thinking about changing to one of these

wait till you throw a balance shaft on the 4g63, mine did off idle , a very common problem, destroyed the block in seconds. and the all wheel drive fuel economy sucks.

mitsu dependability :cool:

turbo failure a few months later, and a few clutches, gearboxes, and transfer cases later.. good thing it was only a daily not a racer, or it would have never made it to the race track...daily driver, hell it was broken down more then it worked..lol

and that was on a basically stock tune evo/vr4 drive train, not a highly tuned monster.

plus R34 prices have fallen into the toilet for resale ?

go for the Lada..lol they come with duct tape and bailing wire to make them last forever..lol

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

Did they let you drive it away from there? When I changed over rego at Regency on my old MX6 in 2002 they gave me a razor blade and told me to get the tint off on the spot, else get a tow.

Sounds like a light angle grind on each side then a shifter spanner or locking pliers Dave. Works a treat!

lol sounds like my issues dave, sinergy put my tires on and obviously used the wrong size socket on my expensive blue alloy lug nuts. had two rounded out in a big way, they went thru the trouble of filing them off after they got them off to remove the burr they left . only issue was it shows bad on blue nuts when the rest of it is shiny alloy.... trained monkeys , a socket must fit tight on the lugs or the rattle gun kills them when you hit the trigger, its not rocket science ????

Oh damo,, its always better to piss(hear about issues) before you shit(buy a piece of shit)

you could always buy a forden executurd...lol

AFAIK those sites are live, so once u submit an ad it is up for the length of time that u pay for (much like ebay)

Or enclose the bottom of the VE, put a few fins on, and turn it into the boat that it is. RWKW? I think not. How many killerwasps do you have at the prop man?

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
