i'd also research the dealer and what they're rep is like before goin ahead too...

if its to be a daily driven car, and your first turbo car, i'd def go the gtt. you will be able to get an excellent condition gtt for the price you're looking at, but only an average GTR. also, you will undoubtedly spend money on both throughout your ownership, but i'd say the GTR is more likely to sting you pretty hard. another thing to think of is insurance, get quotes and add that in your budget. good luck

read the thread topic then read his first post.

anyone got a link to that backyard job honda civic turbo from years ago...? could be helpful :s

is this the test? - http://www.e-monitor.com.au/ needed a log in for some reason to get onto the ALS website, but the above one says it is performed at ALS. looks like it wouldnt be a bad thing to do every 6 months or so to keep an eye on things

how much is it for rear bar and side skirts only? might be interested. im also assuming the front bar wont work with standard bonnet?

lol, na i think he meant r33 & r34. prob missed the shift button

I'm in for a meet for sure. So who's organising...?

+1 on wheel specs

spotted a look a like on the way to work this morning on the geelong-bacchus road near lara black 34 gtt with big front mount, silver volk challenges and offset number plate. nice car

car gets 1/10, thread is steadily making its way to 10/10. keep posting OP, we'll get there

snorkelling at Hanauma bay is def worth doing, prob my favourite part of my hawaii trip

used to have the titanium nismo one on my last car, cant believe i forgot to switch it out when i sold it... looked and felt awesome but fark it could hold the heat! stubby holder over the top does the trick on hot days looking at goin for a nismo leather one for the 34

No probs, this was all i really needed to hear mate. Cheers

thread starter shoulda searched...

Update please, any eta for those who have payed?

the reason you havent found anything relating to "rear/mid mounted" turbos on skylines is that its really not necessary, they were designed with a turbo in the perfect position. it may have been done before on other cars without the space in the engine bay, but that doesnt make it a good (or even viable) solution. from what i can make out, the only reason you are thinking of this is from a p plater legality point of view, but you do realise there will be big ugly pipes going to and from this secret box of yours and any half mechanically minded person who looks at your engine bay will know something's not normal. add to this the ancillaries you'll need to support this and it makes it even more obvious, you can only hide so much. its good to think and research stuff like this when you're new to turbos, but more often than not if its a great idea then it would have been done plenty of times b4. scrap the idea and save up til your off p's i reckon

i get around 10-12L/100km, depending on driving style and type (city/commuting/fun) mild mods (PFC/[email protected], 200ish rwkw) gen works out about 500-550km/s per tank (mostly commuting)

IS THIS EVEN STILL GOING AHEAD....?

or look here - mat group buy great quality and cheap compared to most out there

absolute classic.... go to the 'options' button at the top of the first post, change the layout from 'outline' to 'standard'

...?

Wheels still for sale? very interested, and in melbourne.

anyone know the sizes and offsets of these factory 18" rims and how much you'd be able to pick them up for? starting to think they'd look nice powdercoated black on my black 34 if the offsets arent too bad... if anyone has some they'd like to sell, pm me edit- just searched and answered a couple of my questions lol... OEM 18's are 18x8 +30 offset all round.

what are the offset on the 9" you're taking off the front? get under the car and check their current internal clearance then use the wheel offset calc to work out how much further in the 18x10 wheel's inside face should sit. this is obviously ignoring what is going on with the outer face and guard, and will really only give you a basic idea of whether it will work or not. or even better.... seeing as tho you already have the 18x10 on the rear, why wouldnt you just trial fit and see how it goes...?
