hahaha... hey Paul, hope you can box before you come jumpin in this ring.. some of us actually get dirty and fix things other than intercooler pipes.. Not all of us just go to the biggest name brand store and say "Fit this, that and some of them !!...what ever it costs..!"

:shake:

yeah the test came up good.. 150psi in all cylinders.. so the bad news is that it is probably the turbo after all.. so i'm startin to look a litle harder now.

i know the car can withstand a thrashing geez said helpless not hopeless haha ;) But even tho its not worthy of the track in my opinion - haha im a perfectionist fellas its gotta be right!

I can get dirty, just ask Troy, he stood and watched me get stinky diff oil all over me, I think it was a turnon for him.

If the compression test is good then at least your ring lands and valves should be OK, just have to look at the turbo now. It was about time for a bigger one anyway.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah, me starring in a porn movie, I can see that:lol:

Osc@r, My mate has a GT2535 on his SR20 and it pulls hard from just over 2300rpm, and has got about 340rwhp at 1.2bar, if your interested then I can get you a price.

See'ya:burnout:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
