yeh not many S.1's around.. :rolleyes:

For some reason to do with import regs almost all Australian imports are of turboed Stageas whereas in NZ the big majority are n/a like the Rips car was when he bought it.

Epic build. I can't believe this is all done with stock diffs, driveshaft and suspension. Insane!

I'm not at all surprised that this beast is as stable as it is... that was one of the first things I came to appreciate with these cars after putting the foot into my 260RS the stability under speed and in corners is quite a surprise and a pleasure to drive.

And the series 1 ain't nothing to frown at... I restored mine with new silver trim and grey lenses on the front from Dolphin (original 260RS) part and they look mean as hell from the front. Plus it's all colour coded, I get heaps of looks and positive comments from randoms on the street.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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🤷‍♂️

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By nxh · Posted

      Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
