Spotted the lime green 32 with black bonnet yesterday arvo on the Monaro between Canberra ave and Hindmarsh.

Also spotted what I think was Tom's brother's widebody s15 this morning on Hindmarsh coming up to the Canberra ave traffic lights (can't remember username of the owner :P)

EDIT: Veilwest?

Spotted a yellow 33 on gas camped out next to me at Woden plaza. Neat looking rig.

Drove past your work again today 4pm, no Stagea :(

Also, would you believe I work in the suburb but until last week had no idea there was that new road that goes up from near the Monaro to join Gladstone Street? lol

Yessir. He hasn't been on here for ages though.

So, again I spotted the black R35 GTR in my street. But there is a bit of a story this time.

SO LETTUCE BEGIN, I spotted this black R35 GTR pulling into my street as I was starting my car up - I wasted no time in getting Rosie's phat ass on the road to finally find out where this guy lives. I fenged it down the road on a cold engine (Sorry Rosie - but sometimes you gotta take one for the team) and chucked a hard left (Where the GTR went) as I was prowling the street I notice this blue looking car which looks similar to Rosie (Slightly) as I drive by I notice that it's a R34 GTR bayside blue sitting on the edge of the road facing me, as I take a deep breath and slowly passing by I notice the R34 GTR's window is down with someone in it, I look at him like some kid in a toy shop, mouth wide open and eyes glued (Sorry kids in front of me, but I was willing to either hit you or hit the curb - my eyes weren't going off this baby), as I looked stunned - the owner of the R34 GTR looks straight at me and gave me a nod; as I attempt to do a "cool guy" nod I realised that my neck was so stiff from keeping eyes on this car...that I almost hit my forehead on the steering wheel in attempt to send the nod that I received back in respect. So after making a fool of myself I carry on looking for this black R35 GTR that prowls my street. I chuck a few turns and lost the bad boy, assuming it was garaged before I could get a glimpse. As I was exiting a side street I finally drive pass the R35 GTR with 2 asian looking fellas standing behind it.. eyes once again glued on the GTRs of the world - I look at this black ass in amazement as I get stared down from the two owners. No time to pay my respect with a nod or wave, I simply stared ever so rudely, but I didn't care, it was a R35 GTR. As I was rolling passed the R35, I noticed the R34 GTR right in front of me, I find out exactly where this R35 GTR lives and chucked a right with a gear snap to show these GTR owners I am of honour to own a Skyline, as I go to change gear again.... I crunched..........

NOOOOO - I'm now in hiding.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
