My r33gtst s1 has gone a bit loopy. For no reason, with no recent mods at all, I used my front windscreen washer. The wipers came on but no water. I figured the bottle was empty. Then i noticed that my back window was wet. Now it sprays the back and wipes the front, or sprays the front and wipes the back. What? I have owned 30 year old cars before and none of those went senile

sounds like someone swapped your hoses over under the hood or swapped the plugs in the pumps . my car has two pumps out of the same washer bottle . fronts and rear . sounds very coincedental that they would both still work but the wrong way round

lol!

You generally can't interchange the plugs on the motors so probably the outlet hoses have been swapped. Did it always work like this? Have you had a front passenger side repair recently?

I did the same thing a while back... took the washer bottle out to do something, put it back in withthe hoses reversed. swapped them back and all fixed. or if you're lazy, you may be able to just swap the plugs over, IIRC they're identical, just different coloured on the 33...

Yeah ok fair call it was just the hoses swapped. I forgot i did that one when installing the front mount with low light, mates with questionable "advice" and as i seem to recall, no less than 2 cartons of beer, without which mates refuse to get their hands dirty. Thank god that mystery has been solved, i can sleep at night again. cheers guys

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      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!
