Hey guys keep ur eyes out for a set of Garrett GT2860R -5 for me, looking to pay around $1500 for a 2nd hand set looks like thats the market price from past sales on the forums.

just msg a guy about some -7s see how that goes, gona have to call apon the bank of thy father for this purchase if i get them lol.

-5s will be useless unless you upgrade alot of other things to go with it, you wont be able to run much boost with stock fuel system etc... and will just be laggier

Lag is for fags! lol

But if he is planning to upgrade the other components later and run more powers you could handle it for a while....... I purchased my car with a high flow and 199kw and checked a set of injectors in and it jumped to 250kw!

Yeah, lag isnt good! Response is where its at!

I had a little drive of one of my mates mates S13 in Sydney several months ago..

it had a forged motor, rollcage, bucket seat, t28bb hi flow etc. Had about 240rwkw from memory and it was stripped out so the car weighed bugger all.

it was that moment I realised I f**king love twin plate clutches, only because of that cool rattle noise they make when the clutch is pushed in. Only thing that is a bit of pain in the arse is getting off the mark, but gear changes are so crisp and smooth!

Anyway the guy took me for a drive to show how it goes when its opened up, anyway thrown back in my seat by 3000rpm and started going sideways by 4500rpm and safe to say I shit my pants. Felt a lot faster and less safe than the 370rwkw R34 GTR single turbo Ive been passenger in (which completely opened up at around 5500rpm)

Nope, its dead quiet but with 4600lb clamp it takes whatever is thrown at it so far........ The rattling is amusing for around 3 seconds!

thats the plan, for now im broke, ill have to borrow some cash from my dad till next pay (monthly pay) to buy them and have them put in, but if i can get them cheap then ill be saving like 2k. Im going to be putting a haltech platinum pro in it with injectors. So i figure if the turbos are rooted then i may as well spend a bit more and get a good set of -7/-5 for now depending on what i can find max out my injectors now and just deal with it till i get the ECU/injectors. I can get a set of stock GTR turbos for like $400 but ill find on on saturday whats going on with her.

Snapped a picture of my catback....the TIG welding looks awesome

HKS says its 93Db (I assume the point where exhaust noise is measured)....so I'm not sure if thats with stock cat/stock dump pipe.

I've got a CES Racing front/dump and getting a 200 cell hi flow cat....

so with the addition of those and a few months of the exhaust burning in.... I assume it will be a lot louder than that!

Don't know how strict cops are about exhaust noise....but with that operation hammer thing, I assume Id get raped by the police!

as per previous post you may need some of this for hammer.

and as per the -5's the guy a msg today is selling -7s, i think they may suit what i want better then the -5s also

Don't doubt it, especially considering I'm only 20 so I dont think I will be treated very nicely at all.

Btw, who has seen this article.....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
