Hey guys, been reading a few older posts about the hypergear highflow sevice and was wondering if anything has changed since. How's the customer service? Reliably?

FYI. I have a R32 Rb25det S2 in a datsun 280z with about 100k kms with newer timing belt (80k kms) and N1 water pump and N1 oil pump, intake, stock injectors and coils.

It's a service that I'm looking to pull the trigger on next October. And was wondering if sending my turbo from Canada is a viable option. 

Thanks everyone 

Richard.

HG still good. Highflow still good. Very much worth contacting Tao to discuss your requirement before deciding what you're going to do, because the HG website proffers so many options that are hard to rank in your mind as to which is the better choice.

Absolutely not worth sending your turbo to Melbourne for the job. HG can supply a core for a fee, which would be quicker and only slightly more expensive.

I'd also think that the brand new ATR turbos, which are bolt on to a slightly less degree that the highflows are, would be a smarter choice than a highflow these days. The exhaust side can be bolt on. The inlet side would need a new inlet pipe, which is a good thing anyway. Worth talking to Tao about that also.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
