<3 my fumoto drain valve, still going strong after 5 years

Don't like your neighbour? Piss on his lawn with oil

Then sit there for 5 mins while you refill your car with oil and he asks what the f you're doing with a loud skyline on his property...

never really got those,

takes a few sec to remove a sump plug...

go have a beer and do something interesting.

come back few sec later sump plug back in place.

so it saves you a crush washer but in reality takes longer.

meh

still don;t trust a ripple strip vibrating one loose..

Realistically it takes a few minutes to get a spanner, reach under car and locate it to remove a plug and then have the oil piss all over it / bolt potentially fall in the pan, then replace the washer and clean the thread before putting it back in. I chuck a pan under the car and flick a switch. Mess free oil change anywhere anytime. It's handy for cleanly draining oil overfills too.

As a fastener it's no different to a sump plug so can't think ripple strips would hurt it any more than a sump plug. For that matter I doubt ripple strips would be any worse than some of the corrugated gravel roads I've driven on either. It's fun having a quick, hail-damaged daily driver and not caring too much what you drive it on.

Anyway, I don't really need to sell it on its merits, but I do think they are worth having if you do regular oil changes; might be one of those have to try it things.

Hey guys, what's the difference between the 52T and 56T for the Garrett GT3076R? I'm looking at running two of them for my TT setup on zee 6L but Commodore blokes are useless with turbos.

Aiming for the 500rwkw mark if that's any help?

seriously doe, speak to Tao from hypergear and ask him about it.

He recently made 2 custom turbo's for Cat's LS1TT that makes huge power and they are right on the money

i'm going to take a wild stab that the 56T is larger

Cheers mate, I heard the 56T was larger too but not sure in what regards though? Is it to do with the impeller?

Also, if I'm not running Garretts, my tuner has reccomended Turbonetics. Haven't heard much about Turbonetics on SAU so thoughts?

I LOVE the supercharger! Very snappy and loads of fun. But I got over it and want to get back behind a turbo (two of them at least anyway).

Don't wanna discuss price but the buyer is gettting A LOT of bang for buck.

Put it this way: I chucked it up for sale on a couple Facey buy/sell pages and had 4 calls regarding it within 24 hours (2 were interstate, where 1 was prepared to drive down from NSW to pickup that weekend if I could get the blower off in time).

Pretty confident both would make your goal easily, on around 6psi most likely. ;)

Sweet! But is there a spool difference between 52 and 56? (Like that's even a legitiment concern on a V8 LOL)

Only 6psi?! I was hoping to run about 15psi on E85 LOL

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
