okay, back to school for me, make that 600.

"The vehicle would have to be brought back to stock standard for compliance under the new import scheme so is best suited for import as a race car -- although compliance is technically possible given the time, effort and funds."

- that would just defeat the whole purpose wouldn't it.

i know.. i am in love, and R32 GTR is her name :) I just love the little touches the japanese put on the cars when they fully tune them, in the engine bay and things like that.

Such a pity such cars can't be brought into the country anymore like that. Returning that thing to stock would be a crime ! No doubt it will go to NZ or somewhere like that, where they are not so stupid about their import laws.

What I am wondering though, is it possible to achieve the same thing in Australia with the right amount of $ for a similar price of around $60k? Take a base GTR of say $20k (89 vehicle) and throw $40k at it, reckon you would get close to 1000hp ?

Some big power gains are starting to be had down under from GTR's - there probably will be more and more GTR running around reaching those 800hp and built here over the next few years I'd say.

...and those that claim the PowerFC isn't as good as the haltech, microtech and all those units can shut their cakehole :)

Yes mate! Yes! A bit of lateral thinking, and it`ll happen.

Aren`t any of the Import Performance shop owners (in Australia of course!!!) interested in it?

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
