Trip out to the Riff today ( I survived- phew :whistling: )

Came back with this in the back of the Wagon-

7940974378_86c0984f81.jpg

6000 for the Stagea, and 3000 for the Nugget.

Nugget won't know what hit it after doing 100k kms on Castrol Magnashit.

Good prices- $4.47 and $6.83 a litre before GST. Better than $100 a bottle of that purple stuff.

Noice! Check your boot for stowaways...

Do they do a 10W40 SynX 6000? Or is the difference so minor it's not worth worrying about?

I'm running the 5w40 Syn X 6000; it's perfect in ours.

+1

Oem is 7.5-30w, so is just a jump in the other direction to 10w.

Not putting it in for a little while, but will post thoughts when I do.

And if it's good enough to keep scottys motor together after all the abuse, should be fine in my lil tractor.

Carried 30 plastic/steel stackable chairs in the back of mine on Saturday to be transported to my sister's wedding ceremony, and it's the first time in almost 6 years of ownership that someone (other than my old man) has driven my car without me in it.

Forgot to get a photo.

I put a treadmill in the back of mine the other day - needed both front seats as forward as possible to make it fit! But it just squeezed in.

Today I put my partners old work toolbox in the back of the stag since he got a sexy new black Snap-On toolbox for work..

So now we have to remove all stickers and give her a good old high pressure wash off and make it look like its original red..

Had to take the wheels off to fit it... but it fit! :D

Riding low with that in there?

haha not really, My car is almost as stock as they come.. I can't really lower it because all my dogs total about 150kg so if I do, I won't get in the drive way :(

but it did feel nice with the weight in the back :P I will eventually get some sort of suspension but for now money is tied up elsewhere

It's still in there, and it looks like my car is actually HIGHER.. lol

(pardon the bird poop, I haven't washed it since the stag cruise the other day)

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
