Thank you very very much! I don't know what I can say but thank you!

Hope he will give me the money next week.

Hope I will never need your help but I will give you a call if I can not solve this by my own!

Thank you guys!!

Hope you get it sorted mate!

Another plug for Iron Chef - never used (though he did source me a car previously! I bailed due to other shit coming up I couldn't avoid..) but I know people who have used him multiple times and are very happy each time.

The thing that Phil is most afraid of, is widespread bad publicity leading to oblivion.

Very kind of you Michael :)

Michael and Bob (who's been in business a long, long time) are on the right track.

Phil had better not be on a plane to 'an island getaway' on Wednesday.

Interesting.... I found this on gumtree advertised with 48k km... Do we think this is the same gtr and he is lying again?

Update for today:

Got PM'ed from Terry and n11smo as they offer me Terry's former R34 GTR Vspec II which is now owned by n11smo.

The car has the mods listed below:

Exterior - nismo front bar, side skirts and pods. Interior - alpine ina-w900e navigation/audio unit, viper 855xv alarm, nismo shift nob, gtr floor mats, nismo dash cluster. Performance - apexi power fc, greddy boost controller, garret 2860-7(n1) turbos, hks actuators, denso 700cc injectors, Bosch 044 fuel pump, tomei pro cams type b 260/9.15, tomei adjustable cam gears, split fire coilpacks, blitz front pipe and high flow cat, kakimoto n1 3.5' exhaust, acl bearings, nismo clutch. Engine was rebuilt and tuned @308kws at the wheels at a cost of over $7000 with receipts 4000kms ago and runs beautifully.

also tein super street suspension installed few hundred Klms ago brand new.

The engine was rebuilt about 5k ago duo to a incident happened in panel shop.

here is the story:

Because the car was being moved in and out of the shop the battery went flat. The shop tried to jump start the car which caused the timing belt to jump several teeth mashing the inlet valves. So the engine needed to be rebuilt, it will now run with no issues for a very long time, engine rebuild is at least 5-6k so a big plus to have a newly rebuilt, tuned engine.

here is the pic:

It looks like just what I want!

Hope this will turn out good.

And this thread will keep update until I finally get my dream R34.

You will not be dissapointed.

Goodness me. This thread delivered in a huge way.

Stopped someone from being ripped by EL and matched him to a peach of a car.

The car doesn't exist, he uses this as a marketing tool to lure people in to check out his shop.

That add has been on his website for at least a year.

Basically - buyer calls saying they are interested in this car, EL says, we just sold it, but i have others in the same condition and in stock now, come past the dealership and i'll show you...

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
