on second inspection they cant touch ya for anything else not seen first time round

Yes, but whats the point of having defectable items, that can be picked on as soon as you leave the door? If the ic piping is illegal, then fix it, and stay out of regency for good.

Iv never hade to go to regency so might be stupid But do they take ride hight from the lowest part of the car or from center of wheel to wheel arch?

Its not both. 100mm minimun clearance to the ground for the lowest point of the car, and then there is a set height from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch. There is also an eye brow height as well it think.

Its very wise to keep the heat shield on the turbo.

Radiant heat is a killer for your heater hoses. Should they spring a pin prick leak (as Troy's found out the hard way) glycol sprayed in a fine mist is highly flammable.

As for the front facing plenum... It alters emissions as the inlet is essentially used by car manufactures to tune a motors torque at various rpm. So yes it is defectable.

your right its actually depending on what sort of cop you get and how much he knows then to every defect question theres alot of differant answers >_<

Yeh but remember it only takes a cop to assume things and your back anyways! I guess it would only make your own life easier to replace stuff after!

    • 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!
