  1. AFIK it was a stock turbo, it may not be. It runs duel 7 and 12psi. FMIC, pod, lighter flywheel (was done when the new clutch was put in 5000kms ago), turbo back exhaust.. I think thats meant to be all the performance mods done.... I'll have to inquire more when take another look etc.
  2. The one I'm hopefully getting the dyno sheet says it's doing 220.9rwkw. So it aint bad at all.
  3. I won't doubt that. I'll prob notice it once I've become accustomed to the car with the new level of power. But still, for me it is part of the look, the feel the style and just the car itself, not just the power.. But can't deny gotta love the power too...
  4. Cool, thanks, glad to hear something fromm somebody on the place. I got them to replace a wheel stud on my Pulsar bout 6months ago, they did a great job at a good price.. Part of why called em for this, I hope they let my car through... but it has some mods.. *fingers crossed* - and if necessary and gotta fix some stuff, hope it's simple stuff that doesn't give me grief.. I have stock rims to put on, and it's got a quiet exhaust, it's a neat, tidy car that doesn't stand out like dogs balls til you put ur foot on the gas with the boost up. It aint one the best Skylines for power, but it's more than decent enough for me. I want it for the look, the feel and the style. I want it to last and work, and it has enough power for me 8-)
  5. What actually happened to meeting at the Museum? What time at Grevellia Park? If all goes well and I get my ride all going, I'd be keen to come out and meet some of you guys.
  6. I manage a graphic design, print and sign shop out in Mitchell. I can do car decals (vinyl cutouts), and all sorts of stuff here if interested. Feel free to ask re most anything design, print or sign related. Company is FASTdigital call 02 6262 2278
  7. Thanks for recommending your car, but I really don't want a white one or one with so many mods done. Has too high km's for me, even though the engine was rebuilt. Appreciate the recommendation, but I know the one I want, just gotta get it compression checked and through rego.
  8. Yeah I work in Mitchell, live in Giralang, and the old owner is in Flynn, north side would be ideal.. I can get Premier Automotive Repairs in Mitchell to do the compression check, and rego check next thursday, but I don't know how nice, useful or helpful they are or will be. I'm gonna take it "as is" cept for the rims most likely... But I'll talk to the current owner. If they knock me back on stuff, I'll see what can do bout them. if they are do able, and not gonna cost me a fortune, I'm still gonna buy the car, and will do the stuff, if is gonna fcuk me about, then I'll keep looking around. It should be ok, and I'm over paranoid lol. But this car is sweet, quite a sleeper for a skyline (which isn't saying much I guess). Ta for the help and advice. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with more canberra skyline enthusiasts so can get help and advice on all that I need, and so can learn more about my car, their cars, options and ways to look after the baby as best possible to get the best life from her
  9. I'll see what can do.. Not sure really have that option. Also not purchasing it until it's had the rego check done to know that I'm not up for a fortune on probs or issues... if only small things I'm happy to fork for it, cos this car seems worth it. And thus the owner will be taking it and me just meeting him there. I want to know how he had it passed at Dickson last time though... All he had to do was change the rims supposedly.
  10. If I gotta go to dickson, I will, if can go elsewhere instead, happy enough to do that. Just need some advice. I have a mate who can help me hide or remove a few bits as necessary, since I've not had enough experiences as yet with these things myself.. I guess all I can do is hide the stuff best I can, remove what is possible. Take it through and see.. Most of the stuff to hide or change aren't gonna cost me a fortune I am pretty sure..
  11. What place would you recommend I take it to? Since a lot of the places I've called seem iffy about doing a rego check on a modded car. Also, re the ECU, I am not actually sure the exact details, it's a mines afik, I'd have to ask the guy again (I actually asked him to specify in an email for me). It is possible I miss heard the 14psi, but pretty sure he said 7 and 14, or 7 and 12. The car runs so nicely, and I'm very keen to get it, but just gotta manage to get it changed over to my name without it costing me a fortune in fixes or changes.
  12. Hey guys, I'm new here to the forum, and I've done my best job to search for the answer to this question, but with little luck. I'm looking to purchase a 1996 r33 Skyline, I've inspected it, tried it, and loved it. It's in great nick, not too loud, and drives like a dream. However it has a few mods, and I want to know how I'm gonna get this passed for rego. Has FMIC, turbo timer, duel boost setup (runs 7 and 14psi) and a pod filter. Exhaust is fairly quiet so i don't think that'll be an issue. I'm not sure if the rims will pass, since the rears are noticeably larger than the fronts also? But I have the option to get some stock silvia rims with it, to use which have good tires etc. I was told the intercooler and pod are fine here in the ACT, but I could get defected for them if I'm driving in NSW. I was told that the duel boost setup is not legal, it has to be single set boost and isolated? And that the turbo time is not ok, that the car needs to turn off when the key is removed.. However if I just set it to 0 would that be fine, or would I need to remove it? Where could/should I go to get the check done? I was told this car has passed as it was (after swapping the rims) through Dickson before (3.5 years ago) by the current owner... However is there a good place northside/mitchell I can get a compression test done and rego check? Comments, suggestions and ideas would be most welcome!! THANKS!
  13. Famous Insurance No longer insure drivers under the age of 30. I'm 25 and I couldn't get a quote. Shannon's however offered me $1500.
