yep there's an 8374 TS in sydney. not sure on 7670 as I don't know of anyone using one/waiting for one.

not sure when you ordered but we ordered and paid for the first 9180 late last year (november from memory). and same goes for the bloke in syd who got his 8374 TS. same goes for the other mate of mine who is getting an 8374 but he's still waiting as of yesterday.

but yeah I think they are slowly starting to trickle out. they really do need to start getting more out as without some volume in the market interest will peter out and everyone will just go back to what is easily available.

I ordered and paid for mine mid January, I have had a few emails from Raffi and Geoff at Full-Race, So know about the casting issues with the Turbine Housings that B/W are having....It must be so frustrating for them , But was just curious if any other outlets have been sending them out yet.

...I'm trying to be patient

There are about 7 or 8 distributors getting them at this point worldwide. The smaller frames have been available, but the larger framed turbos have been a crapshoot for all of us at this point. BW has been very open about who is getting what, and there just ins't anything out there yet. As soon as there are turbos available they send a few to each distributor (as stated earlier) and each distributor sends them out to the consumer. HOWEVER there are people stating they have them (ebay and other venues), collecting money and then scrambling to get some. Really a bad business practice. So as a general rule if you already have an order with a distributor it's not going to help ordering from another one. I would gladly tell you otherwise too, it's not like we're going to lose business and don't have people lined up waiting... It's just a tough spot to be in right now with these turbos.

Yes, I see Treadstone list that they have them in stock, Yet when asked they say they are 2-3 weeks away, I'm guessing they pulled that date outta their......

Since they are not a distributor your assumption is most probably spot on.

Lots of internet hype and then not being able to keep up with product demand... Someone is taking marketing lessons from Apple :)

Hopefully the end products are not shit like Apple :nyaanyaa:

LOL! Still loving my iPhone and MacBook.....Would have one of those virus ridden Windows PC/Android things again if you paid me!!

Ohh I'll go hunting for that!

And for the OT war, not an Apple fan either - did give the iPhone 4 a chance to try and impress but Samsung Galaxy S2 ftw, have converted a number of iPhone fans with it without actually trying to :D

That's like saying you are still loving masturbating and would never have sex because you might get a STD :P

Using Mac's for over 15 years too, NO WAY I'd ever switch. iPhone simply works, every time.

Yeah like a Toyota Corolla starts every time! Do you own one of them?

Man I'm trying to think of something to spank you with but youve covered your ass so well with that comment!

Not that I like apple at all, candy apple green skylines though.... :ph34r:

LOL! each to their own....But as for the STD comment, I would rather have a wife with a "Clean Operating System" than a sleazy hooker that might give me a number of virus' YES!! HAHA!

This thread was getting bullsh*t enough on its own.

We've seen good results with the twin turbo set up, but haven't had a chance to really test the 8374 on the RB26 like we wanted (customer had a boost leak in dyno graph posted earlier). Now it's just too hot here to dyno it. We had a 118º day (48ºC) just the other day.... blink.gif

There is a twin kit now in AU as well as a 9180. So... we should see results soon!

well if you need a good 8374 result send me one!!! :) I have another R32 GTR here that would be perfect for it. currently 350kw with HKS 2530s (inc HKS manifolds, dumps and piping). with built engine.

but in other news yes the 9180 is here (and I think I sent you the pics thekeeper?)

and even better news the twin 6258 kit arrived last night and is now in my hot little hands. pics to come and results soon.

the turbo's are fantastic (looking). if they perform as well as they look I'm sure I'll be bringing in many more kits after this first one.

PS please excuse the quality of the pics. afterall they were taken with my bloody IPHONE4!!!!!

I think those iPhone pics look AWESOME. Ha ha! Glad you like the way it looks, I think you'll be very happy with results.

And... Thanks, yes Jon showed me the pics of the 9180, it looks right at home in your engine bay!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
