Sounds like you have been listening to Scott a bit too much there Aaron!

nah i took my car there for a quote when i blew the turbo.

just for labour to take the turbo out, they quoted $2k. I got the turbo out and in for $700 with another mechanic.

I didnt even wanna know what they wouldve charged for the hiflow.

:( They did my turbo.

Removed/installed and organised AXT to rebuild mine (although a bit of consultation as to what I wanted would have been nice) for under $2k, but that was around 3 years ago

Aaah, if I knew then what I know now.....

2K.. nice... i cant remember how much mine cost. im pretty sure more coz of the BB conversion.

yeh i got ATP to do mine. Kyp hiflowed n converted it to Ball Bearing he is a bit of a screw loose but hes on the ball n explains everything in full.

I wonder if anmy other M35's on the forum have done a BB conversion.. must say i like the sound lol.. but so do cops :(

Yeah, Kyp is definitely a character. "BB Conversion"? Since the stockie is BB I am a bit lost on how it is "converted" to BB...

Local? Depends what you call local. To interstaters I would be :down: I am about 40-45mins SE from you (Nyora), but I'll be up that way tonight briefly.

Trouble is, most of the other U.S. package services are highway robbery to use...

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I didn't think about how a circle works before, dumb.  Before, I had .9mm restrictor bolts but I can't use these cause they were shorter aluminium bolts that just tear off their threads when tightening since the OEM lines are thicker than the shitty braided one that was installed previously. Now I use longer 1mm stainless steel restrictor bolts. I think the difference will not affect the health of the turbos, but I guess I'll have to drill out the main feed bolt as I agree multiple restrictions sound dodgy. The one that was installed with the braided line was just too short, but completely without a restrictive hole.

      Tomei gasket

      By SKYMAGGOT · Posted

      After cleaning up a rusty cooling system in a 33 gtst that's been sitting for years it seems to have cleaned out the head gasket too haha. It seems the Tomei metal gasket works without machining surfaces? Or put oem? Also should put an oil restrictor while the head is off? Thanks

      R33 GTST Axles

      By tidi0x · Posted

      Thanks, I definitely saw the more expensive options from Crank and driveshaft shop. Thank you for the D-max option.  Still hopeful someone has an OEM out of the box option I found that the 300zx NA Left drive shaft is a good match for the Right on the R33. https://www.gsplatinamerica.com/product/ncv53040 Just need to find Left CV for the R33, I cannot find any <=22" axles.
