Ok, I ahve an r33 as most of your know. And I'm after some parts. I was just wondering where are some wreakers for imports and such. Or who you go to see when you want a part or panel.

I live near tingalpa, and I have been to cresta in capalaba, but want to look around first before I pay $165 for a window motor.

What is the adddress of Cresta? I just have the phone number, but have heard its good for that sort of thing.

I got my heater box & heater core for my r33 at:

All Jap autoparts (Northside)

1860 Sandgate Rd, Virginia

ph: 3865 2221

There is also a southside, but they don't have any skyline stuff when i rang them.

I also had one in my old door which you could have had for much less than that, but that has *probably* been turfed out by now, but if not give kamikazeeR33 a PM, as it was at his place.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
