I know the skyline your talking about but unfortunately I didn't see it. 33 seconds is fairly fast. On Monday there was a 29.xx. It was a new record by one of those old school GP stlye cars.

I have heard that they have public days at Collingrove, don't know much more about it though.

If my rather vauge memory serves me correct, I saw an article on RPM about the N1 you are talking about. The fella is the one that crashed the purple v-spec (nice car that one!! :) ) and bought the white N1 for this years Targa Tasmania.

Apparently he was the only one who could challenge the leading porsche (driven by Jim Richards???).

By the way he was driving it on Saturday, he'd be a good chance to beat him. Looked pretty stock as well, could only spot the Power FC, upgraded suspension, huge brakes and good rubber. Still had stock airbox and a stock looking exhaust.

Hauled ass though - would be good to see a GTR will the Targa!

Steve's N1 is at Tilbrooks getting front end fixed this week.

Unfortunately he had a brake problem & hit a guard rail on the hill climb.I hope they can get it fixed in time for Targa Tasmania in a few weeks.I'll be barracking for him.Any one with spare front end parts let Mark know.

me too! :D .... idea - why don't we have a SAUSA day out there with 'get-to-know-you' style bbq etc as per the orignal BDO idea? .... I'm sure we could hire out the track or something - or join an open day!

      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.
