Check the forum traders for some of those parts. The 040 and Z32 might be cheaper buying through the forum with either justjap or CRD than going directly to their websites. Go to the for sale section and see what they can offer. Don't underestimate the stuffing around time with non-bolt on parts. I have used a HKS GT-RS on the stagea, they are relatively expensive but every nut and bolt you need comes with the kit. A true bolt-on. On the R33 I have used a HKS cast manifold with a GT30 based turbo but you need everything from a new intake, new dump, machining of engine mounts, new pipework for the BOV, I had to move the carbon canister, had to fabricate a new heatshield for the manifold.....and more. You either pay the turbo supplier for a bolt on solution or you pay your mechanic to make it fit. I don't say this to talk you out of one path or another just go in with your eyes open. Lots of posts are written by people that say it is easy to do this or do that but by the time you have run around you are often well behind unless you can weld, have a garage full of tools and have time to spend under the bonnet. Either way it will be fun getting it all sorted. (For your power target the GCG turbo with OP6 housing (ie series 2 stagea, R34 GT-t) will make the level you are after, a G3076 will get there easily but with a penalty down low).

GT3071 is usually a 450hp compressor (depending on compressor trim). The compressor cover is a little smaller than a GT3076 (500hp). GT3071 has a 71mm compressor and the GT3076 has a 76mm compressor. In Garrett form the turbines are identical 60mm (there are some variations on this with some coming with 56mm turbines but the most common nowadays are the larger ones). GCG hi-flow is pretty much a 450hp turbo but bolts straight on after all it is the factory turbo machined out for clearance for all new rotating bits. Hypergear turbos have so many variations that it is hard to keep up but most will require some modifications to either intake or oil and water lines. Nevertheless, Stao seems to be working really hard to make great near bolt on solutions for a fair price. My recent conversation with him was enlightening on another type of turbo. He was very gracious with his time. Z32 afm is about $320ish from forum traders. Measuring airflow rather than guessing makes the most sense to me. I would stick with a MAF based car personally. Nistune should be about $800 installed and tuned. Haltech will be at least 4 hrs tuning. If you are determined to go down this path I might be interested in selling my PowerFC.

040 pump too expensive. Nistune has to be the cheapest. You can get them installed and tuned for around the $800 mark. GCG hi-flow would bolt straight on with nothing else to do. No hidden costs for intake pipes or oil and water line modifications.

I have the Lucas pads on RDA slotted rotors on the R33 and they feel pretty nice as a streetable combo. I haven't washed the wheels or the car but the reputation is that they are dusty.

Hi GT I imagine that if the comp wheel rub on the housing and spits some fragments that make it through the intercooler you might have an issue.

Automotive Service Solutions have them I think their website is still petroject.com.au

I have a GT3040 on my HKS low mount. You need to machine the engine mount a bit.

All this sounds like a lot of trouble for a relatively mild upgrade that won't tax the existing pipework. If you need to reduce 4" turbo intake just make the pipe to fit the afm in stock position. It is hardly an issue there.

I have an injector loom in Sydney. PM me if interested.

The terminal speed difference on the straight was allegedly 1km/h different. So it is reasonable to assume there is something to be gained from drafting even a slow Lotus but.... Did HK brake 30m early? If so then you can stick the blame almost entirely at HK's feet. Try brake testing any F1 driver that is on your hammer and see what happens. Schuey almost rear ended Hamilton in practice by trying to create space when Hamo was on a hot lap. There was a huge gap between them but it was still a close thing. On another note does anyone else feel that when the safety car pulls off that the front running cars should maintain a minimum speed prior to the restart?

I have a feeling if most of us got in the pool then all the hotties would get out.... .....how come if Flava Flave got in there wearing his pink G the pool would remain packed??

to quote MW “I was going a lot faster than Heikki (Kovalainen) and then a long, long way before the braking point he braked - about 80m before - and at that point I’m a passenger"

I had Webber down for a double somersault with single twist in pike position with sportsbet. Very disappointed.

Did HK brake very early?? The closing speed was suddenly very high.

5 seconds more in car footage and we would have seen what happened to MW. The pool rocks.

Watching F1 from that swimming pool. Makes me think of Kimi Raikkonen for some reason.

Shhhh

It is SV's race to lose from here. He has the clean side of the track and quick car.

I agree the Nistune will get through emissions if tuned well enough. I am happy to sell you my PowerFC for $1500 if you want....but I would feel like I am taking advantage of you. Picking the brains of a different tuner might be worthwhile.

Massa is quick in some sectors this weekend but doesn't seem to be able to get a lap together.

How good is it to see the Kube knocking out some good times? He looks quick out of the box in Q1.

Ohh IC. I finished work at 2.15pm so I was no chance.

I tried calling Teren to check if y'all were still around when I finished work but no answer.
