I think it's pretty stupid of Livo not to take up on a group buy. And wtf does flooding the market have to do with anything. Pathetic I say.

There's 1 bolt that's a real PITA to get to on the dump pipe. It's right at the top and you can only get to it from underneath.

Yeah the guy was a bit funny there eh. telling me he was going to flood the market with his dumps..

Does one of you guys work for Charleston? its in Blacktown right?

Its fair enough they will be doing a supply and fit, i dont see a problem with that, what are they charging for a full 3 inch and dump?

cant be any worse than a gtr dump eh? it looks like you can actually get your hands in there!

i'm going to do the high flow also, gotta call my mate at turbologic soon to get it done. will prob go the bb turbo tho.

Liverpool Exhaust can flood the market but I predict not many people will buy their piece of sh!te. :P especially Andy lol

None of us work for Charlestone, but it's run by a top bloke and he has a good name on a variety of car forums etc. Craig has had several cars fitted out by them. It's at Blacktown yes.

The factory turbo is bb, it doesn't look like a good choice to go bush (check the turbo thread if you havn't already).

I don't have a price on the full system yet, I'll wait until the dump pipe is ready to be produced and then I will get a price on the dump and the rest of the system. I'm hoping to keep my Nismo muffler and pipe (cat back) but I will have to see how the airflow goes.

No, none of us work there. Jetwreck speaks highly of them so I thought I would give them a call get a quote and see what they suggested.

It was a very easy decission in the end as they were by far, the best service, best advice (all other shops had a one solution to all problems) and the killer the price was by far the best.

A business with a good business ethic and customer service wins me every day.

I would also say the same of Fast Fit at Leichardt as there response to my inquiry about the tow bar was top notch. I will tell you about the craftmanship after Thursday.

I can not say the same of many other exhaust shop I have been to over the last couple of months.

Yee sweet met up with Craig tonite, and he gave me the spiel on charleston,

that stock dump looks like a nightmare! i will soon have a solution, i cant believe how much restriction these cars have now.. as far as performance gains go with exhausts/dumps there is clearly a huge difference in any direction you take.

i'll get my car up on the hoist soon to see what kind of clearance we have and make a nice smooth bend out of the flange.

we're only going to make a dump that replaces the stock item. that way front pipes/catback selection is up to you.

p.s. Nice car Craig :) and good to meet you too!

Ill be following this as well!

keen as a bean for a dump

Go to the loo then man :P

Hi Ben

The dump Andrew is getting made up is for a M35 Stagea not the C34.

Cheers

Andy

I think you will find Benny may have just upgraded to an M35 :D

yeh dumb ass 1(andy) and 2(steve)!!!! :)

Andrew and I will keep you up to date Ben.

Why am I a dumb ass? :P

I was pointing out to Andy that Benny had upgraded!!

Sheesh!!

The jig has been made up,

all we have now is to check out under the car to see how smooth a bend we can get coming out of the turbo flange :P

hopefully will get a good look tomorrow arvo otherwise i'll be down the snow for the weekend..

Ok so the Jig is up!! hehe

    • 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!
    • 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!
