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 like they don't raise their hands into the air when they shift their sequential boxes, seems to be a thing here in Australia lol...
    • I'm not normally one for posting random videos, but I thought we'd all appreciate the honesty about how broken our cars tend to be lol. Genuine skyline life here.   
    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
