Gold!

Group Buy? :P

Count me in! Add underneith it "Its an import that doesnt drift"

Next cruise James and I will have a BBQ cranking and no driving on the cruise for anyone that wants to still donate but not lose a car or spend a day at regency :down:

just won what looks like a twin plate clutch for sweet f**k all money. pick it up friday and take to acs to see if it needs a rebuild. even if it does itll work out cheaper than the clutch i was looking at.

Don't know how well you know the guys at "team twat", but they're a bunch of squids. Its these guys we've told to f**k off. No skill, no brains, no respect.

I agree. I'm not saying I'm into it myself. 'stunts, wheelies, &, Tricks"

I'm asking. Weren't some of your friends in the group tho ? or were ?

I'm saying all this because there seems to be so many saints and angels on here. Make believe ones. I don't speed and carry on myself, but we all know some people that do.

Well I finally picked up my car... but it still has issues.

They gave it back to me with a flat battery (had to be jump started from the crash repairers) after I told them at least 5 times when speaking to them during the first week to disconnect the positive battery terminal as it would go flat in less than a week. The oil catch can is still squirting oil all over the engine bay and now the HICAS light goes on and off like someone tapping morse code - and with it the car switches from 4WD to RWD and back again. Sometimes I took off in 1st in RWD, changed to 2nd and had 4WD and then was back in RWD before changing to third. I am sooooo sick of this saga!

What a f**king joke! Seriously though the catch can shouldn't be squirting oil like that, not unless you are driving like a mad man

HICAS is 4 wheel steering, totally unrelated to ATTESSA, esp since you have a hicas lock bar - are you having the hicas light come on or are you feeling the attessa kicking in and out?

I'll bring my consult cable to check out ur error codes on the weekend...

Also, do you have an oil engine return from the welch plug at the back of the head?

-D

I don't mind watching the odd wheelie, my mates are generally a bunch of good blokes ... but team twat have no idea and are a big hazard on the road. Alot of them got themselves perished or busted up some years ago running from the cops. 3 of them died in the span of 2 weeks doing stupid things.

And no I've never associated with any of them. A handful of them tried riding with us, but we showed them the door.

No one is a saint. I've NEVER even received a parking ticket on my bikes, but that doesn't mean I don't misbehave. I pick where and when to stretch my legs and its well within my limits and the environment around me. I have Mallala should I chose the need for speed. 20 years and zero traffic violations on my bike, I'd like to think I've been picking them well. One thing I do ensure, is that I am wearing full protective gear where and when I can. Unlike the twats who think a hoodie and fashion jeans will save your neck!

:P

What's happening is what I posted - the HICAS light comes on and off, and at the same time the car switches between 4WD & RWD. I can see the car is in RWD by the torque gauge not moving but the rear end starts slipping. I imagine that it has something to do with the G sensor which was most likely damaged in the accident - way back in June 2008.

Yes the oil catch can has an oil return hose to the back of the head (I don't know what the welch plug is).

I won't be driving the GTR anywhere yet because i) I have a flat battery ii) I'm squirting oil all over the engine bay (and I was driving very sedately Luke) & iii) 335rwkW that switches at will between 4WD & RWD is not very confidence inspiring.

I'm am mega pissed off so apologies if this comes across. It is not aimed at anyone on SAU.

LOL.

Having a bit of fun with a dude I used to work with and hes getting all defensive and shit.

His older sister married the son of Drake supermarkets and over the weekend they drove one of their Lamborghini Superlarggas over from Sydney. There is pictures of it on the back of a tow truck after something happening to its gearbox. So I jump in with the $600k and still needs a tow babow comments. Now they're getting all defensive saying if my GTR was powerskidding and drifting all the way from Sydney my GTR would be f**ked too. Obviously not getting that my $20k GTR is 18 years old and is probably yet to see the back of a tow truck he still hasn't caught on.

Oh people that think they have cash are funny.

It's not normal for oil to be pissing out, the motor shouldn't be breathing that much, especially when you're not on boost. You seem to have a WHOLE new list of problems and I'm sure it's doing your head in. But have the repairs atleast been done right this time body wise?

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
