Thanks!

Yep, it had P's on it

You work at Rue bar or something?

I remember seeing a Black 33 with a GTR wing in their carpark there

Yeah that was me, working at ivanhoe hotel atm. what tint are your windows (guessing darkest legal) cause im considering getting mine done and yours seem pretty nice shade.

yeah it goes alright

You sure it's just ALRIGHT? :D

Well done on the purchase dude. Ben is one of the most fussy pricks I know when it came to keeping that car clean... it's in top condition. The hks ssqv BOV is most annoying :banana:

Matt you know you want that BOV... :(

Tharaka that looks awesome, nice purchase buddy!!!

Hope to see you and the car soon.

So is it a "hiflow VG30" or a "hiflow RB25 with a VG30 ext housing"?

My old turbo (RB25 with a VG30 ext housing) has been fitted to an R34, with an untouched std engine, for the last 2 years. It's making about 273rwkw on 15psi, without any issues, and this guy uses all it's ponies :O. More boost didn't see substantial increases, so 270rwkw is about it's limit.

It is a VG30 Hi Flow. :O

On 15 psi, it hits 250rwkw.

Lolz...its ben's car...congrats mate...that has got to be the luckiest R34 around as it had the pissiest and weakest owner before you...i've never seen a car which had an easier life...ben did not do the car justice and it took the rest of us to bring out the car's best...but seriously...great buy...now whack the boost up on that sucker...

Well said. Never did do the car justice. I can't drive, didn't push it to it's best.

Before you 'whack' the boost up, make sure the tune is up for it.

Been in that car... lovely piece of work! From what I heard you got a bargain too... with all the other goodies he threw in. Enjoy. Dont lose your licence again.

Hmmmm when did u get into that car?

Yeah that was me, working at ivanhoe hotel atm. what tint are your windows (guessing darkest legal) cause im considering getting mine done and yours seem pretty nice shade.

Yes it is the darkest legal tint. ALMOST illegal. :D

It is a VG30 Hi Flow. >_<

On 15 psi, it hits 250rwkw.

Oh, why didn't you go hi-flow rb25(neo) turbo? Would have made more power again, as the VG30 turbo has a smaller compressor cover/wheel.

I don't believe this turbo will be capable of much more than 250kw, due to comp wheel/cover sizing:

"240@12psi"

"250@15psi"

- 3psi increase for 10kw, indicates that turbo is passing it's efficiency level.

Don't get me wrong 240rwkw is awesome, but i wouldn't stress the engine more, by increasing boost, just for 10rwkw.

No but I did, several times, when I drove Ben's car. hahaha :D The stock brakes did feel a little soft, but overall a lovely car to drive.

LOL!!! SEVERAL times?? didn't remember you did that SEVERAL times >_<

Yeah i never took it past 3,000 rpms :banana:. Dave you're spot on :w00t:

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
