While I remember, just a word of warning...

For those thinking of driving down from Sydney, I wouldn't recommend taking the Skyline...

For the last few years, the local constabulary from Goulburn and their buddies from both the EPA and RTA have taken pleasure in setting up a 4 day blitz/defect station at the Marulan heavy vehicle checking station on the Hume Hwy.

Basically they pull over anything that looks remotely modified and go over it with a fine tooth comb with the bastards dishing out the defects like all their Christmas's have come at once.

My brother copped $800 worth of relatively minor/stupid defects on his car on the Friday morning and the place was chock full of cars when I passed it early on the Sat morn (fortunately I didn't take the line!).

No doubt they'll be there again this year, so be careful...

ahh damn.... hopefully i find another car to take down otherwise it will make it 2/2 summernats that i get fined for something.

yeah good idea reddrifter. we should get something organised.

any of you guys that arent staying with family or anything booked accomodation yet?

OMG!!!!! :O

Thanks for the warning :thanks:

That would start your weekend off so badly getting a defect :D

Well lucky as werent planning to take the skyline going to take the normal car and will have 4 of us in it as well..

Definatly want to meet up with most of you guys at a pub or have dinner somewere together :happy:

If anyone knows a good pub or resturant??? Or I might go hunting myself let me know and I will organise something for us so we can all meet up prob the saturday night would be best for us as we are getting down there Friday sometime :)

Saturday is the best day at the showground from 9am till about 1am that nite. Watch all the events etc throughout the day then at night time the main show is on in the arena and then the adult entertainment begins live on stage at midnight.

:D:thanks::happy:

    • 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!
