially when the oil filter is tightened by hand. i wouldnt risk using the broken thread unless you were completely confident that it would hold.

its a common thing. you're just running rich. do things like oxygen sensor and plugs/service and you should be right, other than that you'll need a tune.

good job mate. looks tops. ill be doing the same thing to my car soon.

P-Plater Survey 1. Do you feel the current P plate restrictions are suitable? Yes 2. Would you drive a prohibited vehicle (turbo, v8) if you could? i do already 3. Do you feel you take more care around P platers on the road? Yes 4. Do you like the idea of having a passenger limit for P platers? Yes - if they have gotten a speeding/neg driving etc fine, otherwise No. 5. Do you regulary (atleast once everyday) speed (purposely go over speed limit)? No - sometimes i dont realise, but when i do i slow down. 7. Do you follow the speed on the freeway and stay within your 90 or 100km/h limit? (If you have one) Yes 8. Has all the recent articles about P plater deaths made you slow down? No (seeing my bro in law and mates almost die in a car accident did) -my brother did a driver offenders course which has settled him ALOT. i think that p platers should have this as an option which will let them have more than 1 passenger etc. 9. Do you see more P platers doing the right or wrong thing when you are out driving? (Be honest please) Wrong 10. Do you think passenger restrictions will solve the P plate death issue? Or does more need to be done? i agree with the passenger restrictions because: 1. less peer pressure. 2. less people killed the better. 11. Do you trust getting into a car with a P plater? Or do you trust your child getting into a car with a P plater? if i do im always in the passenger seat... ready to throw a backhander if i dont like how theyre driving. 12. Please tick what licence you are on: Green P's 13. Are you male or female? Male

also, depending on how much thread you've got you can always put on a sandwich plate which has a bolt that grabs onto the standard oil filter bracket then bolt your oil filter onto the thread on that.

you need a new oil filter bracket. your whole oil filter bracket/cooler comes off. if you want a proper fix then replace the oil filter bracket. heres the part out of the workshop manual: the part shouldnt cost too much 2nd hand, just get one off a wrecker (make sure you clean and blow it out before putting it on!!), might be a bit of a bitch to get to though.

ive got no idea about the n/a's mate. do a search in naturally aspirated performance. your plugs look pretty shagged mate. close your gap to .8 and throw some new ones in.

tps is on the throttle body (little black box thingo on it). theres 2 bolts on it - one on the top and one on the bottom. loosen the bolts, turn either clockwise or anti clockwise to adjust it.

the first car accident thread where the damage will probably be able to be buffed out.. and noones said 'that'll buff right out'... strange! bad luck mate just make the sucker pay. get the letter E and put it next to whats left of the sticker and sell your car to wilch lol.

sounds about right. 2bar at idle, around 4 bar when cruising and 6+bar when higher up in the rev range.

use the one that came with it if it was being used previously with no problems. its hard to tell if the water lines will fit on, but from what i can see, i dont think they will - the fittings look different and the standard ones arent flexible enough to bend to where you'd need them. get some made up - allow around $80-$100 for each one you need made. you might want to turn the oil drain pipe the other way, it should be curving towards the block, not away from it.

next time you post a cruise, stick on some estimated travel time for those (me) who have never been. edit: i cant go! ive got plans that day.

Steve: not your average Amway salesman... he does software too. how do you find the time mate?

ive got a set still in a working motor in my garage. pm me with an offer. also have a set of perfect gtr pistons if interested. cheers.

ive got a few 3310's, not sure if they work i-mate smart phone (older version) - needs a screen s700i - in pieces somewhere, water damage - needs the circuit board under the screen and will work fine. (im lazy). CDMA 3105 - needs a screen i think. v3 with cracked screen thats all i can remember off the top of my head.

any idea if the boot trim of the 4 door will fit into a 2door? if so how much?
