Cya All....Goodbye....RedLineGTR


Recommended Posts

Well….think I’m going say “bye” to the forums, over the past couple of months I have been on the forums less and less…why?...just trying not to spend so much time on the computer :) work & study are the main reason and I have wasted too much time on the forums trying to contribute over the past couple of years with informative posts, photos of cruises etc & just trying to help new users etc. recently my account somehow got deleted/disappeared losing all my achieved messages, rating, threads, pm’s etc. Just starting up a new account is just a waste of time as all I had linked to my account is gone and it’s like your starting from scratch, after this long time as a contributing member.

In general I’m not happy with accounts going missing; not just mine other members in the Victoria section, as well as the whole Vic section somehow disappearing in the past and other events. The Victoria club which had been in the plans for ages had finally seen light after dragging on for months…close to a year, though it’s still getting organised etc, I don’t see it being so successful for the factor that most people I believe are just in it for them selves when suggesting ideas or options, not looking out for the paying members for the club. A lot of the committee members are committed to what they want to achieve but it is useless without the whole group being on the same wave length.

If you had the time to read my post & have met me before, I thank you for your time and the conversations had throughout all the cruises, meets, bbq’s.

Judge this post as you may, you may find it whiney and childish. But I don’t mind I’m just sick of putting effort into things that get erased easily, the negative attitude and selfish ways of some users.

Best of luck with the forums and the Victoria section.

See you on the forums in the future, if not then on the roads…

Thanks For Your Time. Cheers Rob

...we're back on the air!

I really need to check-in to "forum users anonymous"

*sigh* we are working on it Rob. If you wanna leave before you give us time to fix it, then so be it. I'm still trying to find your old user ID so that I can try to recover your old account.

As for the Vic club being organised... its been on the cards since 2002/2003 when me, dox and meggala thought it was worthwhile. Its been a long time coming and its finally falling into place, the guys in the comittee have put a lot of time and effort into it, and as we find more people who are willing to make that dedication and sacrifice of time we try to involve them as much as possible... eg the addition of bass junky, clarkey and scotsman into the organisational group.

The club is run by its members, and if there is a paying member who needs his opinion voiced, all they have to do is attend a monthly meeting and bring it up. We run a democratic club, not a dictatorship. If you don't want a certain committee member in the committee, then all you have to do is vote to throw them out.

One thing we don't need which dosen't help the club go forward is politics, bickering and cheap stabs... be proactive, and not reactive.

Take care Rob! you're a champ, dont let the forums get you down.. Everyone needs to take a break sometimes. btw, are you still gonna detail my car? :) we can go chaddy and perve on some hot euro chicks :) haha. See u around dude.

:D

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
