Is it on yet? What wheels did you end up with?

Yes, fired it up last night to check for leaks. Only one was exhaust, but was last join in the cat back so easy to fix. I still have to drop the radiator fluid as only put water in it for the test in case it was a total fail & I lost all the green stuff. Still haven't driven it.

No idea what wheels went in. I wasn't asked what I wanted when I ordered it & didn't know I had a choice. Probably a good thing as I would have researched it to death & then chosen wrong, lol. I just hope it's not too laggy.

Not planning to go through all that again I assume? lol.

I suspect he put the smaller wheels in yours, did you take any pics? We should start a Stagea Hypergear thread and post pics up with power/lag results. I took quite a few...

Is the bigger Hypergear core more expensive and laggy compared to Leon's?

The billet compressor is $200 more, the customer can decide how laggy they want it to be...

It seems to be around 3500 from what I saw, perhaps you can elaborate Marko? Bit hard without a boost gauge I suppose.

I think the sizes are teh ghey. Their staggered for a start, and I think the fronts run a really high offset? like +47 or something?

Yep. Fronts are +47 I think and rears are +15. I thought about getting 2 sets and run the +15s only but too much hassle.

That's pretty good...your old/my setup hits max boost around the same rpm? so its not too laggy then...

Its not laggy at all for the power, just when you compare it to the stock turbo.

Im going back to edge tomorrow for my attempt to crack 350kw with the GTX3071, will let you know how it goes. I wouldn't like to go laggier than what I have at the moment but where is the fun in stopping there? Next goal will be 400. :)

Haha, no Scotty, not planning to do that again in a hurry.

I took quite a few pics and, because I had my original turbo plus the hi-flowed one, I was able to do side-by-side photos. Makes it easy to see the difference.

Good idea re new thread. It's started so you & Marko can make the first posts with your results. I still have some info to gather before having anything useful to post.

Just waiting on the new rear wing now and then it's time for the spray jobs.

I also fitted a new pre-load spring to the Actuator.....back to 14PSI+ launch's! :P

Looking very mean! When the flairs merge in it'll be spot on. Its a shame the former owner of that front bar decided to cut out the stock Kenstyle/Xanadu style grill. Irrespective, it's looking good. Whats the height from ground to the front lip?

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
