My Name is DJ

Hello from California USA. I just got mine well not technically because its still on a boat. Hopefully in a few short weeks I will be able to see it for the first time.

I also have a 2016 STI and a 2004 SRT4 Stage 3

Seriously though! If a 1200HP Bugatti Grand vitesse w16 quad turbo can get a California plate and pass smog I know that the RB26 can easily. Sounds to me like It's more political than pollution related obviously. From what I've researched It's been done but the costs to bring a gmv into compliance are upward of 10k, and well 15k is what I was quoted for the skyline then it has bi annual smog to pass regularly so no aftermarket mods either. Thats absurd I just want to go to car shows, visit the track and occasionally cruise it around with other classics. It wont even see 1500 miles a year. We have stupid hippies running things around here though. As soon as it arrives godzilla and I are going on a vacation to a no smog state for a few weeks to visit some family.

12k Is not a bad price. Any pics? GTR?

Damn I only paid $12k for my car lol couldn't imagine having to pay another 10-15k just to drive it on the roads.

Haha u really do need to get out of there. I'm still surprised New York isn't so stricted aboot this stuff

I didn't have anything to do with the import process. Bought it from this dealer.

They are awesome there. They do all the importing and don't put the cars up for sale until they are at their shop in Richmond. Basically it's just like buying a car like normal lol no hassle of doing customs crap and trying to do anything international

Put cash down today on a Nissan Stagea Autech 260rs, should be delivered by mid next week

I'm thinking I went through the same agent as @sopwey

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @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.

    • 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!
