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...)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
