howdy all, im back from Canberra!

We are hopefully going to arganise a group of club members to head to a downshift one day and try to recruit some more members who don't seem like di*k heads.

keen for this as i still have not been to one.

Finally got my kit painted and fitted over the last week, not the flushest of fits but i guess thats what you get with EBay Kits. Also one of current interior [golf shoes are apart of the "look'

]. Needs some new seats

Mechanic, Was going to send it to Dan to do as he had the right price and I dig his work.

Now that Dan isn't around I am not sure where I want to go with it.

Yes the ERD thing is unfortunate, but you can do it yourself. Just hog the garage for a few days, and doit! Mine took the better part of 2 days. but i did take my time and did lots of interneting and reading beforehand.

just need a few choice tools :)

I am always stuck at work at the moment so I couldn't spare 2 days even if I wanted to.

I need to find a garage that has a lot of experience doing the work and has a reputation for quality work at a fair price.

After much debate, I will be putting more power into the car, It will get it's 100K service a full service and some tuning done, I will then look at what options I wish to use: IE different turbo, head gasket upgrade, Water Meth, Haltech.

good choice!!

where you taking it? and when are you coming out for a drive?

I am taking it over to All Star tuning and performance in Brendale, I had a good chat with Richard and a few club members and they have highly recommended them.

I am going for a 100k service, a full vehicle check and regular service and a retune at this point, The price that I have been quoted is excellent (we get club discount)

I don't know when I will be out for a drive as I still have it up for sale but I am not actively trying to sell it, I am considering getting a 4x4 as owning a car like ours is proving to be a hassle with all the young dickheads buying them now and doing skids / racing in them.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
