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.

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.

yup....me and Danwatt have the Garrett BB set.....Dan's in Mexico too!

Im pretty sure my GCG rebuild has a BB core; done before my time though. Thank god too - the guy ended up being charged just shy of $5k for the entire thing :blush:

hey if its better its been converted hahaha lol yeh theyre ball bearing. id call them crap bearings. i think my turbo was just entirely Effd.

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

I just got an email from my contact in Japan who can once again get me some informeter's at a very good price. (sorry Dunc & Dale)

let me know if anyone is after one?

Cheers

Andy

All good mate, win some, lose some.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
