oh i see mi mi nice one bra marco those dashes are cool as! I admit they aren't as cool as the digital ones in the MZ20 though!

spose this means no Hemi 426 for the Datsun then

Decided that I'll likely go HKS 2835ProS, less stuffing around, and proven results. Tridentt150v: you pretty much have to do everything here yourself or with your mates - there aren't any places who deal with turbo cars - the local exhaust shop is so bad I had to get a mate to weld up the gaps last time they did any exhaust work for me. Fkn pathetic. It's easy to get parts though. I'm only looking at the turbo itself, tuning is another conservative $2k to get the car down to melbourne or adelaide (since the local "tuners" think that Skylines can be tuned by using an adjustable FPR, upping the pressure and cranking the CAS, and I got quoted $110 an hour for Microtech tuning by a guy who's never tuned one) I accept the fact that there's no cheap way about this, and that I'll have to spend about $4k once I get the turbo, all the bits and pieces and pay a mate to put it in, just for a moment there it seemed that there would be a cheaper alternative, but I'd rather do it once, properly. Wolverine I had looked at them but I kind of want a turbo in between a high flow and 3076, which is where I think the 2835 or 3071 would fit perfectly It might help Ash if you could sticky some basic information like this, since as I've said before it can be very hard to work out.

yeah well the older models are too much maintenence for the unenthused, and the R34 is still too expensive for most, so most people who don't give a stuff end up with R33's!

could someone please do HR31053115 (not sure if it needs the 6U9000 prefix!) ta

when before you owned one, legit suspension mods included Monroe Shocks and King Springs

lol it's not even a public website, and it's in another language! this shit needs to take a trip to the Wasteland!

just let the clutch out into second really fast, it gives it less shock

mm fat gaijin girls, many chubbies in JP out of interest?

that is basically what I wanted to know, armed with the knowledge that non Garrett rears are going to f**k up compressor maps and efficiency ranges for these turbos, the cheap options are exposed to be to me at least, totally mismatched and therefore a waste of time and money! Is the Garrett name stamped into the rear housing, and I had noticed that they seem to be more expensive, external gates are completely illegal even if plumbed back riiiight? TBQH it would seem to be almost the same difference to just buy a HKS turbo lol.

do you mean stroked? LOL. and where do you get this from?

an old meme but a good one, much like Techno Viking

Mate I have read THAT many turbo threads on here, it is in fact very confusing once it gets into the mathematical side of things for those like me who don't have a perfect grasp on turbocharger design. TBQH most of it is incredibly boring to me and I don't really want to have to know any more than I need to in order to make a selection. When they say on the GCG website that it has a T25 flange NOT T3, who the f**k is going to think "oh maybe I should ring and see if they do have an IW housing for T3", one would ASSUME that it would be listed alongside the T25 option. That's just common sense. I was under the impression that I could at least buy a Garrett turbocharger, with the right type exhaust housing more or less off the shelf without having to worry about dodgy bastards trying to use non Garrett exhaust housings, or having to ring up a turbo place and have to ask for them to make me up a custom item, surely not everyone has to do this, how many Skyline owners would be buying turbos!? In addition to this, given that in one of these recent threads someone mentioned the apparent markup GCG put on their turbos to discourage private buyers, what are some reputable suppliers that do use all of the Garrett housings? It would seem that every suggestion mentioned is dodgy. I was initially interested in the 3071, but had thought it would need to be leaned on too much to get the power I want out of it, but now it also appears that the 3076 is really too big.

20+ PSI? and why then a 3076 if you're already making over 300rwkw with e85?

okay, so the T3 flanged housings are universal among the GT30 family? (apart from boost control of course)

I thought they were a 270rwkw max type turbo though, that's where i'm curious, do you have cam gear/ cams?

and? lol I was just saying comparatively speaking; having to suffer with a cheap turbo I'm not keen to get another POS, but neither am I keen on wasting money when it need not be, and having a 'kit' that is all a bolt up job is a lot easier than having to f**k around buying parts here there and everywhere and also having to know exact specs. On the other hand, if that means that a bolt on kit is not really going to use the potential of the turbo, then there is no real choice but to just buy the bare turbo from GCG or whomever and buy accessories seperate to suit. EDIT: after looking at the 3071's on the GCG site, it says that they come with T25 flange housings not T3 :S

well that's basically what the Hypergear item is Cartman. So you're saying Ash that for someone like me who's looking for around 250rwkw @ 1bar or so I'd be better off with say this? http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.p...roducts_id=6598 which is incidentally around the same price as a 3076 highflow? EDIT: I also noticed that the turbine housing size isn't the same as on the generic turbos... would that likely to be a bad thing?

hehe i'd always thought they were some mediocre American solution since I'm guessing that most Aussie made ECU's are thin on the ground over there, Trent would you say that they are worse than a Microtech?

Interesting, mine has the exact same thing going on hamish, and I also have the car runningly stupidly rich and fouling plugs all the time. It dosen't look like it would be a massive job to take it off, apart from the bolts lol, I'm used to having to pull my cooler piping and associated hosing all the time to get to the spark plugs anyway. ratchet spanners are a must on a Skyline IMO, too fkn hard and complicated to do a lot of things otherwise.

been meaning to ask you about that, isn't the 2835 about the same size as a 3071? that is what I find hard to work out lol

i've come close a few times, but bearing in mind that usually when insane speeds are attained in the middle of nowhere here. I have zero sympathy for survivors of horrible accidents who not only learn nothing but brag about the experience.

nah ultimates are way too dusty, imma try QFM HPX in the near future. esther stop being a cocktease trap (man)tits or GTFO in the most polite way possible

that's because it's likely easier to reco your existing box

soarers are nice marc you prince of gayness (Eps is king LOLZ OH NO HE DI-DN'T!) people who whinge about gearboxes are always fags, try driving a VX SS T56 gearbox THEN compare it to everything else. Also hamish (can I call you mi mi?), i think that we have got the hint that you have 300rwkw, I assume genuine Garrett housings and not a hypergear or HPIAB setup?
