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

    • 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.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
