As todays random cruise posed a new challenge for alot of us assembling the letters SAU out of cars and thankyou Col for helping us out with the getting the people inline to move them, We managed to actually get it sorted after about 30 to 45 minutes of work in the confined space of the BW carpark, Big thankyou for those that had patients, we managed to get it done.. Myself and Nismo Have located a better spot for next saturday or sunday to be decided at the moment to achieve a better camera angle as well as better shot and better shots of this harder nature but is in a wider open space so can be easily achievable.

At the moment uploading my pictures to photobucket once done will post into here the link. But for those who took photos please add them below in here

Thankyou

Adam

OK here are mine. Our attempt to replicate the words SAU failed today due to not being able to find a suitable height to take the photos from. Nevertheless, thanks to Adams initiatives, we now know what we need to make this possible. Apologies to all those that turned up and painstakingly endured the burning sun while the whole process took place. Please don't be detered by todays events, we have a much better location in mind, so stay tuned for next week! In the meantime, thanks to all that turned up and enjoy the pics as usual :)

thanks to ben's gf for taking this one while standing on parking meter box.. thanks mate!

looked more like skyline parking game/car yard.. :P

For those who were not there and cant see the formation...

Try this, it might help understand the formation... The top of the "S" was there, just out of sight in this shot...

The original photo;

The modified one, outlineing the "SAU"

Hope this helps... :P

Hi Every one sorry the 34 didnt show her face on this event, next time i will be there for sure. Someone should of climb up the Street light and take a photo, but really need some Height for the photos to take full effect. But over all looked like a really good day, shame i missed out.

Hey guys i saw you all down the coast and also entering the BP at yatala, i was in the orange civic if any of you gurs saw it. Decided to passenger for once...looked like a good cruise.

It was a great way to spend a Sunday. Beautiful weather, great turnout and good to meet up with you guys. Hope we can do it Saturday coming guys. I am leaving on Sunday for a weeks holiday. Anyways, good work organising it Adam.

hey guys sorry wasnt there car had some lil niggles i fixed up sunday, so missed out! def in for next one my friends for sure!! awsome pics lots of great high class rides there.. well done everyone!

    • 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.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
