Well it was better wasn't it... and proabbly with a different tuen it'll get better. How did it sound?

your right about the tune , but i wont be bothering for a while now . you see i hurt the motor . now smokey at high revs and using oil .How did it sound ? Wish i had taped it , it sounded great , nothing like the sound of a twin cam at full song , lots of induction roar and the open extractors screamin , luv it .

As for the engine , i have another rb30 block which i will freshen up and put under it .

UM I not too sure whats goin on with the engine . its not using oil , even tho it has smoked a couple of time at high revs . in fact the oil level has stayed constant in last 500 km since it last smoked . also one of the breather hoses isnt hooked up .

maybe i was being bit of an alarmist ,

this weekend am going to do a compression test .

apart from all that it seems to be going as strong as ever .

oh yeah did i tell you that i bought another skyline .

well it was cheap a 5 speed series 3 r31 WAGON , ( yeah go the wagons ) and its powder blue , nice boy colour lol

damn!!!

i wish i could find ones like that

all the ones that i see for sale are auto's and heaps of sh!t

how cheap was cheap???

$950 and has perfect body and interior , would you believe i havent seen it yet . bought it off ebay in NSW , friends down there checked it out for me. its coming up on a transporter next week .

Woah dude that looks very clean, especially the engine. What are your plans for this car?

As the body of my red wagon is reaching its use by date , will transfer the good gear across to the " NEW " blue one . It will be a sleeper , keeping it absolutely stock on the exterior , standard wheels suspension and ride hieght . Should even keep the standard hubcaps on .

you should HPC coat those extractors, get heat wrap, wrap them and after that make up a stainless heatsheild  :D

this will give you the coolest intake temps possible  :O

YEP GOOD IDEA , will probly wrap them

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
