  1. Do you have the manifold and gate to go with it? What size compressor cover does it have? 2.4" or 3". It could be basically the same setup as I am running which means around 250-265rwkws is doable if you have all the right bits and a decent tune
  2. Seriously cheap turbo!
  3. 44 but had loads more in it conidering the problems he was having...thought he put it on the trailer early after popping the engine that weekend as well
  4. Lewis you dirty little root rat. Would think if Lewis leaves a club with some girls who come back to his room then you would have to think he could do better than these munters!
  5. That S15 was quick at PI too with very limited running...Nicely built and presented car
  6. So what McLaren are saying that is a gold kart with some sparklers off the back is as quick as their 2012 F1 car
  7. I want to buy locally, but not when I can import and even with shipping charges I can still get a free tyre. ie only pay 75% the local cost. I don't understand why their pricing structure is so much higher then OS agents
  8. This is doing my head in. So the RS3 are cheaper then the AD08 and 595RSR...so maybe these would be the go. I have to go local if I want to enter PI, or can import and go with a saving. And may I just add, I dont begrudge anybody a living. Good on them being able to make a comfortable living...but I got soem local vs import prices for RS3s and they still come out$200 cheaper if you import them ... Crazy!!!! Long live the internet. Oh and Artz...no dice re pads....it seems I made the offer to someone else previously and never got them back Leon got my old spare calipers so whatever Sumitomo pads I had left I think they were in those GTR calipers. I do have some F40s with near new pads though
  9. Havent listed above but also have an R32 RB26 block which has N1 water and oil pumps, crank collar and rwd sump. Was rebuilt less than 5,000kms ok but a ring failure means slight scoring iin one of the cylinders. Currently running R33 N1 pistons and balanced, shot peened std rods with ARP bolts. Asking $800 collection only....otherwise it will be the building block for the RB24
  10. So just read a review and in the same dry test on a track the KU36 was only 0.2sec slower then the AD08 and are about half the price. They claim they actually have more grip but dont have the feel or stability of the AD08 so in some of the quick changes of direction the car wallowed a little. Tempting to try and get some 275 rears and 255 fronts. Have to do some ringing around in the morning
  11. Well I got done for a scary amount of money due to tax law changes whilst I was working OS. That burn meant I couldn't buy an R31 GTS-R that I am pining for
  12. I am waiting to see what tax man has in store for me this year after years of being severelly anally raped by him. I would like to make the most of the next few track days with the RB20 making the power it is so will hold off until i have some AO50s. That was if the engine pops then I at least had a chance of getting the most out of the setup with a std RB20...as the next step will be stroked goodness with billet bits, multi throttle inlet and 6 speed
  13. Nope...I only have my 18s with a set of 10yr old Pirellis that have bulges in the sidewall My 17s are bald and wont pass scrutineering and can't bring myself to spend 2k on tyres...so no track work for me until I have had a holiday
  14. It still has a 20G on it at the moment but have a billet TD06L2 to try when I can get around to installing it and the tuner is a little bit quieter. Racepace are pretty busy with preparing some World Time Attack entered cars so don't want to bother him with tuning my thing until he has had a breather
  15. Update: ummm, not much really happening. I put a new battery in it...I have a new low temp Nismo thermostat, new silicon radiator hoses, electric thermo fans, and wiring my data logger back in over the next few weeks...but before I start any of this I need to finish things on my Cossie inc rubbing back the engine bay for a respray. Then with the Cossie running the R32 will be going up on ramps and will be installing new chrome moly rails for seats, and installing some custom undertray and shrouds on the front...but this is all things that are sitting around waiting to happen. Part of the reason I have not run around and done more thrashing in it is I think the little 5 puck Extreme clutch that is 60,000kms old is struggling with the 300rwkws
  16. Why is that? I dont run a boost controller so you only need to connect the boost pressure source to the bottom of the gate. Std prings whatever they are.... i just run a very crude bleed setup whilst I play with power and different turbos, fuels and tunes And Tommyd32gtst, my thing is a pretty basic setup...have had the car for 13 years so had enough goes at getting it right and my god it is still way to rough for my liking in areas.
  17. So you are asking me to unpack them again ? edit... you are looking at around 105mm vs 100mm. Not 100% accurate as I didnt have a rule to it on the bench to accurately get the outer radius...but there is only ~5mm difference, 10mm max!
  18. Loads of people have problems with manifolds where they have to weld their own wastegate at the collector, even 6boost etc have the problem. The best bet is to shorten the length of pipe between the collector and the gate as much as possible. If you weld it like below you should be well positioned to have good boost control
  19. Except it would be a custom and you would have to machine out the housing to suit the larger 25G wheel...but can be done
  20. Pictures can deceive... Man they are a great looking turbo. Shame the 20G housing doesn't have the Performanced by Trust...Greddy casting in them
  21. Will take a pic tonight of them side by side
  22. I dont have any tyres so if someone is doing DT and wants an Instructor I would be stoked to get out on the track and try not to confuse you ARTZ, I will check my box of tricks I may have some spare Endless CCX pads for std brakes
