  1. Phew - I'm sure these are good coilovers - but they would be worth more than my entire S12 they are going to go in ! All other PMS received with thanks. Still looking - I have a couple of weeks before I need to install them.
  2. Got a whole rear cradle for S13 for $50 of evil bay - seems like a deal too good to be true - absolutely complete with everything - cradle, sway bars, hubs, brakes, suspension, discs - the lot Gonna fab it into the S13 Should be an interesting project......
  3. Wanting a set of rear coilovers for S13 / R32 Good condition - don't need to be new - no leaks My Location : Sydney PM me thx
  4. As stated - I need a KKK K26 Turbo Actually, I just need the hotside wheel and housing (exhaust/turbine) wheel & housing. going to fit this to my K27 for faster spool The Centre and Compressor side can be farked - I don't care. Let me know what you got. b-man(at)skylinesaustralia dot com dot au
  5. It was road tuned - (good tune too) - So not a chance to put it on the Dyno - I was going to arrange this with Craved - but now, will have to wait till the rear wheels are able to spin again......
  6. http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=15595 http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?p=22...173df160dfe3b0f Sorry - just pasting links here so I can reference later !
  7. Some info on the K## range - Seems to be in audis, BMW, Porsches - http://www.bufkinengineering.com/sportquattroturbo.htm http://www.not2fast.com/audi/maxq/turbo/ http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info....oducts_id=13763
  8. Yep - think you ar right - have set up some searches on evil bay now - Thanks. The other thing would be to balance to motor so it revs to 8500+ - that would be good !
  9. Yes - fairly disappointed - But have done these mods on many cars for many years now - so I didn't expect everything to be smooth sailing.
  10. Yep and 735 BMWs I think - and yeah -on the lookout for a K26 rear - an ideas ???
  11. Ha ha - I'd need a 50lb bottle mate
  12. This turb would be a ball tearer on an RB25. Full boost by 4000 RPM I reckon and easy 300+ rwkw - abd being journal bearing - boost it to 30+ PSI easy for massive power.
  13. Went thru twin charge option with mechanic - that was my preference - I nearly bought an SC14 ($350) for it. But my guy says turbo is too small for this and the boost/revs overlap wouldn't be worth it. Re smaller rear - being a KKK turbo - they are uncommon - spoke to Brett at CGC and they need to see the rub to match it - this would be best option. WE may be lucky that something may fit - FOund out rear AR is 1.15 - far out - if I had known that before..... oh well picked the KKK up for a song. NOS - GREAT - but I wanna use it on the street.....as well. GT3071 would be ideal but no $$ left ($1600) Thought of getting new cams - but new turb would be similar $$ Also thought of overboring to a 2.4L
  14. Car is at workshop now - We think it's the diff but need to pull it apart to tell. I hope it's the crownwheel - so I just get another one and away we go - But my feeling is that it is more than that is the whole axle is sitting about 2" to the left of centre - may have broken some suspension in the fierce lockup. Apart from that little incident - the think pulls like a $50 whore from 5000 rpm to 6500 rpm. In other words - the turbo is too big - Looking at options for this now....
  15. f*kin hell..... Had the car for 3 hrs - driving along in 2nd, accelarating, doing about 70ks - All of a sudden BANG. The rear lock up - blue smoke everhwere from the 300 semi slicks skidding from the lockup. Can won't move - Engine OK - Can put in first, but it aint going anywhere. I think the crown wheel in the diff shat itself and has locked into the spider pinion gears - rendering the locker diff really locked. Had to leave car where it is and walk home in bare feet on the road - for 6kms - Forgot my mobile, f*k it - I was just going round the (big) block to get some milk. Back to the workshop....... f*k it f*k it - 14 months in the workshop and it lasted 3 hours - not happy jan !
  16. 12/ Don't wear a metal strap watch when working on car
  17. Amen brother - I relate - I feel the pain - It's all so true. 1) The Silver Skyline (SKYLYN) that blew up on the Dyno, then another WS fixed it up - Double whammy for costs. 2) The Cosmo - Went in for a Turbo upgrade - came out with a rebuilt engine 6 months later. 3) The S12 Project - Is in the workshop still and is onto it's 2nd Rego since being in there (1) - $70K including Car - 12 months off the road (2) - $50K including Car - 6 months off the road (3) - $10K including Car - 12 Months ++ off the road 2.5 years off the road and $130K later Events attended in last 4 years - 3 Drag Days, 3 drift Days, 5 track days. Bloody expensive and time consuming hobby. I should have just bought an R34 GTR.
  18. Does this mean B-Man still holds RB25DET record at a UAS / SAU Dyno day ?? :-)
  19. Nah man - It sux to be me..... The S12 PIG is on to it's 2nd rego whilst being in the shop - Shocking...... It's not the shop's fault though - I keep getting them to do stuff to it. I think they want it out of there as much as I do..... I hate missing drive days - already lost so much $$ putting down $$ and not getting out there ... bugger Poor me !
  20. FJ20ET class for old school DR's ?? (and S12's) ;-)
  21. Ooo - Tell me how the K26 goes ! What do you have it on ? Tell me about max power and response. I took a gamble with the KKK K27 - It 'looks' to be perfect from the size and specs - for my FJ I same took a gamble cause I don't know anyone using one Please share
  22. Yeah - the Cosmo went at the beginning of the year - sold it to a young asian fella who then wrote it off - Kids of today and 500HP HKS powered 20B engines - I don' t know..... No respect for another person hard earned $$mega build$$ Not sure when making the move - we are still working things out - It's a tricky situation ...... god damn it.
  23. Shell - you are a shit stirrer ! :-)
