Hey guys have been here for a few weeks now, thought I would come here and say hello because the wasteland looks like some fun and I didn't want to be too much of a random. My names Bill, live in the Hurstville area Sydney, looking at becoming an SAU NSW member as I want to get more involved in the car community, I love skylines always have, always will and everyone from SAU is nothing but friendly and seem like an awesome bunch of blokes. Interested in participating in some track days and things like that. Had a few fair lemon daily's in my driving career only two things worth noting are a Honda prelude (barely- not a Honda fan-boy) and a non turbo r33 gtst back in my late teens.

The prelude was nice and had nice creature comforts however I wouldn't enjoy the FWD, I loved the Skyline as you would imagine. I have a lemon Mitsubishi Magna as a daily which is on its way out and is also due for rego, I'll be getting something cheap with some rego to get around for now, almost at the end of my saving goal to buy a weekender.

Other then cars, I'm not into too much as a hobby anymore, was never into the clubbing or the going out scene, more of a hang out with friends grab something to eat and relax type of guy.

Was into bodybuilding for about 5 years quiet seriously, dont go too often anymore, enjoy some fifa on PlayStation so if anyone wants a game pm me.

Thats about it, happy to be here, if anyone has any questions let me know!

Cheers, Bill

Welcome.

definitely join the club.

as a cams affiliated club, you can get your license and enter motorsport events.

great bunch of people.

either way, hope to see you on some cruises.

Cheers on the replies guys( and girls) , definitely going to join up, anyone have a link and the easiest way to go a bout becoming a member? Is it possible to become a member even if one doesnt own a skyline at the moment?

Have no pics on the set up, nothing fancy, dont have a skyline at the moment and probably wont for a while. I was going to get an r32 GTR but with the age and maintanence on them i've decided to go for an evo for now, (dont shoot me) still really want to become a member and participate and become more involved in the whole motorsport events and cruise scene, surely there are a few NSW members that have evo's and different types of cars other then skylines?

Don't get me wrong skyline will always be my favorite and if I had enough I would love to get mint series 3 r33 GTR or an r34, just dont have the funds for it at the moment, later on in life when I am set up a little better I'll definitely be going in that direction..

Before someone says why dont you go and become a member of an evo club, simply because an r34 GTR was my dream car growing up and I have always loved everything Nissan.

I have been browsing these forums for so long and cant help but notice how friendly and helpful everyone is, just seems like an awesome crowd to hang around and I feel a lot more comfortable in this community.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
