If you dont like cops you know what you need to do... Go and get really really rich doing stuff, then go out and buy a real mafioso car that is really fast and can outrun cop cars no worries, like a E55 AMG or something, make sure its jet black (and bullet proof).Then ring up Vicroads and go and get your self this plate...

That'll ruffle some feathers. Then you'll have nothing to worry about!! sif a cop will pull you over with that plate!?

Victorian police seem to be still in the middle of an "it's us against them" attitude.

Maybe it's a left over from the hoddle street bombing. Remember all those crims that somehow got shot while trying to be arrested? Not that I'm really sympathetic for them. If someone blew up a few of my workmates, I'd be pissed too.

But a side effect is that vic police closed ranks, and pretty much formed a solid block. Not a bad thing, but in a line of work where it IS often a matter of life and death, it magnifies the effect a hundred fold. It's gotten to a level where it seems they're segregating themselves from the society they are here to protect.

I know there are some police on these forums who are great people, and they might have a different viewpoint on this, but htis is just my personal observations in my interactions with police over the last decade (both in my work and in my personal life).

No doubt being a cop is a tough job. I know I wouldn't want to be the one to knock on someones door at 3am to tell them their kid died in a car smash, but it doesn't mean they can become little despots on the roadways either.

If this guy is truly being un reasonable, report him through proper, official channels. Maybe he wanted to make a point that you were not going to get special treatment. I've made reports based on officer behaviour before, I had one cop become very aggressive to the point of verbal abuse, I filed the report and they called me a week or so later to tell me that the guy had just come from a domestic violence situation that ended up with an 8 year old being in hospital and badly burned. He sent me a written apology and also called me on the phone. I'm a reasonable guy, so I let it go at that.

Most cops aren't bad people, but their bad days are worst than most of ours. Not that it's an excuse to act like an arsehole to anyone, but it can be a contributing factor. The cop in this situation seemed like an OK guy over the phone. Either that or an awesome bullshitter.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
