I think mightycarmods made a video testing out one of those for shits and giggles... im pretty sure it was a huge successssss :rolleyes:

I didn't know mightycarmods had the same engineering skills and quality as BMW?

well technically a supercharger is something fed off the crank.

so it neither really. just an electric fan giving the system slight pressure.

in my books they have missed a great naming operturniy here.

they could ahve gone with

megacharger

protoncharger

supermegaawsome elctro boost system

It would require a decent torque high rpm motor, my only concern would be reliability, clutches in the Turbo + electric motor there is a lot more that can fail, and given a normal Turbo goes for 2k, what's a fancy electrically assisted one going to set you back?

SO had dealing with Osaka imports today.

only ppl in melb that seemed to answer phone/email and had a S14 door.

give them a call to see if they have one in the morning, didn't have one with the bits I needed (window, regulator blah blah) but agreed to grab the parts off other bits to get me a complete working door.

rock up 2 hours later they have the work done door sitting out the front and load it into the ute for me.

seriously in and out in a couple minutes.

why cannot more places work this well.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
