derrrr a few pages back lol nvm... I notice the internal gate is still there??

I really liked the way how the KKRs560 had the center divider grinded out for the internal gate to work. But either way that is not a "real" twin pulse housing. The pulse in the center must have the exact clearance to the turbine wheel as the rest of the turbine housing profile does (20 thou), with the pulse separated from the manifold all times. Realistically it needs two external gates and gets treated as "twin" turbos.

I seen one ( I think it was a Toyota turbo) which got 2x wastegaes in the turbine housing as in one per pulse. It will has to be setup that way for the to work. To get that working the pulse will need to be twisted so it actually faces the dump pipe area, Will need a new casting and etc to get that working. But nothing is impossible.

FINALLY got my car back on the road after about 4 months of no rego due to defect lololol

So good to feel the pull of a G3 again, right now I can't even fathom how it would feel with an updated version or even SS2....

Trade that old dinosaur in for some new technology!

Can't afford the upgrade and retune to be honest...since my 33 got defected for missing front numberplate (lol my fault...) it cost me roughly $2700 to get a roadworthy for it again (not to mention buying another car since it was my daily). I've spent enough on it for now, I'll just wait until I get used to and subsequently bored of this power again, then I'll see where I'm at.

Is that what it costs to clear a defect? man everything here in nsw is a total rip-off lol

lol what do you mean? My defect clearance included engineer's certificate for ALL modifications (~$1500) and fabrication+fitting of child restraint anchoranges (~$850)

That's the biggest load. Sif I'm ever going to be putting kids in my car. Even if I did, I'd take the trouble of getting the anchorages put in then. Why is a vehicle unroadworthy just because it can't carry kids seats? :/

So that hole is ok to use? Have thought putting thd baby seat in the car might get some sympathy if I ever get pulled over.

Or they might think I'm being a bad parent putting a kid in a skyline :laugh:

I fail to understand how these cars got complied without getting anchor points fitted. My R32 has 3 of them, and there was no way it was going to pass the import/compliance/rego inspection at Regency without them. That was last century!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
