Me :D

Driving up to the Terrigal going up the Mooney Mooney Bridge and then a little pop then no boost. Hooray no turbo.

I've always said the exhaust needs to be a bit louder and today I got my wish.

For all you people who are running R33/34 turbo's dont run more than 11psi cause that was all that was needed to knock the bastard off.

Alright time for suggestions. My budget is around the $1200 mark.

And I think it was more the kms on the turbo, and not the boost level that caused the exhaust wheel to come off. I ran 1 bar on my R33 GTS-t turbo for more than a year with no problems.

There is a guy in the for sales selling a VG30 high flow for about $370, might be worth a look.  

As for a blower, where would you fit it?

That was me, the VG30 is sold. It should put out 15kw or so more than the rb25 turbo. I am having my turbo rebuilt at the mo. It already had a compressor that was slightly bigger than the VG30 and a rb25 turbine and housing, it already made 225rwkw. I am having it rebuilt with a VG30 turbine and housing. I am chasing slightly better top end.

damn...

not good to hear, and at only 11, well at least you got 20K out of it

im still going to keep using my 11 low and 13 high boost settings

(r34 turbo) :uh-huh: , cause im really not impressed with it until after 10psi (how quickly mods feel slow after you get use to them!)

i'll start my hks2530 turbo fund now :D

Well, to my amazement I decided to have a little sniff around the turbo last week and after taking off the heat sheilds discovered that the bloody wastegate control arm detached itself from the wastegate flap. Phew saved me a few hunge and alot of buggerising around.

Only problem now is that the gasket between the turbo and manifold is busted. If its not one thing its another!!!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
