Ive been such a lazy bastard with this.

Soooooo,

At the end of last year, I got rid of the old powerfc and got myself a Link G4. Man this is a nice ecu. None of that silly hickup every 10 minutes. Oh and the fact that I went ethanol :P.

After jez worked all his magic the car is pushing just shy of 340 kw on 20psi. Not bad for the baby -9's I reckon. Car is now a great street/twisty setup.

Seeing as I was starting to push the standard motor I finally pulled my finger out and bought a variety of gauges.

Oil temp/pressure

water temp

AFR

I now feel more relaxed driving around haha. I also got a asi radiator from fleebay. Bolted up perfectly :). And its all shiny. I love shiny.

Hicas lock bar, wicked, we know what it does.

Finally to top off these past couple of months I finally got some Federal 595 RSR's. whow these tyres are good wet dry they aint care. Only down side I would say right now is that they are noisy. As far as wear goes, we will have to wait and see.

All in all, car is going awesome (touch wood) except for my silly castor rods making knock knock noises, time for new ones :). Pulls hard and got a 11.4 @125mph on those crappy achilles tyres I had. Wonder if I can drop it down a peg or two with the new rubber.

Now for pics

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • 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!
