  1. so i need to get the N1's with the larger housings....
  2. I find synenergy 8000 (ie mobil) to give the best response and fuel mileage. Shell optimax is crap. BP ulitmate is not bad....
  3. what do u mean by different R34 n1 turbos? Any part numbers to distinguish??

  5. Andrew, I think R34 N1's are a good street turbo....don't they come on boost quicker than say hks 2530's?
  6. thanks for your support guys... Now, I need to start sourcing some parts: Can anyone recommend on how to build these to be a strong reliable engine without costing an arm and a leg?
  7. pms sent...
  8. well my engine is out and its a full rebuild....rings and bearing are gone...
  9. Price dosen't mean anything. If it was damaged he should've told me
  10. I'm after a pair to fit onto an R33 GTR. I'm not really fussed if they are new or used, but need a pair ASAP. Feel free to call 0407 931 097.
  11. Price drop $350 for the pair...
  12. Thats right Andrew - "PRE-TAX is gold"
  13. Hey guys, I've left some negative feedback for him and now he has left me some negative feedback!!! Do u believe it.... "He said that I tried to cut corners, got burnt and I'm blaming everyone but myself." People don't ever bargain or negotiate on price coz u'll be seen as trying to cut corners.... Mr. En One = Scum
  14. The disclaimer on the report says that VIP's report is valid for 3 days only after which it becomes void. The car was inspected on the 17th Feb and the car left Tassie on the 26th February. I do have a reading of the kms from when they inspected and I received the car with about 300 kms more but this may not be enough. The car had also been sitting away in storage for 10 months so when I spoke to the inspector, he said that due to this reason and constant thrashing for 300kms, the car burnt all its oil. I know that they'll try to shift blame in any way but the fact is that they inspected it on the 17th Feb, the inspection is valid till 20th Feb, the car left Tassie on the 26th Feb.
  15. Mobil 1 5w-50 and Castrol R 10w-60 look fairly dark straight out of the bottle. I don't know if the motul oils are a lighter gold? I've never used motul oils but maybe they appear to last longer because they are a lighter color to start with?? Is this true, can anyone verify? discopotato03, Castrol r 10w-60 is sold at most Autobahn stores...
  16. SydneyKid, When the car got home I checked the oilstick and it was reading no oil. I then added 1/2 litre and it then showed a very slight increase. When I drained it, I got like 2, maybe 2.5 litres out of the sump. The VIP report contains a section that shows the oil level to be good. The problem is that they could argue that, "at the time of inspection", the car had adequate oil. Who knows what was done to it later.
  17. DRFT33, I'm not the one with the xr6t, my work colleagues are. There are 2 ways of leasing cars at work, 1) a fully maintained lease where u give back the car after two years or 2) a novated lease, where u salary sacrifice to own the car and have all expenses paid. My work colleagues got the Ford XR6T on the 2 year lease option. Believe me, I wouldn't go for a Holden or Ford. I've had skylines for the last 5 years by buyinh them out right but this time round I went for the novated lease and got a 97 GTR V-Spec.... The guys at work thought that they'd get a brand new fast car....but forgot that FORD = Found On Rubbish Dump.
  18. Yeah, I've got no lawyer friends but my wife has a friend who just completed a law degree. She doesn't practice but she might have some contacts...
  19. I would agree with you lwells, it was my car and then got damaged by someone else...but it could be argued that I allowed him to drive it...
  20. yeah, I was thinking of talking to a lawyer...I'll look into it further. I don't know how they will treat this case - its a private deal so "buyer beware applies" . I'm trying to look at it in a positive way....unfortunately I don't have that much money available if we find out more problems in the engine.
  21. fatgts-r, u maybe absolutley right.... either way, ethics would say that he should put his hands up for some of the repairs...I mean, if I sold someone a car after they had it inspected and it turned out fine and then it gets damaged during the delivery or after they leave a deposit, I'd do what I can to help them.
