If Mercury can't do it for you you could contact Dan at ERD, he is a Garrett dealer (and probably others too) and might be able to organise it for you. He's a sponsor of SAU QLD too so he can't be all bad :Dhttp://www.erd.com.au - he's at Yatala by the way.

In any case, regardless of where you take it, try to make sure that they know what you want out of the car and what that means they need to tell whoever it is that will highflow the turbo. And try to deal with someone who will talk directly to the person doing the work, it saves on Chinese whispers-style issues and you're not paying 11ty middle-men.

Compressor surge, bad service, poor information on their turbos, they have no time for the little guys put it that way. I dont mind rubbishing rubbish.

Saying that the garretts they supply would probably be alright since they are not touched by them. Im talking purely on there highflow service.

      It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
