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.

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:

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.

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
