Maybe try autoshop

www.autoshop.net.au

but it depends on what mods you want? engine mods? or wheels, paint and bodykits?

Umm well can I ask why you are looking to buy from a car yard/importer? did you buy your car from one of these establishments? I am not a fan of car yards the only good thing about them is the fact that they give you a warranty. And besides if you are looking for a decently modified, (engine mods: cooler, bigger turbo, fuel pump, clutch) car then from what I have seen there are not too many good examples in car yards, most have been thrashed, or just have general mods like wheels and paint/kit. I believe that if you are serious about buying a quality skyline you should check out the trading post. www.tradingpost.com.au At least then you will have a decent range to choose from and also have more of a chance of securing something that you want in terms of mods/condition/klms etc and probably save a few grand while you go.

My thoughts anyway.

Yeah i too would be looking at the trading post / internet forums, like 09ONE_32 said, most yards will only have cosmetic mods done to the cars or basic exhaust/filter mods....

Street machines is located just south of brisbane (about 5-10mins out of town along Ipswich Rd.) Not far from the Gabba.

Cameron,

I just picked up my R33 GTST not more than two weeks ago. I bought from Autoforce at Underwood, the service was excellent adn the price was really good. Not only that, but they also have a great network of suppliers and mechanics for all your future needs. Give them a call - the owner is Kevin Lee and they are online at www.autoforce.com.au

You're not going to find many modified ones at dealers, and in fact they're becoming rarer because of the new import laws.

Southport on the Gold Coast seems to have a stack of import dealers (Ferry Road). So if you wanna take the 50min drive down the Pacific Highway, its probably not a bad place to look.

      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
