just got an email from Autoworx stating that Alistair (known as arkon on these forums but has since changed it to something else :worship:) is know the new owner of Autoworx Imports on Wangara, which is known for importing fine examples of skylines and many more imports.

Congratulations Alistair, you have 7 years of big shoes to fill but i know your up to it :)

When I was first looking to get an R33 I went to autoworx with it not being far from home, and although I decided to import a car instead, from just from speaking to him about them he set me right on getting one. Might have to pop in next week to wish him luck

yeh ill be popping in aswell to wish him luck,

my dad was skeptical about buying anything that was an import, he talked to paul for 5 mins before coming to get me to choose 1 of 2 silver series 2's lol

my dad wanted to buy an auto for me but Pauls kind words showed him that a manual would have been better (which i agree with :thumbsup:)

any time i go there paul will answer any question i have about my car even if that meant missing out on his lunch

Bought my SII Sedan at autoworx. Paul was a good guy to deal with, kept the shop open for me after hours to come in, as i flew down from Broome that day. Hope you keep up the good service and rep.

Yeah and start complying 1998 JZX100s, and i might buy my next car from Autoworx :thumbsup:

good luck

Quote Paul:

"Why on Earth would you want to keep that piece of shit civic... I mean really mate..."

Said it to my friend.... All class..

It is official, Alistair's old Ceffy was 100x better than my mate's civic...

oi, cheers for the R34 manual Alistair! Good luck aye! I'll have to pop around to pass my gratitude and best wishes on to Paul...

Edited by Marco-R34GTT

bought a r33 turbo 5spd sedan through Paul in '05, definately one of the best in the business.

All the best to the new owner, and if the car bug gets me again, and I want a 33 GTR, I will be back to see Autoworx.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • 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
