In the last week or so I've also managed to go from, this: Ey2MEoa.jpg

To, this: xrQrspF.jpg

Along the way I also discovered the source of my clonking noise, which turned out to be a completely shagged lower left hand control arm.

Lh/LCA: aIv8yP0.jpg

In the next coupe weeks I'm expecting to have that replaced with a new LCA and then I can start fitting up the rear brakes and my new 4.11 2way cusco Diff ;)

4.11 cusco 2 way waiting to go in: e1Ban6n.jpg

Nick are you trying to work out price for insurance purposes?

personally id be going agreed value minimum of 20k.

its a custom car, "paint work" wheels, suspension, engine conversion, mods to conversion.

gotta think about what it will cost you to replace it.

Last one i know of that got sold went for more than 20k, therefore worth more than 20. Typical pom!

my micra is worth 3k.

so i put a turbo and 2-3 grands worth of work into it and its worth 10?

your talking shit matt.

cars worth 5. engine is worth 2-3. labour... no idea.

f**king 20 grand. have a word with yourself.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
