hey all,

just wondering can any1 comfirm info on warnys car thats up for sale?

Td06 with forgies for 23k...

who was the previous owner?

what shop did the work?

and hows it been kept from what you sau guys know?

keen on buying it

cheers guys.

fitted the TD-06 beginning of the year after selling the gt350 turbo it had before(check my trade record)

Td-06 was rebuilt by grant with better internals (low mount for sleeper effect)

Tial wastegate was chosen cos trust gates too big and i hate the name turbosmart (no offense)

has been well kept and most workshops will know it if you drove there.

Glen(hyperdrive) was the tuner (when i fiddled with the settings ;)

it was one of the first WA cars with forgies (GTRKEN calls it the $3000 piston car lol)and has had forged internals all its life.

car came in 1999 with 8000ks and sat between a maserati and lexus as a weekend toy/autosalon showcar .- its a late 1997 build so this is not fake.

friend left and sold to another bloke who also left country.

car was sitting in backyard when I heard it was for sale from evolution R

Evolution R did all the checks and bargaining and we had it from 40,000km+

changed a LOT of stuff on it that i didnt like( u will notice the number of stereo installs it has had e.t.c).

removed a little stuff before selling ;)

kept in contact with new owner for further assistance but havent heard from him lately (sup danny)

Only major drama was clutch problems=plates that need replacing cos we rode the clutch/drag combat (fabian) spigot bush/warping plates etc (replaced by imports 101 twice)

has a brand new clutch according to workshop i visited that worked on it recently(supertec)

most major skyline dramas like power steering pump rebuilds have been done(perth gearbox & clutch)

umm the list of stuff is pretty accurate except for a few gliches like the blowoff is a apexi twin chamber and the intercooler is the oldskool big end tank trust cooler (unless changed after sale)

everything else is there for sure (u can hear the tomei pump buzzing........LOL)

ITS ONE MEAN CAR. (no ABS)

hope that helps.

Evolution R will have most of the reciepts (maybe) but the rebuild was 12k and total of other stuff was 47k(when japanese parts were ridiculously priced). but these have changed, eg it used to have wise sports 19 inch wheels but now has 5zigens and thats the third exhaust (went from twin to single and back to twin).

had sparco bucket seats before and r33 gtr brembos (sold em cos needed spacers). do luck suspension braces (taken off). CDT audio speakers(replaced) and has had four interior retrims(trimcare) etc so u may not see where all the money has been spent

Mao at evolution r will confirm all this if he can be bothered to do so (u will have to pester him)

did not get it from rob 77 steve. surprised it is sick because the rebuild reciepts/wastegate custom job is less than a year old and been running 0.9 bar, but u would know better. As far as im concerned the turbo was perfect (talk to Grant hes the turbo expert and will show $$ worth of work). and the frontpipe was custom made by andre(xspeed)

I know he didnt buy it from Rob but its the turbo that was on that car in the past but was replaced by Full throttle for Jeff Issac.I think its getting a new Turbo 2morro.

when u talk about 'he' who do u mean? im a lil confused cos ............. AH WELL!!! heres where THAT turbo came from WHEN I fitted it.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...493&hl=kidd

sat in evolution R for a while, car getting other attention

after that needed FULL rebuild(peace of mind). 'minimal' shaft play just didnt cut it :)

Grant guaranteed it was 'better than new"

fitted with adaptor and new front pipe :)

internal gate didnt work(I was warned) :D

thought it was avc-r (it wasnt)

TIAL external gate custom fitted :)

frontpipe custom made :)

few issues solved (custom metal gaskets-manifold inspected for leaks etc)

started missing old turbo(car was off road for total 6wks flat & in and out 3 weeks)

rest is history :)

moral of story= its cheaper to buy a new turbo kit (trust me)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
