this ^^. Your other options are to get a -7 turbo or rebuild your current 1 for like $400? built to n1 spec so you can run heaps moar booooost. Your other option is to just get a blown turbo really cheap from somewhere and when you get the chance upgrade it to n1 and then just swap it over whenever you get the chance.

yeah scratch that. Pretty much new turbo or high flow the current 1. Both will need a tune so add another heap of cash there for a nistune etc. Just drop the boost down and wait till the turbo starts blowing smoke, then replace it lol

14psi is not guaranteed instant death for a turbo. It's heat that kills them so if you only boot it occasionally and for short periods you will probably be OK for a while. But 14psi would not be OK for regular, full throttle stuff like multiple drag runs or a track day where it has long periods of high boost and no time to cool down. I reckon NAP is onto it, there is probably a simple plumbing problem.

As for gtr turbs....n1 spec is OK if they are ball bearing (ie R34) but terrible if they are bush bearing R32, R33 or "nismo". They are still a pretty small upgrade, so maybe not worth all the hassle unless you are doing it yourself

um - not sure that's good value for money. Check through Cooma Diesel (GCG, Garret reps) the cost ....

I was quoted $900+ per turbs way back when.

New = $1250ea for -7's. Now they are $2300 a pair.

You may wish to join Erics GB on the HKS ss' when you find out the price.

He's doing a pair with full kit for $3k :D

(expect commission if he does Mr Deziner)

Of course! ; )

Actually there has been very little interest in it so far.

eyy guys just been noticing theres a higher theft rate of cars now in the ACT. I think theres a group thats started stealing peoples cars just as a joke. The shit thing is that my immobiliser plays up all the time. Anyone know of any fuel pump cut tricks or something to stop them. Ive just started putting on a steering lock thats only for overnights though as i park outside.

A steering lock sounds good. Might chain my car to the wall and purchase a pitball dog to sleep in the car overnight. I'm going to start parking around the back. Just a pain to get in and out. But atleast I can purchase a tent to cover it without looking like a nob lol

Switch in the Boot, on the Fuel Pump wiring would do the trick.

Not a Bad idea at all...

Im thinking about that maybe maybe making it wireless like how you unlock the car. Saves me the effort of opening the boot but if its gotta be done ill do it the hard way.

Do we have any word on where these steals are taking place? North side / south side of even suburbs?

if you want an unobtrusive way to make sure it doesn't start, just unplug something important in the engine bay, but leave the plug touching but not properly plugged to it's normal place. The crank angle sensor plug, ignitor pack or resistor pack would all make the car crank but not fire.

assuming they aren't towing it away

So far they have mainly been going through the Northside (Charnwood). Been seen driving commonwhores (vn, vr or vs, a supercharged stato and a ute).

They got chased last night at around 3am but got away.

They are stealing cars and car related parts (wheels, turbos, front bars etc...)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
