barraspalding, how do you fit presents under that tree? :P

my son wanted a mini xmas tree this year, I couldnt find one for him anywhere tho :/

i was paying a parking fine when you must have gotten this photo.

oh, unlucky! sorry it aint the best shot, the background was a little bright and i was on my way to picking up more work.

first time taking panning shots of cars since selling the DSLR gear. the light weight of the P&S is a bit of a disadvantage, but managed to get this one at 1/50th of an old fella enjoying his pride and joy

Nothing special, just a shot after my GTR's first wash (picked it up yesterday)...

Loving the 5D2 + Sigma 50mm f/1.4 combination, focus is a bit off sometimes, should probably micro-adjust it >_<

The mrs was givin that one by her work... it did have lots of scratchies hanging from it. Was told newsagencies sell em'

Love the spade bit shot, Jay. The aerial on the roof of the ute makes it look like it has an erection :/

i had to convert the shot of the drill bit to black and white tho cause i couldnt get colors to look right. the light i was using was a fluro with a very pink cast and i was too lazy to set my own K level. i really should have shot it in RAW and fixed it while converting it, but yeah not really how i roll with the point and shoot :P

as for the ute erection, bwhahahaha. i would have put it in the tray or something myself.

yesterday was cool, was watching my little boy riding his bike and got a quick snap of him. he loves that bike and wants to ride it every day. so glad i thought to buy it for him. the three wheeler it replaced was awful, the cranks were so short that he couldnt pedal it at all, only push it along. this one he can pedal and get up a little bit of speed on too.

I mentioned before that I spent December moving into a new house which has been eating up all my time. My only camera time was a half hour walk around the block. Still busy but I things are settling down so expect me at whorey best in the Jan thread ;)

Dude, more shots of that little man-made lake/recreational area at the front entrance to your estate should prove quite fruitful!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
