After two months of waiting I finally picked up my car from the cargo mob in Freo yesterday.

and all I can say is DAMN!, its in a shitload better condition than the photo's I saw of her in Japan and came with a few extra suprises in the boot also (spare set of adjustables, stocky's, airbox, dump pipe, clear indicators). damn damn damn happy :(:D:(

now onto Stage 1 :)

DLuded, got it in myself with the help of Geoff from PrestigeMotorsport.

WOW thats a list as long as ure arm:eek:

Only 34k on the clock is excellent did u check that under the seat to see if it its legit.(not taking any of the fun outta it but its always good to check)

If you dont mind my asking what ballpark price for such a sexy beast?

adam32: yeah 13th looks good at this point, ill ask some mates tonight and see if their interested.

boostzor: where do you check under the seat? although its a bit hard with the aftermarkets in there which jam up against the cage, its a prick sometimes just to adjust.

it set me back 17k + onroad, but its already gone 500$ over budget at the moment so itll most probably end up costing me 19k on the road.

Dude you run a business right? Speedfreaks.

Claim it as a company car? whole becomes a tax deduction then :(

you'll be laughing.

PM me and i can put u in touch with someone who did this with a GTR.

skyzzer33, on the books im officially not employed.. i did that as I was at uni and didnt want to effect my austudy and so forth. the business isnt making any money anywho as we sell most of the stuff to mates, its just a good way to get cheap stuff :O

gradenko: stage 1 = new turbo and i/c :P

gotta read damn manual for the HKS EVC and get it going properly, its supposedly set at the same levels for high/low at the moment (0.76bar) but the warning alarm still goes off sometimes (0.9bar) and its too hard to look at the gauge when this is happening to see what its actually hitting. hehe

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
