Hi all,

Thought it's about time to make a post since I've been lurking these forums for about 8 months now.

Managed to get a hold of a 260RS

Here it is immediately after purchase:

And here it is after vicroads abused* my wallet today:

Current notable modifications are:

Coilovers (still need to crank them down)

S2 centre console

And the next thing on the stag-menu is a turbo-back exhaust!

Since im new, treat me gentle ;)

Lol, welcome...sort of belatedly. Love the P-plates, one of the few cars fitted with an RB26 that won't draw cops...

Yeah I went through a booze bus 3 days ago and they didnt even blink :)

However full license as of next month anyway

Ive been driving it for about a month now and the only issue I have is a clunk in the rear when changing gears rapidly. It came with a catback exhaust from Japan and Ive been told that it is most likely hitting the rear diff as there isnt much clearance above it at all.

be careful with that, i got pulled up last week and the police officer told me they are pulling over stags alot more now becuase they have cuaght out a heap of "p platers" driving them illegally thinking police dont know they are turbod, i would be putting it in your garage for a month and not run the risk of losing your license or your car.... booze buses wont check, they are there for a reason, drink drivers, not defects.

Full license is as of 03/09, and I have my own business registered under an ABN, so thats how ive been driving it so far without risk.

Not sure if this is the biggest coincidence or what but same with me!

Full licence next Monday. woohooo!

btw, ride looks neat as.

    • 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!
