FMIC on standard turbo is crap.

When i had mine fmic fitted to standard turbo ( i also had SAFC) - it destroyed the car..... was a much nice and quicker car to drive with standard IC. I decided to piss the car off instead of replacing turbo and the like.

It just left aq bad taste in my mouth.

Paul,

YOu know people buy kidneys/internal organs for large sums of cash! (read: 25k for a kidney!) now there's a gauranteed source of income....

until you run out of shit to sell.....

mmm, embalmy!

If im older and I don't need mine, im putting them on eBay!

yep .... just wasnt happy with it, had comp retuned and few other times tried to make it "nicer" but in the end i just didnt like it.... so waved the bitch goodbye.....

Daniel

PS - thanks Kim for the compliment. ;->

macka has run a 12.98 on one of your crappy 'high-flowed' turbos which still stands as the fastest R33 gtst on the forum i believe. he makes full boost by 3500rpm which alot more driveable than the 4500rpm lagmonsters going around today. do some research cos i believe you are the one 'dribbling shit'

So you've obviously talked to macka to find that he's had months of issues finding the right match of compressor/exhaust housing's to compressor/exhaust wheels. He's also had issues with compressor surge, so all the time and money he's spent dont you think it would have been easier to just buy an aftermarket turbo? Go for a drive in paul's car and tell me its a lag monster... just remember to bring a spare pair of jocks.

does the name GCG turbochargers mean anything to you? i dont think they would be so successful if high flows were so 'shit'... there are plenty of people making 350 at the wheels with alot better driveability on these high flows.

back to the original argument tho, have we all agreed now that for 5,000 you cant replace the turbo.

How much do GCG charge to "hi-flow" a turbo?

Nissan GTS-T R32 & R33 Upgrade of Standard Turbocharger:-

The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models. The upgrade comes in two stages.

XTRGTST-STG1 450hp rated $2250.00

XTRGTST-STG2 500hp rated $2450.00

Taken direct from their site. Oh gee, why dont I send off my turbo and for $2250 I can get it "hi-flowed" to 450hp... get real, you're best of buying a gt28 or a gt30.

hey adam try toning down your comments and stop being so confrentational!

and just so you know macka doens't have the fasts R33 gtst

that goes to some guy in qld who has run a 12.8

then theres the vic guy whos run an 11 but hes has a

Actually you gotta do a helluva lot better than a 12.98 in a GTS-T to be at the top of the list nowadays. Take a look at my thread here (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=22444)

R33 GTS-T

01. 12.260 = Buster (1.85 60ft, 118.30mph)

02. 12.380 = matlowth (2.38 60ft, 123.45mph)

03. 12.408 = WET33 (1.98 60ft, 111mph)

04. 12.412 = Merli (2.03 60ft, 114.47mph)

05. 12.900 = BOOSTD (2.2 60ft, 111.49mph)

06. 12.988 = macka (2.25 60ft, 113.35mph)

That 12.260 was done with ~320rwkw with more power to go so a 12-flat isn't far from happening. It looks like Macka has the power just not the traction to put down a -really- good time. If he could get a 2.0 60ft a 12.5 would be on the cards. Still though I personally would be happy with any <13.0sec daily driven GTS-T.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
