Yes flanges and posted for $250. Just shoot George an email and I can't see why the price would change in the last week or so. There was no temp sensor port which I didn't think to ask for or check whether it came with one.

Send George a message directly thru ebay or at his website. He was great to deal with. I paid the money Wednesday (cleared Thursday) and the cat arrived on the doorstep on Monday.

I have the venom sitting in the garage if you want to have look before buying. I can take it to work which is closer to your place if it helps. It has much better materials, welding etc than my last one that is rattling itself to death. Ceramic biscuit fail on the old one.

Venom seem to supply quite decent quality 5" body 100 cell metal with 3" flanges for $250 delivered.

The irony of this statement.

You will probably need to specify additional circlip grooves as they are often machined after market.

It was a good finish by Button but was it an awesome drive really? Safety cars, red flags, punting two other cars.....makes it a bit of a mixed bag of poor driving, mediocre driving, good driving and good luck.

Schumacher had Webber lined up at turn 1 on one of the restarts but didn't punt him. Lucky there wasn't a WDC resting on it. Very un-Schumacher-esque. It was great to see Schuey actually looking like he should be there rather than looking like Rosberg's lapdog.

Has the vacuum hose supplying the boost sensor been blocked off or is it leaking?

After watching it again today you can see that Vettel swept wide on the same corner the second last lap with JB keeping well away from the edge of the dry line. Next time around he was a whisker wider and that's all folks. I agree with Dezz if there should be a second activation point for DRS.

The aftermarket ECU and tuning will be the biggest difference. If you search forced induction you will find a thread by rev210 on how to get 12's on a 33 with as much stock gear as possible. The stagea is a lot heavier.

Thread bump of old post but just confirming that it will work on a car with a PFC. I tried some of the procedures listed here and changed the frequency of the blinking light but couldn't clear a slow flash but with perserverance had success with the following sequence at the end. 1. turn door light off by holding switch (at door or roof) 2. turn key to on position 3. immediately switch light on at least 7 times (airbag light goes out) 4. start car

This defeated me yesterday on a S2 R33. I loosed everything to get clearance but I couldn't get my hand in there far enough to have any idea what needed loosening. For me I would need to loosen the dash and lift it up to see what I am doing. I cbf taking the dash out after spending 1.5hr under there trying to get it loosened and tightened back up. My neck said enough was enough.

Some previous VG threads with pics and info. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/265984-is-my-vg30-45v1-turbo-ballbearing-pics/page__view__findpost__p__4541913 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/235837-vg30-turbo/page__view__findpost__p__4131308

I don't think you will see much difference. If the compressor is really the same (which I am not sure is the case) then it will be pretty much identical to a neo turbo. The turbine housing probably allows another 10-15kw or so headroom when hi-flowed/rebuilt possibly at a cost of some response. I think that you will be limited by the compressor anyway. The R33/S1 Stagea turbine housing hasn't proven to be a restriction with a stock compressor previously. I reckon you will end up with 190-200rwkw (+/-10kw for dyno variance) assuming FMIC, 3" exhaust 12psi boost etc.

Vettel should have been another 10 seconds further up the road when Jenson was released but he was driving very conservatively so perhaps the comment wasn't far off the mark.

VG singles have the OP6 turbine housing like the neo RB25 but have a smaller compressor from memory. Unlikely it will be an upgrade. There are plenty of old threads kicking around about these turbos if you search back far enough.

He might have been explaining his own move across the front of Button

I didn't see that coming at 3.00am

Sutil for slicks? MW in for new tyres

Vettel fan eh. Do you like saunas too?

Massa might be a better chance of taking the fight to Vettel.....I can't believe I am typing this but he does look more comfortable than Nando.

Gold

Chalk up the first rear end moment for Massa. He delivers again.

me too
