Morning.

As everyone would know. I've got a GT30 coming for the car.

BUT there is a problem.

The supplier is telling me that Garrett are out of .82 rear housings and that it could be months.

I think he is telling a fair bit of the old :bs!: to me...

So im gonna do some of my own homework as 3 weeks i've been waiting and im getting mildy pis*ed off at this stage.

So two things that i need help from everyone with.

1) Is anyone else having these sorts of problems with the .82 rear housings from Garrett ?

2) Does anyone have a contact number for Garrett Australia (sales preferrably) so i can ring them up and find out what the deal is?

I've looked in the Yellow Pages and aint really come up with anything usefull in terms of contact numbers :P

Any help on this would be much appreciated. I just wanna get the car running at the least.

Sorry this isnt helping you with garrett, but how much minus the turbine housing. The reason I ask is that I bought a housing from the US, it took about a week and costs less than $500, that was for a HKS GT30 housing.

Also, have you tried different suppliers? perhaps approach the west coast? some one like per4manz?

I cant remember the name of the supplier, but it's not directly off Garrett im getting it from.

Actually i think this supplier is in WA. I've sms'd my mate who's organising it all.

So i'll have the name of the place today hopefully.

But the story goes that Garrett have said they have no .82 rear housings left in Aust.

I find that very hard to believe considering it's one of the most popular set-ups.

I havent asked just for the front.

Might be worth a shot. Thanks for the idea Steve, once i sus out where i stand that could well be a option. The dollar is mighty strong ATM :P

Ok, the place is MTQ Engine Systems.

Or the old Dynamic Turbo Chargers.

I still need a number for Garrett though so i can ring them personally.

Anyone got it????????

And Nathan... you CAN have my turbo. They've been around for yonks now.

You cant tell me they dont make a GT30 with a .82 rear housing yet. :zap:

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
