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).

You know you want the power :P

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
