Hks made by Garrett to Hks specs, so made in USA, ball bearing turbo, say $3000 for a kit. KKR made by KKR in Korea, bush turbo, say $800 plus water/oil lines $250. Give or take a few $$. If your poor, and don't intend keeping the car - or inversely the turbo - forever, go the KKR. If you can afford it go the HKS, its like comparing an excel to a corolla, you get what you pay for. HPI had a write up on the KKR a while ago, issue 84.

yes

Gtst and Triumph speed triple luv 'em both. 290rwkw for the Gtst and what ever the factory delivers for the Triumph, hang in there, it gets way easier as you get older, money will come. My biggest hassle is weighing up a Skyline day and some motorcycle rally somewhere, which do I go to. So far the bike meets are winning, a ride, a band, and getting on the gas with my mates, fixes me up for now.

Balance pipe for a GTR, no balance pipe for a Gtst. I opted for the 100mm intake with the reversion flutes for my GT3076 aka Gt30r, just in case, to be sure, to be sure [and I have the Hks cast low mount and hi temp coated + extrude honed]. I have nil problems with it, but I am running with Tomei 256/8.5's so it will be just a bit different to std there as well. You'll need a Z32 with the Gt30r, std will not give enough.

Meow Psst Anyway whats happened to the 'roo's, they all dead, did they get buried or cremated??

fully synthetic = 10,000 for me, the polymer strings don't break down like mineral oil. I do a filter every change. My oil always comes out clean [but used] anyway.

no, but you'll backfire all the time and then get nabbed by the porkies

There are two different Vortex's, dark green 96 and white/gold 98 [bowser colours].

Maybe?? real world === probably

In area, what Rolls says is true. Area is larger. However there are other factors such as surface turbulance and drag that take away the advantage. A 3"pipe has less surface area for the gases to pass over than two 2" pipes. The best way to visualise this is to think of the gas as it passes through. The best way to visualise this is to think of the gas as it passes through. At the surface gas velocity is zero, and somewhere in the centre [depending on flow patterns] the flow is at 100% efficiency, in this case 2 may not equal 1. To be definitive about it you'd have to do simulated or real flow comparisons. But it will help to stop you dragging your exhaust.........lol

I've got a 9" angle grinder and an axe!!

I mate of mine just bought one, synthetic stock, stainless, mid heavy barrel, not a bad weapon, He reckons it shoots well. I'm yet to get a look at the recoil lug, Tikka used to have very narrow recoil lugs, so they had bedding issues.

I thought GZR33 was vidding the whole shebang

Ha ha I was just being a [email protected] .25-06>>will cull!!! Zero hold over at 275 metres, good for skins.

Have to be the tranq'ed option, a head shot would be ineffective, a projectile has to hit something solid to be able to expand and do damage.

If you look at the shape of the tank and wher the pump sits in the well,,,, and then look at where the fuel gauge pick up is, you'll notice that the fule gauge only measures the slab block part of the tank, not the well. The well would hold a considerable reserve, around 10 litres would be my guess. I can usually get 500km before I have to fill up. Guyra to Gilgandra highway miles, 520km, I put 52.7 litres in. R33 Gtst 18psi and 290+rwkw, but you don't boost much unless overtaking. Who says you can't have [a bit of] performance and economy.

HKS mushroom filter is a dry one if you use the new triple layer foam filter. I'd be careful how you clean a filter, some [not all] filters require a very strict cleaning regime, if you get it wrong then their filtering and breathing abilities are compromised. K+N comes to mind esp.

I know there is a story and really smart one liner here............. http://au.news.yahoo.com/080522/2/16z4i.html

The only problem with the HKS/Blitz/Trust etc is sourcing one without an internal wastegate. You can get them, or change the exhaust housing etc but they aren't as common or as easy to come by as the Garrett equivalent. The HKS pro series was external [and I think they are now deleted], but the Pro s series is all internal. I was originally going to go with a 2835 pro s until I read somewhere that the HKS cast low mount manifold had the best flow figures......that just started me off on a whole new tangent. Now someone tell me different [cos I'm probably wrong here].

My roo hunting episode............

Something 'one off bench' tests don't take into account. When deciding, you have to also take into account the oil contaminating the AFM sensor. Dry filters don't do this, wet/oil type filters will do it. Even if you only oil lightly and correctly, some can still eventually get sucked through. And no filter lasts forever, regular cleaning and routine replacement are essential.
