If you were in Melbourne I could get it done for around $300-350 + $40 for machining the flywheel.

Around $250 thumbsup.gif

If you bring a flywheel and clutch with you, ready to be installed, I will do it for you for $250.

Im not a mechanic, but feel free to speak to Jez about if Im capable of or what not.

Am in Bankstown, just PM if your interested.

Yeah Canberra sucks price wise

But it makes up for things such as not many defects etc.

Birds and ARTZ we could always have said race in Canberra and at the same time do a 3 way......clutch change

Sorry, my hoist and workshop aren't exactly mobile lol.

Agree with Rolls, you won't find any cheaper than $250.

Birds come and get this part after clutch change. The turbo will be able to hold 20psi straight to 7000RPMs with it using a EBC. Should get around 280rwkws with extra 3psi of boost.

That part is $35 delivered. It's best working with the 14psi actuator and ebc. It will only work assume the cause of the drop is the strength of actuator. Will have no affect on retriction related boost drops.

Does that include the clutch or is that just fitting?

Love to man, but I can't run more than 16psi anywhere in the rev range at the moment...anything more and my motor starts pinging past what my tuner is comfortable with. So it'd be wasted on me cause I'm not even seeing 20psi in the mid range for it to drop off in the top end. It just runs 16psi all the way to red line.

Better off getting Kasko to try it as he is experiencing exactly what you're trying to fix. Once I convert to E-flex and can safely run 20psi I will look at doing it, if I have the dropping off issue.

Also, I don't have clutch issues, maybe you're confusing me with Kasko :/

For canberra, i think $500 is pretty competative. Does that include flywheel machine for the clutches which keep the stock flywheel?

I'd definently drive the 3.5hrs to sydney for $250 though.

Joined the hypergear club recently thought I'd share my story. After finding my previous highflow too laggy for my liking I went to stao and asked for response so he put together a turbo with SS1 compressor wheel.

Went to install it last weekend. When i finished fitting the lines and intake I spotted missing manifold studs. First and last. I went to tighten up the remainder in the hope i could still drive my car. Found 2 more broke and another seized up. fark! decided to rip everything off..

Called thread doctor but he was too busy, so i searched the internet for left hand drill bits and ezouts, couldn't find anything local (wanted it fast). wandered into a tool shop and found this:

An hour plus later....

got charged 120 for manifold gasket from nissan... crazy oh well needed it. $2.50 per stud wasn't too bad though

Anyway I've effectively changed turbo 3 times now. Getting real good at it lol. Hope that makes anyone struggling with their turbo install feel better.

Wonder how much the exhaust leak contributed to the lag and if i even needed to get my second highflow. Feels good so far anyhow. Not quite stock response still but heaps better than before. Would be interesting to compare to Bird's turbo since you have an actual SS1

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
