Paul saw the car today with the turbo installed but as I have no transport I cant really get there from work to have a looksee :D He said it looks good, shame he hasnt got a digi cam he could have taken some pics. I posted a thread in forced induction there is a picture there of the turbo with the wastegate attached prior to installing it.

Time for a quick chat.

Got back into Perth on the WE after 5 weeks holiday in Europe. Managed to pick up some ocntract work back there - so I'm back on the plane on Saturday for a 3 month stint!

Not a realy comfy assignment and will obviously miss my girls (wife and daughter) but looking forward to tax free fold (I can see a new pair of snails for the "R" being bolted on in November).

Hope to catch up for a cruise when I get back - and no more bloody offers to drive my car when I'm away!

$1500 drive in and out. I know the wastegate is around $600, so say $450ish for the exhaust to be made and put on, leaves around $450 for labour (removing old turbo, putting new turbo on, making braided oil line to suit, blocking water line, modifying intercooler/pod filter pipes to suit turbo)... *shrug* be something like that.

Be careful what you wish for - one day you wake up and you realise that time has given the experience (read grey hair) to go and do it. You also realise that you're married, have kids and a huge mortgage.

Wish I was at Uni again (of course with my present salary!)

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
