yay! got the stag back!

now for the running in period.... :thumbsup:

Awesome! :thumbsup:

In other news, I've passed my Personal Trainer workshop/exam which ran over Saturday and Sunday. 2 days of full on revision, screening, testing and programming. Another 2 more months then I'll be a qualified Master Trainer. :D My current qualifications means that I can walk into a gym, and if I tell you you're doing it wrong ... then you are! :P

... but I'm feeling it today. The exams were physically and mentally draining.

Did you build the motor?

I paid Boostworx 4k to pull out and strip down the engine, to supply new CP pistons, clean head for reassembly, completly recondition the block including bore/hone/refacing, polish the crank, supply & fit new ACL race bearings & new welch plugs, new MLS head gasket, turbo lines, etc. Tune will be included in a thousand kms time, just have a hundred to spend on fluids/filters. Drives nicely, got home mid-arvo and refitted the big brake kit - yet to test. Really needs a wash and clean inside/out.

happy with the work performed.

Awesome! :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, good on you. Would be a very interesting course to study.

I'll be getting myself to Southbound gym as soon as I can afford to; time to rebuild my body as I exercise my mind with my study. Almost finished going over the Anatomy text book, once finished will start on some note taking.

Ive been down a very dark road in my life for a number of years now. Im glad Ive come through it, and am very positive about what my future holds for me. With hard work now over the next 4years Im sure my life experience will help me to being able to help others.

Since your now a qualified trainer Rueben could you advise me on leg exercises that are possible for me to do at the gym considering Im without patellas? Calf raises (weight stack over shoulders), hamstring curls, maybe leg press but not sure about that tbh, & I doubt I can do leg extensions; certainly cant do squats. Not sure what else I'll be able to try?

my 32 is getting picked up tomorrow.

the soon to be new owner asked if i would register the car, and he would pay me back so he can tow it behind a car rather than hire a trailer/tow truck.

i said no on the basis that i do not want the car freshly registered in my name, cos i dont want the risk of wearing all the fines that could potentially come.

THEN he asked for the VIN, plate and engine number so he can register it in his name.

i said no cos then he could possibly be the legal owner before the sale...

he has not responded.... what could possibly be next???

Why didn't you register it?

Once he has signed the disposal notice there is no chance that the fines would come back onto you. You can also fill out a notice of disposal and hand that to Motor reg if your really worried.

i would have registered if that was true.

the disposal notice has no effect on a fine when it is issued. if the new owner did not trasfer rego, i would still be the registered owner and potentially get speeding/red light fines and have to stat dec them into the new owners name.

Yeah when I bought my car in Melbourne, the previous owner agreed to leave it registered as long as I signed a stat dec saying I'd taken ownership. Made it heaps easier being able to drive it for a week or so before I was able to get to regency to swap the rego.

i couldnt count the number of fines that i have seen that have been incurred in the previous owners name regardless of disposal notices, it may be a data entry problem/human error, but i have no faith that i would not get the potential fine

you'd be fine Carl......worse come to worse, you sign a stat dec if a fine comes your way with proof of sale....end of story

I sold a Honda Prelude years ago and incurred 2 speed fines over a 6 mth period cause he never did the transfer.....all I had to do is provide proof of sale bud

+1

When I bought my GTR off Writeoff, he happily gave me all of those details because I needed them a) to get the secured loan and b) to insure the car with shannons so that I was covered *the moment I got in the vehicle* (wasnt gonna fall into THAT trap after doing my 12 months of research)

And if he ever had any problems, he could have always printed out his bank statement showing a 5 figure bank transfer from my bank account...

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
