OK 1st thing:

Wednesday night 7:30 Morayfield - Time and area sorted (Chris will you be attending this northside meet?)

location - We doing indian brothers or fasta pasta?

Excuses

1st Q - I had a cheap FMIC on my 33 held pressure really well depends on what power you want to make if it is 200kw+ then spend the money on a good one to avoid pressure drop a FMIC doesn't really make power but it can sure as shit kill ti.

2nd Q- A boost T like the one I have in my 32 is great for starting out with and are good for making as much pressure as your stock turbo / wastegate can make, when your looking at serious numbers ( above 200kw's ) or want multiple boost settings then look at an electronic system, Note some manual ones are prone to spiking

Boiracer

Give me a ring and drop round I'll take ya for a strap in it and you can see if you like the ride of the V1's they are a shit tone better than the ones that were in it.

Everyone else

We are looking for Idea's for cruises and group events for northside so have a think about this during the week and we will have a chat about it wednesday night (locations, times, venues of interest blah blah blah)

I also have some news regarding some functions that may become available to us later this year or early next year remind me to let you all in on it on wednesday night.

FMIC - The one i was looking at was is the cooling pro type 1 600 x 300 x 76 at only $400, i was going to get the blitz for 700, but my partner doesn't want too much of my tax to go onto the car (bills etc), if i can find a FMIC between 400-600 i may look into getting that and then saving for a elec boost controller at the end of the year.

@ the ideas

Ill start having a look at things we could do as a group, try get into a monthly cruise/meet up (someones place?) have a few drinks etc. If we can get this happening every month would be nice.

Then possibly something every quater of the year? My partner is interested in the drives, she just said she would feel a bit weird with a bunch of guys every weds talking about stuff she doesn't understand :P (i have explained a bit)

Joke of the week - SPAR in morayfield, (cant recall road, but off graham) A girl there was saying she knew her skylines pretty good, and was telling everyone in the store that my R33 is really a R34. My partner didn't say anything /doh. So maybe we should swap cars clint? im keen!

either or is good for me too.

Got the go ahead today for some coilovers!!! need to go for a run in your car clint to see how the V1's are. but from what ive read so far they are a good bit of kit, esp for the price.

Hoping to have it all sorted for happy laps in 2 weeks time!!

I so want to do SOMETHING to my car before happy laps. Dont want to go there and have the exact same car lol.... but i dont think funds are going to allow :(

But i do know that brakes are needing to be done.... would like to stop at turn 1!

yeah stopping is always good. i had no drama with turn one...as i was being a little girly with my braking into it.

Turns out i got a 1-2 week wait on the coils......doubtful it will be sorted for then :(

Cheap coolers are a definite stay away from. If the money is spent in the right areas in the first place, then decent gains are easily achievable. There is nothing wrong with the good ol' turbosmart bleed valve. I'm running 1 on mine and don't have any issues with boost spike and run a constant 20psi, 425rwhp. Pete has somehow set it up to gradually feed as rpm increases. In my opinion there is really no need to have multiple boost settings as it can be all controlled by the right foot. The only thing that I'll be doing next, when I get a bit more HP, is get rid of the boost t and use a solenoid controlled by the wolf to have more control and stage the boost for drag use. If you use the computer to control the boost you get a nicer boost curve without massive spike like most EBC's do.

Hmm, guess i have alot to throw around to decide. Would the $700 blitz from justjap b what i am after then?

And with my front bar would i need to.cut it to fit the fmic?

Indian brothers weds night? Hopefully my cokd dissapates by 2morrow :/

Do it Joe you know you want to, As for mechanics depends on mods as to who is good for them.

i do want to, but i'm not aloud to drive (damn boys in blue), as for mods, i'm not after crazy stupid like 1000RWHP, but am wanting to get the engine rebuilt with good forged internals, better cams, bigger turbo/injectors, ECU, pumps upgraded (whatever is needed), and of cause the handiling side of things, like coilovers, sway bars strut braces (these things will be done first before any more power is put in), and of cause the the stopping mechanisms, i believe they begin with a B :P

so yeah one that i can take to do all these sorts of things

Washed my car, think i might go and have a sook.. My front bar is looking so sad, paint cracking and coming off. sigh! Need to order the paint and get it resprayed booyea

    • 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!
