I'd think you could get a turbo one for not much more, especially if you have cash and no trade. And there is a world of difference between the two models.

Turbo would set him back at LEAST another 3-4k for a series 2 though, unless he's not fussed on what series he gets. :)

3k is not much these days though, you can earn that [gross] inside a month or two. Sh1t most credit cards have a bigger limit.

Plus in 12 months time 3-4k is nothing, BUT an NA is still an NA, for that 3k you get a hellva lot more car.

agree with the above statement...maybe he is red p plater or something.if not id buy the turbo because b4 long you will get sick of n/a and want turbo it.then u will spent more than what it would have cost to buy turbo in the 1st place

Can't agree more; I guess it depends on his age/financial status.

As everyone has mentioned, try and scrape that extra few k's together and grab a turbo mate. If you want skyline you have to do it right. :domokun:

correct me if im wrong..but my theory is that all non turbo skylinez are going to go up in value once the new turbo lawz come out in july...just the simple fact that people my age gunna want skylinez but cant drive them coz they are turbo so theres going to be a demand for more non turbos, does anyone agree?

Yes.. It's getting old now constantly seeing the responses on here with people saying how even a s2 11.5k n/a skyline is over priced..

They're most likely the ones who have a lot more resources available to them in terms of parts for cheaper prices, so they go hunting for lower priced cars and tend to save a bit by fixing them up themselves.. Not everyone is in the same boat as them and wants to either fix up a car, or go through the importing process. So 11.5k is a hell of a deal if it's in good shape. Especially if it's from a car-yard who might also be able to offer you free servicing etc for 2 years or something similar.

If you can afford a turbo, but your parents say no, get it anyway lol

i have to agree with the parentals there dude... i'd NEVER let a p plater in my 33 gtst, its way too much car for a driver that only THINKS they are experienced... no offence intended... :D

f**k i'm old :P

    • 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!
