fking hell, b-manned it already! you're an animal.

sorry to hear about your loss B-man. still give it another 14 months it'll be good as new....

well at least you can slap on a smaller turbo and enjoy some powa when it's back on the road. what did it end up making with the lag machine on there though?

It was road tuned - (good tune too) - So not a chance to put it on the Dyno - I was going to arrange this with Craved - but now, will have to wait till the rear wheels are able to spin again......

its a pain that it locked up, i had a crown wheel bolt come loose and evacuate throught the hat on parra road, just had it rebuild, towed car home ripped it out and the dude that put the 2way in fixed it up, hope it as simple for you, dont stress about the drive shaft moving over and stuffing your suspension, id say the the movement would have been taken up by the uni joints.

  • 4 weeks later...

Got a whole rear cradle for S13 for $50 of evil bay - seems like a deal too good to be true - absolutely complete with everything - cradle, sway bars, hubs, brakes, suspension, discs - the lot

Gonna fab it into the S13

Should be an interesting project......

in regards to ur search for KKR turbos and turbo housings i would suggest www.otomoto.com.au or u can go to their shop @ UNIT 3 8 york road ingleburn they have a wide range of KKR turbos and other KKR products as well im pretty sure they may have what ya after but heaps bad luck bout that mate.....

Thanks - but I am after KKK turbo stuff - not KKR.

KKK is a German brand - Blitz rebrands them too - And they are used on Porsches, Audis and BMWs.

In actual fact - I got exactly what I needed from US E-Bay -

THe porka blokes told me that a K26 rear housing and wheel would fit onto my K27 centre and turbine - resulting in full spool by about 3500 - perfect

The 924 and 950 boys do it the other way around though - their cars come with K27 - and they stick a K27 turbine housing and wheel on their turbos for more power at about the same spool !

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
