I'm not saying they don't work but really they are not very much if at all cheaper than Garretts and due to having a plain bearing core you do lose some response(and that cool whirr down noise after the cars turned off :P) I just don't see them as excellent value for money.

Yeah but with the Garretts you miss out on the left field R&D that Stao puts in to individually better each of his turbos, such as his FNT design, which makes a significant difference to lag. My HG is as responsive as equivalent BB Garretts pushing similar power and produces that power at a lower RPM - dyno graph was actually comparable to that of an HKS GTRS, but for half the price. This is using a Nissan comp cover too - gone are the days of highflows being laggy substitutes for a proper Garrett. Tony can attest how responsive my car is to drive.

He can do roller bearings and anti surge slots for Garrett money if you're prepared to pay for it, but there's really no point with smaller turbos - he's tested both designs and they produced much the same response. If you're not happy with a turbo he'll take it back and modify it until you are. Then if you want more power in future or to take advantage of upgrades he's made to turbos, he'll modify your turbo for a small fee. That's where I see the value in it...

How much? My mate is trying to convince me to buy a dirt bike...

6k flat with road reg till next year, (2009)

then i'll decide whether i ride it enough on actual roads enough or just rec reg it, possibly get motard rims and tyres too

there's definitely a lot cheaper out there if you aren't looking for road rego tho

also worth noting rego is cheaper under 500cc

dirt bikes are for bogans who like ruining forests and destroying silence for kms around.

i'd rather support hunters/shooters who actually enjoy the outdoors.

save your coin. for someone who lives at home, you sure do have a lot of space to put your toys.

Yeah, going to have to agree with this haha. Everyone on my Facebook who owns a dirt bike is a bogan, I find dirtbikes incredibly annoying.

Nah, love my car...not worth selling and I know I would miss it; supported by what everyone says here about their maroon R33s once they sell them.

But trying to decide if tracking it is the way to go, given the current exterior condition, or repair and respray for dat mint daily driver. Worried I'll miss it on the daily grind if I track the thing, worried about spending that much on a paint job and getting sick of it or it breaking in a few months / that's money that could be put towards an RX7 / something else stupid.

inb4 why not both...not getting a 3-4k paint job and tracking it.

Daily plus track till get epaed then get a nice daily..

This is the same advice I gave my brother, turn into nuts car until you get defected / EPA'd then take it off the road for track car!

Dirt bikes are fun as shit! no different to the 4wd's that run through those places either

camping with mates and dirtbikes > camping with mates and guns / shooting at shit

only the bikes stay in the garage car is outside :(

Drive it down a winding, fast dirt road in the middle of winter, and never clean it.

Look at it, go LOL its ugly as fark

then just drive it hard, daily and on the track, giving little f**ks about what you cannot see when actually behind the wheel

you should always take into consideration the HELP/HECS repayment based upon your HRI dude

At least then you will know exactly what your tax position is

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
