Hey guys, looking at buying a 2 or 3 layer nomex suit and they are mega expensive. Even the 2 layer ones from Revolution are over $550.

Are there any other places in Sydney worth checking out? What about online is there a lot of money to be saved? Where should I be looking? My concern with going online is getting a suit that doesn't fit but if I'm paying half the price I'll run the risk and return if it need be.

Anyway keen to hear your thoughts.

^These guys were very helpful. After meeting them at WTAC, I was very happy to purchase from them. They even pay for the return postage to exchange the suit for a different size.

If you can, go and check out the trade stands at this years WTAC.

Pro tip: Always order a size up from the size you measure up to. By the time you sit it your race seat the suit tends to ride up a bit.

Sorry I ment in 2013. Not sure if they were there this year, as I couldn't get there myself. I just assumed they would be again?

Ah OK, i wandered around most of the stands and didnt see them... But its only a few hours away so am roadtripping there after i drop my car off at Road2Race on the weekend...

They have seats and steering wheels etc in stock to try out so its worth the drive! They seem pretty helpful so far over the phone and also came recommended from Boz :)

That is the Sparco Australia Distributor.

Address is 3 Pullman Place Emu Plains (#4 is the distribution warehouse).

Bought all my gear off them, just make sure you call before you leave home to make sure they will be open.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
