Added to the Steady growing stock pile

Purchased a 2nd hand Turbo via import Monster for a high flow upgrade, to prepare for the inevitable ceramic wheel failure.... (78000kms current)

Purchased the new Greddy Profec boost controller threw just jap (its been annoying watching the gauge and feeling the factory boost settings dropping of back to 7-9psi.)

Looking forward to installing all at once

Oil and filter this weekend, first car I have owned in which i changed oil on time instead of kays.

Used to doing 30+k a year, new job, new (old) car which wifey & young daughter get shaken up and now I'll be lucky if a crack 10k a year.

On the down side, found a ruined drivers inner CV boot and probably a dead breather in the gbox, I have a smurf bood dribble down the box...

Explains the gearbox oil smell after it gets a few revs.

Pain in the A though.

Nice! If you dont mind me asking - how much did the turbo set you back?

I installed my aux cable to the TV tuner on the weekend and replaced a few cracked vac hoses - not much, but its something!

The last Hypergear turbo took a month, as Tao was in China. It's a very good idea if you can get one, although you will never get that sort of money back for them over here, not unless they are running perfectly.

Perhaps I can loan my spare out for a small fee? I would love to have a highflow on the shelf to help customers out, but I can't justify having $1300 tied up in a turbo sitting in the garage.

The Nm35 2nd hand turbo was $437.50 thats delivered to my place inclusive...

Today

Purchased Blitz catback exhaust...

Purchased R34 GTT RDC brand replacement cross drilled dimpled, slotted front rotors ill get the new callipers once I do a bit more research & bargain hunting...

roof racks mounted, rear cargo net also put on, not sure what it's supposed to mount down to, so just have it hanging from the room like a net

hopefully put the suspension in over the week, have so much to do :(

I fitted my replacement headlight in my sII and the light is poiting waaay to far down, tried to adjust it up with the screw and the electric adjustemnt fights me and just moves it back down...am i missing something here on how to adjust it up?

make sure that the globe is sitting correctly into the fiting it might be sitting up on one of the tabs

My mechanic relearned the throttle body. What a missiin that was. No body touch your throttle body (besides craig). I was unaware before and now after going through the mishap wouldnt recommend it to anyone. On a lighter not received the oem hids that I will be installing this week.

It is a bit of an epic if you don't get the timing of each step right, but a bit of practice gets it done.

You'll like the HID's. ;)

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
