hey guys,

for this year i will be swapping my standard suspension and handling gear for aftermarket replacements.

Just finished installing the first mod (castor rods) and now im thinking hmmm... should i have greased thoes? just wondering if i should pull them back out, grease them up and what to do about future upgrades. ive heard u can just spray on CRC an that does the job but i want it all done properly.

So what do you guys out there do?

at work i operate alot of machines and its a must to regrease all the joints each morning. because it works its way out apon friction. but these machines are designed with special greasing nipple points. so im thinking if i was to grease these rods and future mods, it would only be a temporary lube before id have to pull them back out again and grease them over. so maybe just regular CRC spray will do... :) ?

The bushes should have come with a small packet of molly grease. Use that, if you don't constantly degrease and/or wash under you car with high pressure then it will last at least a year before you need to regrease it. Don't chuck the half used packet, you will get 2 or 3 re-greases out of it.

Cheers

hey sk, i bought the d-project adj castor rods from drift shop. unfortunately they didnt come with any grease. but now i know to go and find myself some molly grease :/

but like i said in my second post, it makes sence that the grease works its way out of the joint apon friction... hopefully i have some teflon lining in them. ill have to have a closer inspection now because i dont remember seeing any.

cheers a mil gary :rofl:

    • 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!
