Hey everyone, have been a member for a while now but have made an introduction thread... i bought my 98' model R34 GTT in December 09' and loved it straight away..until august when i had a run in with the DECCW due to problems with the previous owner, and have had nothing but trouble since. However all seems to be sorted out now so thanks you to all the people who have already helped me out with info and advice.

I live in the Windsor area, NSW so will hopefully see a few of you around.

Bonnet is getting painted this week so will put some pics up soon.

cheers guys

the bonnet i got is from blits in queensland, i have already got it fitted to the car n the fitment is really good in terms of it matching up with the factory gaps between the panels..but actually fitting the bonnet was a real pain. The main bonnet catch was about 10mm too short, but the safety one was long enough, and it didnt make it over the strut brace or intercooler piping. i got in undercoateded today and the panel beater said it was one of the best fibreglass bonnets he's ever seen as it had hardly any pinholes in it, but unfortunately the undercoat had a bit of a reaction with the gel coat so it wont be getting painted til early next week now :P will post up pics and mods list when its sorted tho

sorry it took me so long to get the pics up, im pretty happy with how the bonnet came out, thinking of getting the mirrors done 2..open to ppls opinions :P

looks gd man,

Still contemplating if i should respray mine or just get a after market one.

Black sure does look gd :D

yeah i didnt know whether i should get it done in black or not, but decided i would like it to stand out a bit more. doing it this way ive at least got the factory bonnet still in factory paint down in the back shed just in case i have any troubles with the fibreglass one. :action-smiley-069: what colour is ur car at the moment?..would love to see some before n after photos of whatever u end up doing!!

    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!

    • This thing did a 1:20.88 at Winton on the weekend which is f**king rapid.  Well done mate, your driving has really gone up a few notches not much left on the table now! Good luck at WTAC.   https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1MHyZQBqZ2/
