Hey guys,

This 180sx with the massive power run - could someone steer me in the direction of a list of engine bits? Thanks :P

AWESOME looking stand there - why is it almost every pic i see of you guys there's alcohol? :)

most people have taken shots that I have...but I selected a few that would be good for the ones in the shot...except berin cos he has 1000 shots of himself with chicks!

Archies car spearheads the stand..although the datto was the most popular for sure.

Who did win the best club? SAU would have been the biggest there surely?

Any 1 know what trophies the "PHATASS" R32 won?

My rx8 is the red 1 with MISSSK.

EZZY plates on the orangy RX8 belongs to Ezzy Astina's owner

Yep yep, hes my best mate. He couldnt make it this weekend, hes back in Syd, so I had fun with his car. His astina still exists... in bits and pieces in his garage

Good stuff! I probably saw your car also in the pics, and thought they were one and the same.

Pity bout the stina, know if its gonna get rebuilt or is the RX8 the new project?

Astina got defected big time, turbo has been sold, along with other things also, so basically wont ever really be rebuilt i dont think..... Erics keeping his RX8 pretty low key (well compared to ezzyastina!!)

/\/\/\ pffft, low key, isnt that what we all say at the start :)

With a base like that u could go NUTS so easy!! Must be hard 4 u too eh?

U wouldnt believe how many times this year I said I wouldnt do more mods. its an addiction lol

    • 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. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
