got a yellow and going over the pits probably tuesday.

the motor has been rebuilt and u can obviously hear that its got big cams in it.

if the examiner asks whats in the motor, should i just tell them that i dont know, or that it just has cams?

it also has a high mount turbo.

hope i dont get into too much trouble.

No point asking interstate people about passing the pits.

The regulations we have here in WA are pretty tame compared to those in the eastern states.

Claim the motor is a standard GTR motor, with standard GTR cams and management.

The guys at the pits don't care too much about internal shit, and if the wastegate is plumbed back the high-mount will pass easily as well.

They're more concerned about height, suspension, oil leaks, noise, tint.

Make sure all of these are legal before you go anywhere near the pits.

yeah got the exhaust done on wednesday, it now has gate plumbed back, 2 mufflers, a cat and realllly quiet! even the bee*r limiter doesnt make any noise!

but lost quite a bit of performance. and it now sounds like a porshe lol.

ill tell them its all stock then.

but would the turbo / manifold need a engineer to look at it?

can you turn the idle up a bit maybe 1200? might seem a bit smoother just tell them youve been meaning to turn it back down but never got around to it. take it there warm and there is no way they will pick up any internal motor differences like forgies not that they would be illegal anyway

    • 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!
