Thanks guys.... will have to have a close look at some local cars then, not to keen on buggering around with bringing cars back to standard.

Thinking of importing from Japan under RAWS. Most places tell me that the car needs to be returned to standard before it can be complied. But how standard is standard? Aftermarket exhaust, mild bodykit, rims? Do all these need to be changed back to standard in order to have the car complied?

There is a few floating around in WA .... check out www.prestigemotorsport.com I am sure they are importing them.

Was a good event, plenty of R32 skylines mixing it up with the silvias which is great to see. The R32 with the SR20DET sounded crazy!!!

I find its best to just keep crusin until you hit a roundabout then follow these easy steps, bang it down to second, redline it through while hanging the rear end out, then check the mirrors to see the heavy front wheel drivers hit the skids.... follow that up with a shit load of Leyton Hewitt "CMON'S" and your done for the night.

I heard them say over the PA that there were cops blocking a part of wattle ave and pulling over cars. We left at around 6ish and just went the other way, no hassles. I saw the stock looking red evo there with a yellow???? wierd

Yeah I think we could work something out with him...

It is true this is the only dyno the car has been on, but for years it has been whoppin my R33's arse... exact same mods yet always pulls away....I am sure I was even running more boost!!. It is the same with heaps of other modified R33's out there. Cruises, on the way home from a car show whatever, always pulls away. You really need to ride/drive it and you can feel that it pulls harder than a similar modded R33. I am sure he would chuck it on another dyno --- your shout of course

I think he is bringing the car back to you to replace the standard dump?? As we are not going to pull the car apart maybe you can check out the turbo when it gets done???

Yeah i am on the case, so busy with work at the mo. Gotta convince my mate to let me rip it all apart so i can check it out.....he is more like "who gives a f%&K as long as it hauls ass" gotta say im starting to agree there. Will try get some pics soon to.

No Cams or headwork that we know of. Definitly standard capacity as NIB said the car looks like it has never been touched. Has been running with the stated mods for more than 2years now at the same boost level and never had any engine troubles so reliable??? HELL YEAH... I guess we can all just say that this car is just a freak or posible hi flow turbo?? We wont know until we pull it apart I guess...

My mate recently had his R33 GTST put on the dyno. Ran up 319RWHP..only engine mods are air filter, 3"exhaust from the cat back, front mount and running 1Bar boost. Guys at the workshop say it should be only pushing out around the 260RWHP mark which sounds about right. I always thought something was weird about his car as my R33 had the same mods plus some extra and still struggled to keep up... We thought it was a standard turbo and it looks as though it has never been replaced or the heat shielding removed.... any thoughts???? is there an easy way to check what turbo without pulling to much apart??

Hehe Gold dig it

Two houses down from me can connect to ADSL but I can't!! Its all Telstras fault.....grumble....56K...grumble....2K download speeds...grumble

I found that going to less known specialist workshops is much better than getting engine work done by the so called 'jap performance' workshops. Had my head done on my 180sx in one day. Dropped in on a Mon and picked up on Tues. PM me if you want a recommendation.

What makes you say that? I know a few people on this forum who can

Hi Guys, Just setting up a manual boost controller, not on a skyline but a CA18DET 180sx. It is a turbosmart item, the one where you need to adjust the small screw to change the boost level. Has anyone set one of these up before and can you provide pics on how it should be installed? Cheers B)

What year model?

HAHA So true!

If you have steam coming from the turbo side you may have a small hole in the heater piping. I dont think oil makes steam?

Nah dont bother, just a waste of time and money, but if you wanna do it, DO IT. My 2 Cents

I live around the Thornlie area and unfortunatly there are so many wine red R33's driving around. I have seen at least 2 other wine red R33's with quite a similar drift style wing, Will continue to closely scrutinise all that I see though!

Anyone with an internet connection and the ability to search google can have a science degree these days :flamed:

Thanks guys, so far best price for an R32 GTST half cut is $2000 from eastern states workshop. Thanks boosted_R30 but im going to be needing the brakes off the cut. No point getting a bigger engine than keeping shitty brakes. Teejay ill get back to you when I get some more quotes on fitting.
