go to any wrecker mate and pull one off a VL or a R31 skyline..cost me 8$

yeah i had to click it a few times but should open with WMP..

Epic read, ill read the other half tomorrow.. I take it those sounds are how you hear it through the head phones.. I should get a recording of my ute when i put regular in it for u Basti you can hear form the cabin.. If you ever hear an old car, often they will be tuned with advanced timing for LPG, but they have switched onto petrol, making funny crackling noises. I think its the same thing, though i get around it by running premiuim it still does it sometimes under heavy load NB..this is also how i have noticed that some fuels seem to not have as higher octane as others, cause its a fine line for ping, sometimes i get fuel (always premiuim) that still pings like crazy..Making me mistrust petrol station..

its very tempting, I dont think there is any point trying to get anything more out of this one pretty much maxed out already.. And i could probably get the same power from a 2871 with far better response I have a bad habit of jumping in the deep end, i did plenty of research after i bought it..

yeah its making a solid 240.. and spoke to hypergear a while back who straight up recomended a bigger rear housing.. But for that amount of trouble Id consider just getting a better turbo.. might just run some e85 see what happens...I got no problems with the power ,thought it would be a tad more responsive for what it is really. And its kind of odd having a turbo that comes onto boost but doesnt really make alot more power than it did b4..It pulls hard but there's not that boost kick .Not to worry..I should stop complaining and just be happy its running again.

I like this thread already.. Its also odd that they recomend vmx-80 when the factory recomends a multigrade oil.. I got the vmx-80 mainly cause it was cheap, if i had the cash i would've got the syntrans but the only real benefit i thought was it would last longer, though i reckon it would handle abuse better as well...But seeing as im a regular oil changer,and not overly abusive. isnt really of concern.. But i have read many a thread on it , some saying synthetic is not good for______reason and others saying the same about mineral.. Maybe we should Email Castrol and find out the there thoughts.. Even says on their site.. Note: Although Castrol Syntrans B may be topped up with mineral oil (Castrol VMX80 preferred), some of the performance advantages and protection provided by Castrol Syntrans B will be significantly reduced.

its real wheel drive , you'll get used to it but go easy or you may find out the hard way what its limits are.. Try driving a trayback ute, even my little old b2600 mazda gutlees car has seen my do a 180 in the wet with near new set of bridgestones, ..on my ps,My stock old gemini could spin 3rd sideways for a 100mtres in the wet..its fun.. Welcome to the joys of RWD, just be careful till you get the hang of it,and if you wish to test its limit make sure there is nothing you can hit..GL Also ,traction control will not stop you losing it sideways in the wet, no matter how many dumb blonde chicks try to tell you it does..Ive met a few that have insisted their TC was busted because they slid out in the wet.....

specs GT3071R garrett ball bearing turbo comp housing 0.50a/r inducer wheel diameter 53.1mm exducer wheel diameter 71.0mm trim 56 exhaust housing 0.64 a/r (mod 21u) turbine wheel diameter 56.5mm trim 84 Was told and I thought should make 260...but it isnt, thinking it would be better suited to a rb20

as cool as that video was the only thing i really learnt from it is that drifting trashes what was once a good car..

Mohsen congrats on your DP man, you actyually make that car look cool...and thats a tough job..

You say dated, I like to call it "RETRO"

yeah i like orange too

Does it get real hot? I had an ignitor kept getting really hot, though it never blew like yours, tried earthing but made very little differnece. It turned out to be a tiny bent pin in the ecu giving low voltage. Luckily I had a smart bloke on the job cause I doubt I ever would of figured it out. Not sure if this is related but just thought Id share..

ME thinks engine wont last long...

yeah only took me 2 weeks to pick it up, thought 230kw sounded a bit much for a stocky..

was that 230kw or km.. If it was km retract my comment cause i thought you meant kws..Not that anyone paid attention anyway...

+1

Just go to garrett webpage..Its all there

What is cr33ms setup like? I always run panel filters as i found the pod noise annoying and I noticed no difference from the pod to panel, despite numerous dyno shops telling me they do make a difference..When i took my car for tune i took both filters and the pod was used..when i got it back i put the panel in and it honestly didnt feel as good. Now in a car with alot of HP this difference would be insignificant but in my car it feels worthwhile and better with a pod,(maybe a better brand panel would fix this but its a bit late for that now) It has air coming into it from all directions so i hardly think surface area is a problem, it still sounds like a pod but not as loud which is good and at a quick glance it looks stock. Its a win win 4 me.. @birds... nah i didnt run the panel with holes in the bottom of the box as it would not be filtered... And that would be silly

Ok, that is a good price and good to know. I .didnt really need pads now anyway but no doubt i will at some stage, thought i might grab the bendix while cheap, but maybe not so cheap after all, I dont like the idea of rotor wear.....

Yeah am in process of trying to make some plastic covers as u can just see the filter poking out, Also to cover the old cooler pipe holes..Bit trickier than i first anticipated, but ill get there.. Edit 4 birds..yeah bottom of airbox is cut out, you can hear it and it draws air from the holes underneath where the cooler pipes used to be as well as the snorkel..I ran it for a bit with panel filter and box stock but it didnt feel as quick..

Or....... + =

bit paranoid mate ..If almost all is used sounds like he did it right... If someone paid me 60$ to change their oil. I know I'd do it properly so they would comeback again..Wouldnt you? 60$ for barely 30mins work is good money..

So what about something like a BT-50.. I mean I highly doubt a cop is gunna rag on a kid for driving one as its hardly a performance vehicle , but technically it is a turbo
