Come on softy... he's only got 3.5 SECONDS and 100MPH on you!

would love to score a run with Victor Bray actually....that would be a blast.

Racing someone who you look up to with so much respect and admiration for would be awesome.

Would be akin to Duncan racing Jim Richards around Bathurst or Theo Wollett racing Theo Wollett! :laugh:

What day(s) are you racing at Willowbank on? I shall try and head down for some SAU moral support :)

2nd and 16th of Jan.

The Bray's are out of our class now but still quite a few 6 sec cars to race against :D

Would be good to see some support for the Nissan's. Hopefully Mark's car will be ready for the event on the 16th...full tilt at the world record is on the cards if we get it finished.

Good luck Paul, don't be scared to hold it flat!!!

:)

Held it flat...no clutch...broke 3rd-4th selector in the dogbox. :P

Box out on monday to modify/repair...back racing on the 16th. :geek:

Back to clutching it...at least then i can bring it home in one piece.

Need to purchase the uber expensive ex-HRT ignition cut gearknob and control box if i want to flatshift it. Until then its back to using the clutch to unload the drivetrain between gears.

Car is making huge power and sounds like an animal. The anti-lag blew a nice hole in my Trust PE-II exhaust on the dyno the other night while testing it. :)

Unlucky mate, hope you can save the exhaust at least! Did it part at one of the v-band flanges?

Good luck in getting it sorted for the 16th.

the hole blew out at the rear...right on the bend before the rear muffler....the bang wanted to go straight out not turn the corner and go out the rear.

the selector is a PPG billet item...will be re-engineering it to make it stronger. The box itself is a-ok.

HAHAHA NICE! 

thems the breaks!

yeah i always say..."if you can't afford to break it...you can't afford to race it"

I think there may have always been an issue with the box...ive only ever got one good pass out of it since ive fitted it.

Ill call Simon at PPG tomm. and see if i might be putting the wrong oil in it...just to rule that out.

    • 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!
