For all those interested, I got it brand new from Greenline Performance. Jason was an absolute champion to deal with and despite being told that I probably won't get it til early april to due stock out, here I am with it. I'd prefer not to publicly announce the price but it was consderably cheaper than what a speed shop here would sell it for. There obviously were cheaper alternatives but end of the day, it's still a brand new HKS turbo. I was lucky and didn't get stopped by customs so no GST or import tax for me.

Will let you know how she goes once I bolt it on. More comparison photos between this and stocker on way too.

Hmm.....drag combat eh....sorry Paul, if anything else goes wrong with the car now i'd be too far up sh!t creek financially to recover and still keep the car. Not willing to push it at this point in time cause I need my beast to get me to work. Will have to wait for another time....

I will be down at SST this saturday getting her tuned though. Booked it all in with Steve the other day. Do you know if steve's got fuel pressure reg's for sale? i think he may find i'm gonna need one when he tunes it on sat.

Tune didn't go so well. Drove it on with 7psi and immediately laid down 244RWHP but as soon as I went to wind the boost up she would lean right off. After much mucking around, we put it down to an incorrectly installed fuel pump so I left unhappy and faced with more $$$ to spend. Am getting a fuel pressure reg too and possibly a Z32 AFM cause i'm hitting boost cut around 0.98bar.

As far as a start goes, 244 @ 7psi isn't a bad one. Turbo feels fuggin awesome when it kicks in (about 2-300 later than stock), comes in much stronger than old one but will have to wait for dyno graph showing 300+ for the moment. Rest assured I'll post it up when it happens. Just waiting on parts and $$ now.

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
