nteresting opinions - most easy to relate to ....

my old r33 with 300 + rwkw's was very easily streetable with gentle yet strong twin plate clutch .. drve to city, next to cops, to and from work, etc ... yet power was 200+ from around 3,500 up to 9,000rpm .. and the car had reasonable milage unless driven quite hard ...

endless is easy to live with but idle is very lumpy and car is so loud .. power comes on strong from 5,000 ... basically 100kw @ 5000, then 250 @ 5,500 ... bascially easy to drive off boost ... but you really gotta rev to get some serious power from it ...

locked diffs are kinda hard to cruise with pace when a little wet on tight corners in series :)

Well if the owner is driving it... i wouldnt be too worried.

The times it has run at the strip the owner has not been driving it.

I was chatting to him at calder a month back, great guy actually, and it was his first time racing it himself.

He ran a 13's and some 12's if my memory serves me correctly.

Hopefully he comes on some cruises i told him too and stuff :)

I have heard of OBEHAVE but have not yet seen it.

As I said previously, racing should be kept on the strip or circuit as there are less unpredictable factors there.

Street racing doesn't interest me anymore like it used to as I have learnt the lesson of my licence being worth too much to my everyday survival as I rely on my car for social and business purposes.

If OBEHAVE is as fast, then I would love to meet the owner and compare times on the strip where all variables are as equal as possible.

      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)

      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!
