Well here I am, in a little rural town of england, not much of a car scene, Ive seen one or two coswroths, heaps of porshces' mercs, and beamers, lots of $$ drving around the roads. No skylines yet.

The town im staying in is good, very small, and cosy you could say. Im staying at the back of the pub im working in, not the greatest accomidation, but its a place to sleep, so I cant complain.

Anyway, I better go, its pretty cold, and ive got a 20min walk back to the pub.

Cheers

hehe.. doxx ill buy ya a pint, its only about £2 for a beer, which is over a litre, its great!

I seen two skylines yesterday, a nice r32 GTR, and an r33 GTS with a GTR badge on it, YES its true, they have lots of ricers over here as well.

Kamikaze, I went around london the other day and seen alot of the sites, such as big ben, and the palace, and few other awesome places, things are so old here its amazing, australia, really needs some decent history hehe.

Im gonna try and catch up witha few of the GTR UK guys, and get them to come down to the pub im working at for a meet, that should be great.

Good to see your all doing well, INASNT, you should just pack up your stuff, and come meet me.. you'll love it.

There are some AWESOME roads here, so i gotta try and hire a car for the day, get some driving in.

cheers.

yep mate, just workign and living in a pub over here, earn a few pounds then travel on that.

everything here is pretty expensive, so its good to earn thier money, and spend thier money, that way you dont lose to much in conversion from AUD.

Ive got a pretty good normal camera, I didnt bring the digi cam, but i'm sure some of the GTR UK guys do.

I'll keep you all posted.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
