Not sure mate, just give 'em a call.

Well you stated the magic, money saving, phrase: DIY Mechanic's do it to earn money, so it need to be worth while.

Honestly $200-$300 is not a steep price for the work involved and parts needed. To get it done properly, it's not going to be a $100 job. The problem today, is that people look at these mass produced, badly fitting, China kits and use that as a base price. Well in China workers get paid $20 a week, use shit material, and produce a poor quality final product. Just because you need half a kit doesn't mean it will cost half the price to get it custom done.

Just a quick question. Why didn't you hide the return pipe behind the fmic, instead of coming back under it. I think it would look a lot neater and make fark all difference to the flow of the cooler. EAS Performance did all my piping and fabrication work on my car. Contact details below. Old Setup: New Setup:

Yes

Having flared guards without the wheels to fill them would look pretty strange and imo homo.

Happy B'day fellas!! Hope you both had an ACE day, all the best!!

Pfffffffffft......... I think you have lost count I remember we had this discussion when i was SAU VIC Vice Pres, and i could tell you that was more than 2.5yrs ago; let alone how long your car has been off the road for . There are some members like Saff (Alan) that have never seen your car on the road since they joined SAU

MAX!!!! Hey mate, long time no see/hear. Glad to see you back in a Skyline (well soon anyway). Would love to have a look at one close up, as i have only seen them from the outside. Hope to see you back out on the roads and on club cruises. All the best Alan

That is NOT flared, it is rolled. The exterior look of the guards have not changed.

Genius.......... Did you continue reading after the first line of my post before posting?

Don't understand about 50% of what you just wrote Troy, read over it about 5-10 times and still no go, sorry. As stated previously; speak to the people in the business (turbo dealers: ATP, GCG, etc) and discuss the issue. From my chats with my mechanic i still believe changing the ext. housing will solve the issue. Just something i just thought of Troy. When a std turbo is hiflowed, they fit bigger wheels inside the std housings, so it just goes to reason that more than one wheel size can fit in a housing. I don't know too much about the engineering or a turbo, but that is why i have stated that Andru speak to a expert. I do know that the same a/r rating do come in different sized housings, not sure if that is the case between the GT30 and the GT35 as they belong to the same "series/family" of turbos

Here is mine

Car was running, but currently being stripped and rebuilt as the machinist/crack tester missed a hole/crack in the block and i had oil weeping through, from one of oil drain galleries. Obviously not paying for anything, just inconvenienced as i am without my car again; especially when the build exceeded all my expectations/goals just on the run-in tune. I am located in the Western suburbs, 5mins from Calder Park Rwy. Would be good to meet up once all our cars are running properly, unfortunately Matt had some issues over the weekend as well, so i couldn't drive his car. Running a Extreme Turbo Manifold and the setup is currently internally gated. I have compared pictures of Kyle's manifolds with the ETM manifolds and they are very similar in design and quality. The only reason i went with ETM is that, at the time of order i never heard of 6boost and after i paid for the manifold, 6boost started getting a really good reputation on SAU. I agree with what Kyle has stated; that a really top quality, efficient, manifold will require better boost control at low boost settings. He is obviously trying to go out of his way to help you resolve the issue and sounds like a honest person.

Not sure on cost, but you have a new ext. housing (ie: new turbo), so you should get a good trade as 0.86a/r housings are very popular, thus can be resold very easily. Give your turbo supplier a call and see if they are willing to trade, with cash adjustment, or give Kyp at ATP a call. Nope Matt's is definitely a GT30, same as mine on my 3.0ltr. Hence why we want to drive each others cars to feel the difference between the 2.5ltr and 3.0ltr engine, as our engines almost have identical bolt on parts.

My turn to ask can you read posts properly Your new 2nd WG hole is useless not the 6boost hole/location.Just a some food for thought: Your set-up and Matt's (Yellow R33 GTST) setup are almost identical, except he is still using the 2.5ltr and you have a 3.0ltr, you both have a 6boost manifold and he even has the 90deg extension for the gate. Why isn't he having boost creep issues? The difference; he has a 0.8#a/r ext. housing on his GT3076R, you have the same ext housing on a bigger turbo that has a bigger ext. turbine. Is it starting to sink in now? Go to ATP, trade your ext. housing for a 1.0#a/r housing and your problems are solved, instead of spending twice as much on a 2nd WG or a bigger WG.

Greg nothing stops you filming the builders unloading, etc, on you property, then you sending the vid to the builders saying here's the proof and here's the damage, pay up or i'll see you in small claims court. You need to also contact the council and builders to put up the parameter fence, this will stop them going on your property, especially when you erect some temporary fencing across the front of the property as well.

Great event and even better night!! How funny was it when Chris's brother was kicked out the night club for dancing?

No need to mount on the side For hard street driving there's heaps of flow to the cooler, for track days i take the plate off.

HAPPY B'DAY!! Hope you had a great night and a better day!

Has anyone at R.E. rang any turbo experts (ATP, GCG, etc) to discuss the above mentioned probability, before hacking the manifold? They may have agreed that such a efficient set-up (manifold, exhaust, etc) will cause the turbo to keep boosting due to the smaller ext. housing and large ext. wheel of the turbo. Putting a W/G at the base of the collecter is almost useless, as it is directly opposite the flow of gases. What do you think is going to cause the gases to do a u-turn, of flow, and exit out the 2nd gate, instead of continuing on through the turbo. If a 2nd gate was required it should have been placed on the opposite side, of the collector, to the existing w/g, at the same angle.

That's the most farked up, stupidest, response i've ever heard. Seriously grow a few brain cells

Honestly guys if you are going to turbo an n/a car make sure you also do the brake and suspension upgrade. My mechanic drove a R33 GTS-4 that had been turboed and he honestly shit himself when he tried to stop the thing. All you need for brakes is a set of GTST calipers, slotted rotors, good quality pads and Top quality brake fluid (i use Motal RBF600: $40 per bottle)

Then you'll have no event as all the volunteers/officials will be sinking piss in their heated cabins all day and night
