Finished piecing the car together at about 10:30 Friday night. I didn't attempt to start the car at all after the new injectors + turbo as I thought I should leave it to the professionals (ie Trent) and I didn't want to waste all my time and money grenading the engine before I even left the shed! Then I loaded up my mates ute with my kinchrome toolbox, Powertools, jack, all my lubricants and coolant etc, spare wiring/spark plugs/gaskets and every single spare part I owned hahaha. There was no way I was not getting this car to Melbourne. Loaded the car on to the car trailer and strapped it down and I was all set. Started the almost 7 hour drive from Wagga to dandenong at 5am and after the first fuel stop + servo pie it was about sunrise. Was one of the best sunrise's I have ever seen so I knew it was going to be a good day. The trip went very well, the little 3 litre turbo diesel Hilux towed it like a champion, and the car trailer was on very good condition and also towed excellent. Having never been to Melbourne before and due to road closures google maps had us towing the car and car trailer some farking interesting places, narrow and full of cars to say the least. Made it to Chequered tuning without a hitch and got it all unloaded with the help of 'driftcat' then did a few little things that I didn't have time to do lady night, then stood back and almost couldn't believe after almost 11 months of working on this farkin car almost every night it was almost all done! Got talking to Trent and Cat about what I was looking for in the tune and asked a few questions about the whole process and what's involved etc as I love knowing how things work and couldn't resist hahaha. Overall, I cannot believe how awesome and down to earth both Trent and Cat are! They answered all my questions and didn't try to sell themselves and promise me huge unrealistic power figures. They just explained the process the car would go through and what they would do if any unexpected problems came up. They are both amazingly genuine nice people. So far I cannot recommend them enough, and I hope the tuning goes as smooth as dropping the car off did. After that, another servo pie for lunch then drove across to hoppers crossing and picked up some R33 GTR rims. Managed to pick up 6 of them for a very nice price. 4 are in very good condition while the other 2 have a bit of rash and one has a very very slight buckle. All have tyres as well! After that it was time for the drive home. After another servo stop and (you guessed it, another servo pie) we headed for home. Left Melbourne at 4 and made it back by about 10 and headed straight to bed. Cannot thank my mate enough for towing it all threat down and back In the one day, was a huge effort from him! Now I'm just waiting to hear from Trent about some results, fingers crossed nothing goes wrong.

Scotty knows. But he will probably somehow start trying to convince you to use E85 as well, it's his thing.

Looking at getting a VY SS ute. Surely someone here has towed with one of these before, looking for info on how well they tow. Wouldn't be doing heaps of towing with it, taking my R32 to drift events 3-4 hours away. Any idea on a rough fuel economy would be great also, cheers. Oh the one I am looking at is the 6 speed manual not the auto.

Haha you know you're playing with car to much when you wake up to a random thought about your fuel pump at 3am

Importance on the KilOhm so 470,000 ohm resistor attatched to the wire that the knock sensor would be on, and then just run it to earth.

Choice steering wheel but you may want to rethink the price, you can get the for $300 brand new.

I would but fark taking the turbo off again now, adding the nipple then putting it back on all tonight, still have to put inter cooler piping back and put it on a car trailer haha

Will have to get that put on then. Hope Trent can do it for me haha, out of time to do it now.

Got the turbo on finally after fighting with oil and water lines. Found it interesting that the turbo doesn't have a little nipple or similar to run to the wastegate? Just used a spare nipple on my plenum and run it to that.

This is what i would be after yeah? Hopefully can source some locally if not then i'm pretty much farked before this weekend haha. http://www.sonicperformance.com.au/95015/Stud-_and_-Nut-Kit-GT30_or_GT35_or_GT42_or_GT45-M10x1.5-X-4/pd.php

Standard studs are 39mm, parts that protrude from the manifold is only 24mm, turbo housing is 10mm, spacer is 16mm. So standard studs are 2mm Fromm even being flush with new turbo. Will try and get it all sorted tomorrow, hopefully have enough time to get it sorted before this weekend >_<

Any idea what size studs I need? And how do I get the olds ones out? Trying to make it fit by clocking the turbo but don't think it will work.

Pump until I move somewhere ethanol is available. Turbo won't fit in as exhaust studs are not long enough. God damnit

Oh it is a Hypergear ATR43SS2 internal gate. So pretty much what i had before but i decided not to go the high flow route just to chase that little bit of extra power

Sweet, cheers dude. Also, new turbo finally arrived! It is much bigger than i thought it was going to be hahaha. It is going on tonight and is the last thing i have to get sorted before the car goes down to trent this weekend for tuning! Fingers crossed it bolts up all sweet and i don't have anything bite me in the ass

And for reference, here is the latest SS2 internal gate that i just received today, woot!

What model is that dude?

Any update on this fatz? Would be interested to hear your story.

I though gtr's have plastic while gts-t is metal.

What size is the compressor outlet on your SS2 stao? I need to buy a 90 deg silicone bend but under on what size I need. Would probably be 2.5" yeah?

I don't really like 33's that much. But the 33 GTR is such a different beast, i love them! This is an almost perfect example of how to do things right. I have been following for a while and it's all been very interesting, but needs more videos!

Hey mate i have the throttle body and all sensors except the main throttle position sensor. PM me for more info.

Just used the standard fuel rail and 4mm spacer man. It still clears the plenum easy as, no worries there. Ah to be honest i didn't even measure the size difference between the old ones and the new ones. I just sprayed lanolin on them and they went into the fuel rail fine and didn't move around at all when i put the retaining clips in. With my luck i wouldn't be surprised if i bought the wrong ones haha, anything i do seems to be one step forward and two steps back!

Goddamn it. I literally just purchased and installed a set of Xspurt 1000cc's from Scotty and will be running them with a R34 GT-T Nistune. I asked on here and searched the forums and everyone said they would be sweet with the Nistune
