man that should have been a straight out win i would have lost it if i were Carole

bump

$110 people usually $150+

was out at Sofia's and heading home.... i flashed you

this time i'm not mistaken spotted our friend Alex last night, CNR burwood Hwy and Springvale Rd. ALex was pleasantly taking off at the lights whilst still ending up 3 car lenghts infront of everyone beautiful site Ian

i know that is goind to sound stupid - im driving the family round and ocasionally giving it when out with some of the fellas....a little lag wont hurt i dont think with 4WD and 3200 stall and shit kit..1750kg...if its just for fun and not serious 'i want to fully slaughter everyone bro' racing then its ok ??? ture Gary has offered alot of info as usual,, thanks ... but im talking street car not track sierra's or mad GTR's... any thoughts on the GCG ceramic comment?? thanks Ian

from what i read on the GCG website, before it was altered, i noticed that the rebuild used ceramic hi-speed bearings and load ball bearing. i just recently checked it to show a friend and found that the site had been altered/updated.. anyone shed light on theseceramic hi-speed bearings?? are they ball bearings with ceramic coat?? Oh and also ... not all of us would be hitting sand traps or stalling whilst taking a drive down the HWY with and Automatc car.. and from what i have gathered during my short time in the turbo world most do an oil change/minor service every 5000km or there abouts... would there be any other factors that would cause the plain bearing to b unworthy? i woudl like to know as i have a family to carry round and dont want to spend minimum $1750 for a rebuild, which could also need more money spent fixing actuators etc, if i can get a decent turbo that needs a little more care for half the price. in saying this i also dont want a turbo that will $hit itself in a few months as stated above newbie to all of this compared to some of you so need all the info there is from everyone ho has had EXPERIENCE with THE turbos that are being discussed thanks for the great info so far all of you ian

dico thank you very much for that.. as Robo's said the numbers are a little overwhelming at first but some research will fix that.. nice mate thanks oh what is your opinion on the slide turbos as you seem to have extensive knowledge on turbo's Thanks ian

Hi All i have to apologise for all who will see this post as being useless although i would like to ask discopotato03 to please break down that last post in english for all of whom (me ) have no idea what that meant.. if you could please put itt in sort and sweet phrases i.e. i dont like the turbo or i like the turbo and this is why that would be much appreciated for the newbs to the turbo world thanks Ian

offers???

hi sorry for the late reply.. thanks Al good advise.. so compared to the 2535 and your vg30 upgrade what are the characteristics? i.e boost at ... , HP rating... etc i have also seen the slides turbo for under $1000.. now i know that these have bush bearings although the GCG rebuild had ceramic hi-speed bearings and load ball bearing? now this is not full ball job... wat would be the difference with the rebuild and a new turbo with bush? anyone enlighten me on how to maintain bush bearing turbo's ?? i know that ball is better by far although i will most likely not max a bush turbo so the weakness factor is not there? correct me if im wrong?? thanks Ian

HI Al thanks for the advise... its interesting that you say that any/all high flows are not the best option.. in the stagea section everyone is turning to the GCG highflow/rebuild option.. also i have had a chat to same people this afternoon who advised that the 2535 would run out of puff... apparently they had a r32 with one which didnt produce as much kW output as expected even after tuning etc and advised that a t3/t4 option would be better... would you know what rpm the 2535 would hit boost?? the stock turbo on the stagea (1650kg dry) comes in at 2400-2500 this is a little low for my liking as with a full load (family) on the freeway it hits boost approx 100km.... this is good that i am getting others opinions as all i have heard is GCG this and GCG that.... thoughts?? thanks Ian

Hi all Time to spoil the missus so looking for a turbo upgrade. Must be in very good condition NO shaft play, shot seals, cracked housings etc. low kM A rebuilt one like GCG 450hp+ with steel wheels etc would be sweet as it would mount straight up. Would consider other options too I’m in VIC so this state would be preferred, unless people want to have the turbo's checked and provide me with report I’d like to know: KM it has been run? What car? What max boost run? How the turbo was acquired (new, second hand, had rebuilt)? Please be as genuine as possible. This also has to transport my kids and wife so sorry for being pedantic thanks Ian

check pm

i reckon the volks although love the gtr wheels too just because there're not as subtle as the gtrs... make it stand out a little more.. ahhh talking crap just put the volks on one side and gtrs on the other and choose from there... helps seeing on your own car... take pics too ian

have a set of r33 gtr super lows which drop the gtr by 40mm. spring rate is 180lbs/in with was going to be OK based on previous calculation advise... these are for the front and from different peoples advise ( suspension shops) they have said that it would be OK although bit rough for sale now.. never got on the car still in wrapping going the group buy set up

no Alex that was at 8:50am wasnt a plesent person... when i give him a nod and a wave he was like 'yeah anyway" oh well

well if it were a s2 then unfortunately was not me... although i have been on Swan st a couple of times this week and weekend. OHH spotted a white S1 this morning on the way to work Corner Burwood Hwy and Springvale Rd.... though it was Alex as it was identical to his although i was wrong.... unless alex lent his car out??

guys from king springs advised that after settling they are 40 mm lower

anyone? no offers?
