Cops seem to be out alot lately, I'm figuring its to do with the numbers game since it's almost June 30. They tend to try and catch up for the EOFY, up til about Sept, when they do as much work as possible, then go somewhere and die for a while.

Spotted quite a few cars all day today. Cops were also out in force. I've been seeing them roaming the roads a lot lately. Everytime I notice red and blue lights behind me I automatically think it's going to be me that they're chasing but every time it happens they always approach the rear of my car slowly and stay behing me for like a minute or so then speed off at like 150kp/h in the right lane again.

Red R34 GT-t along the Princes Fwy on the way to work in the morning whilst caught up in the traffic jam, then a white R32 GTS-t, Silver Evo 7 or 8 and another R34 this time in white all driving along Claredon Street throughout various times of the day. At the end of the day on Cooper Street, Epping I was driving alongside a white R33 GTS-t for a while before I turned off back on to the ring road (god, I miss having an RB), then caught glimpse of a black S15 ADM GT-Spec weaving through traffic along the Western Ring Road around the northern parts, also spotted a white FC RX7 sitting low with awesome looking stance (great fitment) and finally a red S15 Spec-R also along the Princes Fwy as I was approaching Geelong.

Hang on, one more... black R34 GT-t (I think) with ?chromies?! whilst I was turning right to head back home at the interection after I reached the end of the freeway, he was turning left into the small shopping centre complex.

Phew! Tomorrow, a new day of spotting begins again. :)

Also forgot to mention one more. Last one I promise!

I spotted GDZGTR again (actually driving this time, lol. normally I always see it sitting stationary) on the same street in Epping that my mrs lives on when I dropped her off tonight. If you're on here mate I was gonna give you a beep but had already gone too far. I was the white S15 btw. If I see you around again I'll give you a beep/wave :).

I only do them once a week now on weekends cos it's dark when I get home from work during the week :( I do miss doing them nearly daily

You would have seen me but I was driving my sisters excel turning into the middle hotel. My car is chilling at home till the defect is cleared. How often do you do the steps? I'm going to get back into it next week

Clean silver V35 350GT with white-on-black personalised plates drove past my car around midday today which was parked along Coventry Street, Sth Melb.

Had to park in the 45deg angled park all day for around $9 because for the life of me I can't seem to find decent (free) all day parking around that particular area. Yesterday I couldn't find a spot at all so I had to use the underground secure car park which cost me $25 for 4 hours! Cops were everywhere again all day today... It's just going to be a matter of time before I get pulled over again, I can already see it.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
