well im pretty pissed of today as i was reversing out of my garage (how unlucky is this) my garage decided it would be a good idea to just fold and come crashing down right onto of my skyline...as my car was in reverse it kept going so scratching it deeply from the end of the roof (near rear window) all the way til it hit my sunroof which was in a tilted position and that wedged itself into one of the groove of the garage and pretty much ripped out one of the rails...might i add this is an electric roller door, so then i stopped the car jumped out put the garage on manual, and drove my car foward to release it from my sunroof then it just went stright onto my roof and wedged my car inbetween..i was like f**k couldnt move it as it was out of the rails luckily my mate had rang me whom was around the cornor, came over and helped me get my car out, finally did that and the grabbed my neighbour whom is a handyman and he helped fix my garage so now its pretty much ok bit bent but ok...but my car omg the roof is just scratched to shit, im just so cut after you get it running mechanically fine something like that happens pure bad luck so that just tops of the rest of my shitty ass week.....any one have any idea what i would be looking at to get the roof resprayed?

oh f**k , my dad had that happen but not to that extreme, he was backing out and sat on the remote to the roller door.

landed on the boot, lucky he had these thick rubber strips on the door, and the door realised there was a car there and went back up.

seen in XXX bodykits window on Cheltenham road Keysborough. '$750 respray any car' .. somthing like that

do you have house insurance? a friend had some gear stolen out of his wifes car and the house insurance covered it due to the car being on the property when the stuff was stolen. excess may be cheaper then paying for it outta your own pocket.

^^^^ Doesn't matter dude, your insurance will still cover it, well if your insurance company is a good one it will. Exact same thing happened to a mate of mine in Taylors hill the other week, High wind screwed his garage (panel roller) and he didn't know. Opened door up started to drive out and the thing let go and crashed onto his car! His house insurance covered it.

Can't hurt to call them to see

    • 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.
