Hey guys I have a friend who is still on her L's and she's not really confident to drive on the roads yet (No she's not driving my car lol) she has an Excel.....don't laugh...I know its hard, but anyway I was wondering if anyone knows of a big open space where she wont hit anything (Although i really wouldn't worry about that since I doubt we'll be going fast enough to do significant damage). I know in the Canada IKEA would have massive carparks but I haven't seen such here anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Also something totally unrelated, awhile ago I saw this Deca (or similar video of 2 Skylines battling) I think it was on YouTube, the course seemed like one of the harder teirs, and was wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about, the significant feature of the vid is that the cars were almost in complete unison throughout the course. It was quite amazing and I really want to find and bookmark it, thanks for you help

EDIT: Just realized.....Don't hurt me Lauren! I love Excels I really do....I'm a wannabe Excel owner deep down inside honest!

EDIT2: Were located near the Caulfield East Area

Take her to Shepparton. I hear there is this big skid pan there where you can go nuts all day.

As for Deca, na, never heard of it.

Caufield east? Easy.

Just drive up dandy rd about 10mins or so. There is a masive carpark on the right @ the sandown hotel or whatever. Usually fairly quiet later on @ night on a weeknight. Ensure you have a driver off thier P's though. P's cannot instruct.

As for youtube - just use "DECA SAU" etc as option, you'll find heaps

      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!
