YES SPOTTED FARK ABOUT TIME BEEN TOO LONG!!! lol

Were you going through the roundabout, or were you behind me on Johnson? I was merely thinking about gambling - whether I hit boost or not! hmm...haha I fking hate having to drop back to 1st at that intersection, always best if I can coast through in 2nd!

I was coming from Tharwa Drive (Theodore). I can understand not kicking back to 1st in the 33, just everyone else that cuts me off going through that roundabout gives me the shits cause (esp in the wet), thats a slippery corner and the subie's grip levels aren't the best even at low speed. I just don't want to hit anyone.

I was actually watching you closely with the window down to hear if there was any 'sustained loss of traction' happening :):thumbsup:

hahaha, yeah...it's a shit intersection :thumbsup: but nah, that's not my kinda corner, ESPECIALLY with traffic around, to skid in the wet....I much prefer turning left off Hindmarsh onto Canberra Ave in 2nd....then into 3rd....then gain traction and coast down to work in 4th...though again, not with traffic :) lol

Had a dream day of skyline spotting today and thought I'd just have to share. First I saw a gun-metal R33 GTST turn onto Canberra avenue off the Monaro Highway Fyshwick, followed moments later by a black R32 GTR on Barrier St. Then as I was walking to my car on Lyell Street after work, a midnight purple (possibly black,it was overcast :P) R34 GTR drove past, very impressive.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
