I know im not the first bloke to run into trouble with an rb26 but I would like to make it known to everyone the lengths Matty T and Luke Terbeeke were prepared to go to for me today.

In such a time of desperation, its overwhelming to know people would not bat an eyelid to help another person. Mr T has proven this on more than one occasion (ala krishy)

Also thanks to pistol for making the day somewhat enjoyable, plenty of laughs and definitely someone you want to be stranded with if you had a choice...

+1 for Matty T. Always ready to help out like the champ he is

-D

the support you guys are showing matty is great.

but i was stuck there too, wheres the love?! tongue.gif

Pfft. I was on a SAU cruise and got left on the side of the road on my own over 50km from home at 2am while all the other Skylines drove straight past me.

NO I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.

They probably didn't know you were broken down.

I did a motor 228km from home and drove it home :P

Then continued to drive it for about 6 months. It was fine, just a little harder to start, more sluggish and a bit smokey :P

DO NOT KNOCK THE MIGHTY RB20.

I think I should sell the Stagea while I put myself through University.

It wont feel any love from me during the weekdays, and weekends will probably be the same :(

I'll be catching the train to Uni-SA city east during my course, and feel perhaps its best to have a cheap run around car instead?

Unsure - but advertised for sale, as per sig.

Don't sell it Tangles. Ive thought about it again and again during my uni studies, and I decided f**k it, I'm keeping it. Since then I bought another R32.... and a R31.... lol.

I was going to buy a GTR sometime soon, but I decided I have enough toys at the moment - I wouldnt sell my black R32 to help pay for it, because when I have a real job it will be my daily.

I was the first one behind you, and didnt know why you were pulling over. Otherwise would have come back !

...Im sorry damn it !

PS: Its been 4 years ? get over it :P /joke.

Yeah I dont want to Dion, but if something was to happen (cough *Neil* cough) I dont have the funds to fix anything.

Im on the absolute bones of my arse until this damned house sells; its the worst feeling.

I got myself into this financial mess by being on medication that sent me literally insane, out of work on the pension, and eventually the morgage has climbed back up to max as I havent had the funds the past 3-odd years to fully keep on top of it. Buying the R32 was the stupidest thing Ive ever done I reckon - BUT I simply wasnt thinking straight. Everything I did was aimed at "the fact" Id top myself soon so nothing seemed to matter. ie I didnt care that the ex took money out of the morgage for 2x holidays and a car, etc....

Im much much better since getting off the medication 39days ago; havent had one negative thought so as you may tell thats a Huge turn around, full circle from the lows Ive experienced. My heart says keep it but my head says better off with a 10k falcodore for the next 5yrs. If I can become a Radiologist then in 5-6 yrs I can get back into a morgage and look at getting an R35 perhaps. Im really positive towards whats in store for me but Im not sure if keeping the stagea is the wisest idea.

If the house doesnt sell soon then the stagea or track car simply have to go. Theres no way around it.

    • 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!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
