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. ;)

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
