also, bought car with cooked motor, you just did a mohsen.

seriously now.

do LS TT

no... buying a car with a blown motor would only be a mohsen if the motor blew on the drive home

Still deciding, it will really depend what comes up. If a built 26 pops up, I'll consider that for a cheap and risky way out. Otherwise, budget may allow for RacePace to rape my wallet.

Was making 340awkw with the HKS turbos before engine issues (it's actually still quite driveable and the engine idles smoothly besides the sound, so don't know how far gone it is), which sounds plenty for me in a street car. I'd like to put it on sugar cane for response, though.

On the cosmetic side of things

This was a very nice 33R at Sandown on the weekend

Thanks gents

It's gotta get to Melbourne first and that was an absolute nightmare organising transport on the day I was supposed to be flying back :O

Transporter knocked it back cause needed 15cm ground clearance so I had to remove the front lip and leave it in ACT...no biggie as it was damaged anyway. Took off the brake ducts too but they are with me.

Chuck a thicker oil and she'll be right moite.

I've done my share of interstate car towing...prolly would have if I still had access to a race car trailer and time wasn't an issue.

$400 depot to door from Canberra, pretty happy with that.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • 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!
