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.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
