Would reckon the other grey one at $49k would be worth looking at.

we are talking a week to get back to me for a simple question - he called me quite a few times telling me how he wants to sell it asap so i thought he was eager to sell it but when i took it serious he went lockdown practically but just gave me more time to look at others - in terms of the grey one kms arent right - apparently he haas been in canberra for the past 2.5 weeks so unable to inspect - tried to call again but no answer

have someone saying that his car is one of the only ones in the market with a single turbo conversion so its quite rare hence making it valuable - are single turbo conversions really that expensive - looked through forums and asked some boys from the workshop - all mixed opinions on it ?

Sounds like a fkwit. It doesn't make it rare. Its not that uncommon and not that covetable. Like any other modification it can add value to the car or not. For me its a case of not.

makes sense i think his point in arguement was to say that its the only single turbo gtr on the market for sale now hence rarity.

lol you can take a shit on your bonnet and say your GTR is the only one that comes with an aftermarket feces bonnet - does not make it a sought after rarity.

dumb post is dumb.

news from original post gtr - he says that its never been hit as any owner would say i guess - he imported it from QLD from skylodge pty ltd autoshop located at 1065ipswich rd moorooka - i will do some research on them but now has anyone heard of them lol ? cheers guys

LOL with evos... Enjoy the constant gearboxes and transfer cases over 300kw

LOL in reality, there's more GTRs sitting at workshops and more running EVOs on the road. GTRs have their own issues like the well known oil control issue. Most importantly, EVOs are actually much faster than GTRs on the track

Thanks mate.... I have owned 2 very modified evos....

You know this is Skylines Australia?

Want to bang on how good EVOs are go to their forums.

You are bringing nothing to this thread. OP said he wanted an R34. Why question it? Do we question that you bought a Shitsubishi?

Never heard of them :/

Speak to Iron Chef about importing your own, get a feel for a price from him. Sure it will take longer but you will get a much better car from it.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
