Does anyone have details on how I can get my car in this comp if it is ready in time.

Although I'll be cutting it close to have the car ready (Ie. Engine will hopefully be ready Wed and in the car Wed night), if it is ready, I really wanna compete in the HP challenge.

Does anyone know if they'll be using a 2wd or 4wd so that I can either put the front shaft in or leave it out of the car.

Also, how are running times organised? Are you allocated a time on either day or is it along the lines of "Take a number and wait yr turn".

If the car is ready, I'll let someone know ASAP and organise me a little space for my car.

Any help would be appreciated.

James,

Thanks for the info. Please confirm that it is a 4wd dyno coz I don't wanna get there with the front shaft in there to find that it is a rwd dyno and I'll have to get under the car with a trolley jack and put the shaft off.

Also, what's the latest I can let you know whether I'm gonna make it. It's looking pretty good at the mo but we all know that things with cars can turn pear shaped very quickly.

INASNT, Power at this point is undecided. I don't wanna blow my engine again, but I'm willing to say that the figure will be as high as I can get it without blowing shite up.

Rajab unfortunately isn't around anymore and I'm not really gonna be in the dyno challenge to gauge how my car is compared to other GTRs in Vic or AU.

NSW Autosalon's winner had 456rkwk and NZ had 380rwkw.

I'm interested as these were measured in RWKW and not @ all 4 wheels which means that if I compete with VLs and the like, they'll have an advantage due to less drivetrain loss.

Quite true but it ain't a 6 cylinder car and it certainly ain't a GTR which I'm comparing myself to.

Also, my car is still driven on the road and raced. How many other cars do you know with stupid HP do the same?

What I really need to know though is whether anyone can confirm this is gonna be a 4wd or 2wd dyno.

As for being able afford to fixing it all the time, I think not.... :D

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • 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!
