yer but its under the current power to weight ratio for sedans, that the exemption i want to apply for, if it works out, yay, if not, expensive lesson :spank:

don't be retarded. They use the factory power to weight ratios to calculate the exemption, not what some habib cobbles together. you won't get the exemption and you'll be further out of pocket. I'm willing to put money on this.

sent the form today.. see how i go

wish me luck, and on the actual form, it shows what turbo family cars are not covered, almost all of them were 6 speed manuals or had DSG boxes/ highpo autos so i think i might get lucky. not holding my breath thoughconfused.gif

Rome wasnt built in a day. Put in the effort and the rewards will be visible. :thumbsup:

True.

Thinking of getting rid of interior and put in cage and bride seats now...

I hate myself all the time.

haha after my full epa, ive had my hks2530, 550cc sard injectors, z32 afm & nistune sitting in a box for couple of months. Still deciding whether to put them back on the car or sell them off. Life is stress-free not having to worry about copping another defect/epa haha

I fear the day it may happen to me.

I'd better start hiding this and that... Or leave it as is, and start worry when I finally met 'nice policeman' (or policewoman).

If you leave it as is, they've won man. They've won.

What you talking about?!

Which N1 turbos are you referring to?

I have 34 N1 with HKS actuators and HKS EVC 4 (may be 3) but it is rubbish compared to HKS GT-SS running solely on HKS Actuators.

I think new tune is in order.

Moral of story is... shouldv'e bought a R33.

haha yeah it aint nice. It came down to a bleed-valve which made me rip everything else off :/

haha sorta over the power chasing phase. Thinking of improving braking and appearance now. Less hassles.

haha i know :(

Although they will truly win if i sell up the car.

R34 GTR N1 Turbos have the same specs as HKS GT-SS, as in the Compressor Wheel and Turbine Wheel.

Previous owner would have just upgraded the actuators to HKS to replicate the HKS GT-SS to save from buying 2 whole new Turbos... IMO.

Both these Turbos are pretty much the equivalent to the Garrett -7's Turbos.

I believe Garrett make all Turbos, aftermarket tuning houses just put their name / badge on it and give it a different name :P

interested in one of your HKS actuators. How much you let one go for?

Nope -7 and -9 (aka GT-SS) aren't the same, slighty different compressor wheel. -9 without EBC spools nice and early than -7 with EBC.

I wonder what would happen if I whacked EBC in my old 33 GTR and have it set up aggressively, I'd never know.

$200 and you get 2nd one for free, alternatively, make an reasonable offer and you still get 2nd one for free.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
