y the hell would i need to do homework on turbos that blow after a few thousand km's?? My turbo works fine. I think you need to do research my friend as to why ur stuff keeps blowing up :)

Maybe its similar to my turbo recently declared totaly screwed after 2/3000 K's :Oops:

Had the turbo high flowed and changed from roller bearing to normal oil bearing.

TROUBLE IS the oil supply line was not modified to supply a lot more oil to suit the oil bearings!

The std oil supply line has a restriction in the banjo fitting on the block to suit the reduced amount of oil required for roller bearing. :P

So I have now drilled out the banjo restricter so it will get full flow when it goes back on soon after being refitted with the largest flowing T4 comp wheel.

But I have retained the std small turbine housing with the backcut wheel for good low down response - hope it wont choke, but have a full 3" custom dump to 3" cat and 3" S/S exhaust. :)

LOL INASNT listen here if you actually used your 300rwkw on the track strip or even the street you would realise that stuff breaks maybe not turbos but other items.:P

or you are driving it hard and its jsut not making more than 200 rwkw to break anything :)

/me grabs his keyboard and raises it in the air :upurs:

I am infact heading to falls creek for work on tueday morning, so if you want you can meet me in bright and you can race me in my company car (BA XT) from bright to mt beauty coz there some sweet mountain trails through there :P

Or come race at sandown next month :)

No shit other things break, but we are talking about turbos and bearing faliure here and you dont need to drive it at the strip or track for that to happen!!

And even if my car was making 100rwkw its still more than urs does boxing.gif  

Peace Out :D

ahaha lolz, he was bagging me at mas for not getting a line, and he is NA!!!! ahahahaha the irony is sweet

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
