Hey, sorry to necro this again, but a few people went unanswered who wanted one. I saved mine made from lofty before my 33 went to the wreckers. If anyone in WA wants to buy mine they are welcome to make an offer. Doesn't do me any good in the V35 (like I don't have boot space to spear :P).

Just like I said to begin with, and anyone who snapped one up, they are awesome. Save space and fit/look great.

Im just about done making my Carbon Fibre Bandpass box for 2 12" to fit under the rear parcel shelf of a R34 GTT but had some built similar to these before, didnt have enough bass hit for me..lol going for extreme hit with minimal space consumed

the new box is pretty trick, putting it into the Extreme car show next weekend and running 2 SPL contests over the next month

and will post up the results ....and when I get time to run the Spectral Analyzer in the car before hand.

maybe If I can find a donor car to let me mold a box from I can do R32/33 or what ever pro custom box you wanted ?

Approx what size was the box?

What sort of price would this come in at to mold a box/template for a 33? I've been toying with the idea of getting  molds made up to sit in each corner of the boot but not sure if the box volume will be big enough for deep bass hits.

I design boxes for each woofers specs, not generic ones. generic boxes = generic sound

but when the bass enters the boot and cant escape into the cabin properly the bass is muddled and boomy.

now it hits like a hammer in the back.SPL is way up now too. since being ported thru the seat to the inside of the car.

before you ask I have been doing this for more then 15 years pro.

I can see if I can use a car from the wreckers or one of the local guys car for molds. lots of people want them...lol

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      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!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      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!
