Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Confirmed by Bill at ATS. Turbo is definitely rooted. Needs a rebuild. Taking the Stagea off the road for the turbo. :P

While I'm at it, I'll get the front bumper painted and the brakes calipers swapped. :D

did you get a rebuild quote ruby? what parts are included?

$1800 to rebuild my current turbo with new core and turbine housing better matched/machined for my car.

$2200 for a 3071 built for my car specifically.

or

$150 - $300 to go back to a stock turbo.

or

$1300 approx for a second hand 2530 setup.

$1450 for new GT3071R from CRD.

wow 1800 to rebuild? seems the old 2530 setup is the go, i saw that for sale, only 3000k's IIRC.

Yeah well I have a house extension to pay for, so I don't really want to spend $1800. My budget is more like $1200. If it had failed say 2 months ago, I'd have easily spent the money then.

If someone buys my S1 Stagea this week, I'll then have the money for a proper rebuilt/new turbo. :D

Stimulus Info...

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?

A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?

A. Shut up.

I'm saying it'd be around 3k to rebuild my twin turbo's and steel wheel them!! :D

Ruby, can you take the car there or do you have to take off the turbo and take just the turbo there?

taking the turbo off yourself and taking it there will save

a shitload, obviously.

i dare say the 1800 just covers the re-build only

Yeah, thats with me taking turbos off myself and delivering them.

Hey guys, I'm looking at a few Skylines at the moment. Here's one I'm quite interested in.

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=11E6C1973ECE

The owner said he'd go down to $12.5k if I purchased it. I've taken it on 2 test drives, and I am quite interested in buying it. What do you guys think? Except for a Regency check, what other checks should I do?

Bomex kit looks quite different. Judging by the engine bay quality, he's taken more interest in the body rather than the engine! Checked for rust, oil leaks, etc?

What's the Regency check?

There was no rust or oil leaks from what I saw.

The Regency check would be the compliance check.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
