just got my TD05-18g last week...agreed, EXTREMELY quick delivery, was only 3 business days (ordered late Tues night, here first thing Mon morning). Missing the bullet nut I had ordered but they shipped that out quick too and got it today. Trying to fit over the weekend and found a couple of issues. Longer studs I bought didn't fit as they were m10x1.25, and manifold end being m10x1.5. I did read that in one other post but most other ppl said m10x1.25....wasn't entirely unexpected anyway. Oil drainpipe it came with is useless, 17mm not 19mm, and way too short to reach. Drilled new holes in flange of OEM drainpipe and used that. Waterlines were biggest issue. I want to have water and oilcooled, not just oil, but the banjo bolts won't even come close to fitting in the top ports and allowing the hose to screw on. Unless they're pointed straight up in the air which is just ridiculous have read that both of these ports on both sides are for water, and ok to use either the top or bottom, but the return should be the upper port, is that right?

I think the hicas ones might have the body pressed into the hub, and would need hub removed to press them out.

Lol thanks for offer...and sales pitch... But i'm ok. Yep i know about the safc/timing, or more impotantly, so does my tuner. Anyway lets get back to the antisurge thing, ppl use and recommend?

Thank you. What are your thoughts on the antisurge housing for it?

Thanks Dale. I do have the safc neo but of course more just for tweaking rather than redoing the tune. So plenty of ppl seem to run hiflows ok on stock ecu, guess the td05 is a different story tho. Pity, cause these are such a great price! And so much good feedback on their product.

Oh that's interesting, are you meaning that it will be flowing alot more than stock at that psi, or its too low for the td05's efficiency range and would need to run higher boost?

hey i've had a search of this thread and googled but didn't find what I'm after, most of it seemed to be about the rb20. I have an r33, daily driver auto on stock ecu and stock engine, and it's staying that way, although an safc neo ready to touch up the tune a little once the turbo side sorted. Usual 3in exhaust, hiflow cat, fmic, metal intake mods. I've been looking at the TD05 18g with 10cm housing and antisurge cover here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-Bolt-On-3-Anti-Surge-RB20DET-RB25DET-TD06H-25G-T3-10cm-/281245773483?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417b8deeab what are people's thoughts on this on the rb25 and running around 13-14 psi? Like I say not looking to change engine or ecu or run any high boost so don't need anything that will flow more than what I need, really after response (esp being an auto) and a turbo the 'right' size rather than room to make more power I'll never end up using. I notice it's also about $70 cheaper from the kinugawa website rather than ebay, is that a marketing thing, or any catch there? also the bullet-nuts they sell, while prob not a big difference it does look like it would be better aerodynamically (and they look sweeeet)....people's thoughts on those, and use aluminium or steel? I really don't know too much about these so very keen on people's opinions and experiences. Thanks!

sweet, will have to drop in for this.

bought these links for my R33 Skyline when experimenting with making an adjustable swaybar conversion. Didn't work how I thought and never got round to using these, brand new and never used, only taken out of packet. Bought off ebay here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360688963581?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 can post anywhere in Aus or deliver some areas of Brisbane. $35 posted.

Keep it red. Fuel is dangerous and flammable, firetrucks are red for a reason, and your fuel rail should be too. Surprised they're not that color from factory.

Is it that guy that is username sriverkillr or something like that? Posted ads on gumtree, boostclassifieds etc for wrecking skylines?

I've used the $12 one from autobarn, its a ballbearing/spring valve type. Maybe Orcon brand? Cant remember. Anyway, has worked a treat for me and have bled brakes with it a few times now.

Who are these made by?

can everyone please stop saying "we" when referring to the forum here? I'm on this forum and speak/think for myself just fine. Hate to break it to ppl, but there's hoons that drive skylines like dicks, and have excessively loud exhausts, not just commo/ford drivers. Same as every other car group. I live off a fairly main road going up a hill, and plenty of ppl drive cars with v.loud exhausts up it. It's pretty bloody annoying. I also drive cars with fairly loud exhausts.....so yes that can make me one of those ppl too. That's life, we're all hypocrites at one time or another. I think the OP's put a balanced viewpoint forward. It's an awesome section of roads, very enjoyable for a spirited drive and best enjoyed with no other traffic in the way. He's acknowledged that. Driving on the wrong side of the road racing, I don't know how anyone can defend that. Dunno about his tuning tips but hardly a big deal, debate it if you want or just 'whatever' it and move on. I didn't take these 'threats' apparently made too seriously and thought it was done in a joking enough manner. To the OP I'm most definitely not a supporter of the new hoon laws however, this sounds like an instance that could warrant their application. Video footage, details of incident, rego's etc, to the authorities wouldn't be a bad idea. Endanger only yourself? no worries, natural selection at work. Endanger others, say by driving fast on wrong side of road at night? no sympathy whatsoever and need to be removed from roads asap.

the police themselves are often fine to deal with. Just doing their job, and with a minimum of fuss to the public and themselves. The concern would be the the push from the powers above, to make laws that take away freedoms and rights, and then push the police to start enforcing them.

jeezuz...welll, i'm confused...very in-depth post, can you dumb it down for me, in layman's terms? Re "Even so, I would expect launch/longitudinal traction to not be substantially better on a 335 vs a 235 of the same tyre (if they existed). I would expect maybe some small difference, and that might be worthwhile, but it couldn't be night and day." in theory then given a dry day on a bitumen surface of reasonable quality, a 195 cheesecutter would have roughly equivalent grip to say a 265?

i got quoted around $170 for replacement shock, easily available. Front passenger was knocking, confirming by swapping out with other struts then swapping sides....but....it went away, without needing to do anything...? Still going strong so far so good. Have had them for about 2 1/2 years now.

Yep not much of a difference, but then again, doesn't hurt either...and really, every littld bit helps...IMO a mod doesn't slways need to be a 'big' difference to be worthwhile. If yr getting it cheap, chuck it on there.

Neither lol, will be sweet f.a ... But seriously, on mine it made it "slightly" more precise steering, probably more just keeping going where u point it, on the oversteer side i guess u'd say. Prob notice more on track, which i've not tried.

From the look of it, it is the brace that joins the castor arms so that shouldn't be an issue. Search the cusco braces and see if they list the same one for both cars, for a more definite answer.

saw a burnt out r33 by the side of the road in industrial estate in Inala today, dunno if anything to do with yours but it was like ouchhhh....buy yr own car u carnz instead of stealing someone elses...

Everything toyota is better lol, higher quality materials used. My nissanhead engine builder mate even agrees. Broken exhaust studs not common on toyotas but seems expected on nissans after a while.

use your mum's hairdrier in the intake....cos hot air into engine makes it easier to burn faster
