It'd be great to see this thread revived. 

We should look at getting little cards to leave on cars - SAU Spotted cards! Then they can come and check here.

Spotted a GMG R33 GTSt (rego 94-GTST) yesterday in the car park in Winston Hills shops and was following it along Caroline Chisholm Drive, then Powers Rd, then Station Rd until I turned off into my street to head home.

I was in my white Golf wagon

Just saw this ! And yes I'm a bit slow OK !

Bloody hell have I had those plates for that long ???

Yeah it’d be nice I wanna have a look at another local r34 need to check the setup of an original front bumper brackets, mine were butchered to fit an east bear style GTR bonnet and I’m going back to a GTT setup style bumper from JSAI.

Just now, Bells Line of Road North Richmond. A few R32 GTR's, a 33 GTR, 34 GTR and 35 GTR. They will surely catch the RS Liberty, Starlet GT and 370 Z's just ahead.
Was the cruise to mega long valley.
And yes, everyone got there(that I know of)

Spotted an immaculate 32 - GTR Vspec1 in a pristine pale blue metallic this afternoon @ intersection of Bungaribee & reservoir @ Blacktown. - rolled up behind in my dodgy-spec purple R32 GTST. Driver acknowledged with some hazard lights - stupendous looking machine mate!

Found a R33 GTR, been sitting in the same spot at work for the last year, the owner has left NSW apparently, I've spoken to the local authorities about it, they are unable to contact the owner, it is getting close to being classed as abandoned and getting removed for disposal.

If you own it you better take it, if you know who owns it, you better tell them that there are eyes on it.

Mine included......

Saw the matt black R33 with the drift style boot lip again near work in Eastern Creek, hadn't seen it for a while but was glad to see the owner hadn't gotten rid of it.

Yeah, that's me. Mostly save it for the weekends, but drive it to work here and there. Not getting rid of it, just planning more hectic road trips ;^D

Spotted this clean R32 parked outside my office in Mascot , looks like afresh import still had Japanese tags on the windscreen  . I asked around but no one knew who owed it. Might have been one of our clients or a contactor.

    • 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.
