Attn scandy;

How much was your turbo rebuild and hiflo and where did you get it done again? Looking at buying some N1's that are in need of rebuild cheap and sussing my options if its even worth buyin haha

your best (cheapest) bet is to find a pair of blown ceramics and sending them over to Antimatter in melb and get them rebuilt. Hes doing a pair for me at the moment (which i need to get off my arse and pay him the rest of the cash i owe him)

best thing is, if its in the original gtr turbo housing, regency wont know any difference

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

i was reminded this evening why i rarely drive the s14 to work. people stopping dead in front of me at 80km/h in a merging lane when they have more than ample room to merge, ive had to jump on the skids because i dont have the room to skirt around him, and the guy behind me has had to spear off the side of the road, and the guy in front had the nerve to jump out of his shitbox and abuse me for 'not knowing how to drive.'

f**k i hate shit people.

n1's are bb yeah? rebuild kit is $1300 or something for a bb. dunno. could be wrong.

got it done through hypergear (check on ns.com), standard rebuild was $400, highflow was $800.

got an irritating as all f**k knock in the front left corner on right hand turns and hard lefts.

rather concerning when youre doing the uh... speed limit through the hills and you hear that.

^ Hey Scandy.

It could be your wheels hitting the struts? or wheel guard... why that side? maybe it could be due you Adelaide poor camber roads :P

or... you hit the corner hard?

or a leaky strut?

hope that helps....

ps; SwineFlu sucks... a whole week off isnt as good as it seems, you sleep all the time and just plain bored!

no leaky strut, checked that. plenty of wheel-sturt clearance, enough wheel-guard clearance for it to not be that (only scrapes on hard bumps), so im at somewhat of a loss. matty suggested it could be ball joints. seems likely. i reckon theyre oem...

You can buy brand new -5's for less than that.

How much man? I will have a daily soon so I'll just rip my turbos off and send them away if the price is good?

PM me if you dont want it on the forum.

You'll have to PM him for a quote for his labour and parts as Im not sure what the prices are like atm, and if you want to buy a pair of turbos I'll have my stockers for sale after the new ones are fitted, but we're talking a couple months here

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
