im going to my bank tomorrow, if they tell me what i want to hear , ill buy this site unseen as long as engine passes a comp test.

my 31 has been given an offer i cant pass up, and ive been wanting a ceffy , ill let you know how it goes

geesus... ur in perth :cheers: and here i was thinking i was going to have to wrap it up and send it to a regional part of africa :)

ok well should be able to go for a comp test on monday morning... so far 3 people have offered the 17k but no one has bid on it or put a deposit down.. so first in first served.

if the comp test or mechanics check shows something u dont like i will gladly return the deposit.

min deposit will be $500.

ok... update is that the comp test should be done by the middle of the week.

so i will put the results up then.

ok mounts are all fixed and better than the nissan originals

thanks to nice welding and fabrication job on my brother in laws part...

will be taking the car to a mechanic tomorrow afternoon to get a comp test done... will have the results then.

oh and found out today when the car was on the hoist that 1 of the wheels were buckled.... so im going to replace all 4 with a set of 17s with good rubber.

well now its not in need of new tyres.... no where near as much.

Id say 2k for the usual stuff for compliance... maybe another 1500 for rego... so to be on the safe side id say budget for 4k... but thats being very generous... probably wont come close to that.

ok its confirmed that the comp test will be monday arvo.

will post up the results (which i know will be fine after the nice test drive i gave it today for an hour) will be good.

so if u want it... express ur interest now as there are still a number of people on this and other forums that keep saying they want it pending the test... but if u havent secured it once the results are in its going to the highest offer.

more pics in my gallery... looks much better than the others... specially now its had a clean :D

people keep asking why i call it a drift pig apart from the obvious that it was drifted by Ken Satoh is that the interior isnt exactly in show condition ;)

took some good vids of it today but have to find the cables so i can dump it onto the HDD... u hear it coming 30seconds before it even comes into picture :( had some in car footage... but it wasnt exactly very steady with such a hard ride ;)

starting to not want to sell it now the more i drive it...

as usual when selling my cars something small but a pain in the arse tends to break... starter motor went on it today... its been shakey for some time now but i always thought it was the recharged battery playing up.

went and purchased another one today and will have it put on tomorrow... so wont be able to get the comp test done until tomorrow when its done...

also found out the CAT has been gutted and its shooting flames everytime it "pops" :)

ok... just dropped the car off at the mechanics so should have the results of the comp test by this afternoon.

yeah should shit it in with those 17s on it...

someone on NS said they want to put a deposit down on it tonight regardless of the comp test results... so... everyone else may have just waited a bit too long... then again it may not go thru... who knows.

nope... he cant make it til tomorrow... so... theres a days grace if someone wants to quickly step in :D

Diagnosis is in!!

"u cant get any closer than that" - the mechanic i took it too

125 across the board... perfect condition.

and what do u expect from a car owned and kept by Ken Satoh?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
