Have either of you seen or bought from this company before. Yer i know a $1100 turbo will be good but tbh why not Dare to be different lol.

Worst case Scenario the thing blows and i get an excuse for a full rebuild lol.

I was posting on here to see if anyone had bought from the company before and had some actual feedback to give on the products.

Cheers C

Hey chris, good to see ya on the forums :)

yeah i'd stay away from monsta if I were you. we've had people come into the workshop with their manifolds which have misaligned bolt holes, badly cut gaskets and bad casting... and one person with a wastegate that was leaking from factory.

The VL boys here in melbourne seem to have it in their heads that this is a good product, and are often the ones conned into buying them. they're cheap and nasty. they ship quick and have a streamlined system, but their products are horrible.

Cheers Funky ur a star mate was all i was lookin for well back to the idea's of an Rb30 lump then lol. So am guessin they are the equivalent to the Xs power crap we get over here then

Cheers Bud ur a legend

Those turbo's are bad very very bad, i have heard storied of the turbo destroying itself after 10,000km then getting them rebuilt and only lasting another 5,000km due to the inferior metals and build quality plus i know monsta claim that the turbos are balanced when they are made but im starting to get they impression they the person who does the balancing doesnt actually know how to operate the machine.

eyah most of those cheaper turbos arent balanced, thats where the main problems come from. look at KKR turbos instead, still cheap and chinese but with proven reliability

that said, go do a quick search on calaisturbo.com.au you'll find a few threads on monsta, alot of people say they are unreliable etc, but they're are quite a few people on there using em, only posting good things, so meh, who knows

I know its not a turbo but i bought a set of dumps..and they were absolute shit. They look good until you try and fit them, bolt holes dont match, bend and angles all wrong.

Have some respect for your skyline and dont put monsta shit on it.

Thanks lads will take ur advice on board.

Auch TBH lads i spent some serious cash on me brief cosmetically. I aint gonna cut corners at this stage to have a lovely car parked up. The lads at Knight racer are pretty well Connected and will hook me up with some tuners here was jus caught up in the bling bling lol but nah not worth it.

Cheers Guys mucho appreciated great site Btw will be stickin round more often if thats ok!!!!

Cheers BigC82

Hey BigC!

I just checked out your work-in-progress.

It is looking sweet! Keep it up :banana:

Thanks matey although she's now home and i have fitted the C/f wing mirrors and half my 19's lol. Waitin on Spacers and extended nuts for the front so all good.

Will update with more pics when i can really happy with how she turned out in the end!

Have also ordered Carbon Spark plug cover, Cam cover and Carbon blade and End caps for the spoiler.

Tint the windows and i think....i think lol that's me for this season but hey will probably not stop there haha.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
