wat about wat wheels they run.. been tryin to find a pair of 15x8's or 15x9's for some slicks for a while now.... havent found any that clear r33 gtst rear calipers

I can't remeber their width, but they're certainly not 9's, more like 7 or 7.5, but we used to run Ford ED/EF factory alloys (Fairmont or XR6 I think) on the blue 33. Might be worth a look mate.

Jambo was an awesome event. As luck would have it our transporter was parked next to Reece's, and the PWR tent backed onto the Kiwi boys tent. When we where packing up on Sun evening got to have a really good chat with Reece his old man and his head tuner and mech. I tell you those guys are clued in and have some serious plans, there limiting factor is NZ tracks so expect to see the car back here very soon.....

I will write a post later with a few of the topics that were discussed....

Congrats to the boys on a massive effort.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
