Hi everybody....

I've been a little bored with my skyline lately, the power is just wearing off on me. I decided I'd buy a new turbo, I wanted something fairly big, like a GT3040 but then thought... nar I'll get my m8s down @ ABC Engineers to build me a custom. They rang me up the other day to tell me it's finished & have sent me a photo.

photo below...

I was quite happy with photo they sent me, the turbo looks to be in good shape. I also had a good laugh when i seen the photo because it looks like the boys had a 'dress up & look like your from the 80's' day at work.... those boys... always fooling around. Anyway.... I showed my ricer buddy & he also wants one but he want a pimpin orange one so they than made this one for him.

Both turbo's will be installed shortly, I think each is good to flow for around 130 - 150 thousand kw

I'll keep ya posted through the installation to see if i have any problems & solutions so people like ya self dont have the same problem when u go to install a turbo of this size.

Cheers :rofl: lol

Are you going to be running some N2O to spool it??? I dont think the 2.5L will work too good...

I also think your mate with his hondarh or whatever he has will have much luck, but hes got more revs to play with, so you never know.

PS, I think your "mates" are ripping you off dude... they are missing all the housings!

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
