Gday all,

current drive is a black manual Au falcon ute but im currently on the look out for a jap import 2nd car as a daily streeter :)

been on a few cruzes with mates and love the atmosphere on import cruzes, especially when the commore drivers get beaten and have a sad haha

hey man

well mainly interested in 4 door turbo manuals, GTT, chaser, etc but yeah insurance is bullshit for me so i decided i better not buy a 25k rare manual 4 door and have to pay 4grand on insurance and love it to bits and worry about it everyday haah

figured id be better of with a 6-15k import which i can have some fun in and not worry to much if it gets a few scratches on when its in the carpark and just run the 3rd party fire & theft.

got any suggestions? im sure a tidy and nicely modded silvia or skyline will come up soon :)

Loll yeah, i kno wat u mean, I got an r33 and it doesnt treat me too bad, dnt really worry about it too much and really enjoy it. You could find a good r32 or 33, 2 or 4 door in the 6 to 15k price range, a few up for sale here on the forums. these cars are great fun and these days parts are easy to come by, so wouldnt hesitate with a skyline or 180 or a good s14 if u can find one. U from victoria? or anothr state?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
