You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

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.

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

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
