    Looks genuine China to me.

    Unfortunately, it's genuine Australia.

    @Mick_o - Thanks. Oh tell me about it, getting those turbos off was so frustrating. Like @r32-25t said:

    I’d never pull turbos just to replace dumps 

    I wouldn't do that again for just dumps.

    After a brief research session on converting to a single, the bank account wouldn't allow for it. Although I'm actually very interested in a single setup now after reading all the benefits you get compared to twins.

    My thinking is to leave the car in pieces and source another set of dumps and fronts. But then that money could also contribute to a single setup :6_smile:

    So after a long morning of hard labor turns out that the exhaust doesn't even fit the car... :sad:

    So annoyed, was looking forward to it so much.

    Below is the connection between the front turbo dump pipe and the front pipe.

    Next picture is the position of the front turbo if the dump pipe and front pipe flanges were to be connected.  It's hard to tell from the picture, but the turbo is sitting a lot lower than the standard position and you can see it's angled.

    At this stage, I'll probably leave the car in pieces and try to figure something out.

    TruTrack suspension in North Melbourne

    Thanks Juan - I've spoken TruTrack.  Too expensive at this stage considering I'm only after a basic wheel alignment.

    Mark @ Lucky Wheels and Tyres in West Melbourne. He used to run TyrePower North Melbourne, has done my alignments for the past couple of years now, recommended.

    EDIT: I would also avoid your run of the mill wheel and tyre joints. I had a really bad experience with a place in Fawkner who couldn't find 'R34 GTT' in their alignment machine's database and decided to use some random 70's Skyline settings instead, it was all over the shop.

     

    Thanks - I'll give these guys a call tomorrow.

     

    Steering has been pulling to the left heavily lately and want to cancel out the possibility of the wheels being out of alignment.

    Wheel Alignment

    Hi Guys, looking to get my wheels aligned for my r33 GT-R - only MCA suspensions on it, everything else is factory.  You guys have recommendations for any workshops?  I live in the western suburbs so anything closer to home obviously more ideal. Thanks,
