Everyone take note and be carefull

Last wednesday night I was driving home from the shops at about 6:45 pm, when I noticed a dark navy ford xR8 following me very close... Then then came within inches of my car and then flashed their high beems... I slowed down, thinking I was being pulled over by the cops...

As I slowed I realised they had no lights, not anything to show me it was a police car, so i sped back up to just over the limit, this time they sped up behind me, high beeming me and tried to get up beside my car... they strated to move to the left while on my rear quater in an attempt to move me off the road. I heard a light bang as they touched just beside my right rear rim, I have a crack in my rear bar and some scuffing... This happened 2 more times and it was obvious they were trying to push me off the road or stop me...

I put my foot down enough to keep in front and keep them from touching my car for the next 800 metres, not slowing much for round-abouts... I came to the round-about that I would normally turn left to go home on, and went right as I did not want them to follow me all the way home...

As i was turning right and heading into another road, they went THE WRONG WAY around the round about and tried to block me in... At this point it became very scarey! I proceeded to lap the round about and head towards my house at high speed to loose them as they turned around...

Luckily I was able to evade them and come out safely... The car was full with at least 4 male passengers from what I could see... Police are going to patrol the road looking for similar vehicles and any suspicious behaviour.

:P

guess you didn't get their number plate either.. might have been difficult though - hard to think clearly in those situations.

i had the same over the weekend actually, but he was like 70 so i don't think that really counts as a carjacking :P he was juzt stoopid trying to merge into me even while i was looking right at him!

If I was in that situation, I would drive to the nearest police station, pull in and start to walk inside. They could do what ever they like to my car while I run inside to get the cops. I would actually probably ring 3364 6464 first to warn them that I was heading to that police station and to have someone out the front.

well i know that area pretty dam well.

their the best roundabout hey smoothline. hehe.

thats not good. thats why you must carry wepons in your car.

i live at monterey keys. some dodgy ppl come past slow right down and look into my garage. i jump out and write down their regos, got a peice of paper with 6 number plates on it. but i think most of them are house shopping.

its bad when you own such a nice car and either somthign happends to it or someone else wants it.

mmm guess i better upgrade to something a little more beefy than the flexible intercooler clamp screwdriver

i had a run in with some foreigners on those rented scooters.. i was in the passenger seat of a car and they were riding in the lane next to us swerving at us and each other

long story, but i dont any thing apart from a huge knife, 14" blade, but its hard cause by the time you stop it still takes a good 10secconds to rip out. i say jsut go nuts at em.

i had another wepon but my bro got it confiscated, and the cop kept it for his own use. long story.

but i pitty anyone that tries to mess with any of my mates.

    • 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.
