SOLD

I'm gonna have to go for a loan too. Looks like i need to borrow around the 35k mark I earn decent money, have about 35k saved up (including the value of my current car). Been employed here for 4 months so far. Any idea if I will have difficulty getting a loan? I think my biggest problem is that I wanted to buy property, but cant afford to do both the property and the car. although I think i only need 5% of the value of the property as a deposit plus the 1% loan insurance

on my advice, get a 9 puk cerametallic single plate from UAS. It will cost you $650 and will handle whatever power i had ~ 500hp Drives like stock also

Hey mate Selling them because these wont fit in the new car I have a guy picking them up tomorrow, so these are pretty much gone

Then go get them. $500 is still cheaper than $550 and these are new anyway. There are no hassles with shipping and you get to see before you buy Then theres the whole what happens if i get caught out by customs and have to pay 10% gst and 10% duty

cmon someone must want a set of near brand new coils ?

you guys make me jealous I havent had a proper drink since about last weekend Yeh, I cant make this one either

Be prepared to spend all your money on these stupid cars. I know I do, and everyone else on here seems to also Enjoy it !

must've stalled it as i drove past whoops

how did the stock car sound ?

saw rukus in his gtr sex on my way to work today at about 7:15 on george st in the city. i blasted past you before i realised who it was You shoulda seen me

i second pete's suggestion except there are multiple slabs for spectators to drink

I spent about 6-7 hours last night reading up on turbochargers, and other technologies, trying to make the right choice on the next car. Having experienced the garrett gt2860R turbochargers, I can happily say that doing some proper research is a valuable thing. I thought I might like to share/ask for your opinions on what ive learnt to maybe shed some of the myth behind turbochargers. Theres a lot of stuff I didnt know, that I now know First of all, the reason for me spending the entire night reading up on this stuff, is that I wanted to find a turbine which had fast spool and decent output. My current setup is (was) a garrett gt2860R-5 bolt on turbine. Funnily enough, garrett has uprated these turbos to 360hp (which is probably the reason why they were a bit laggy and power hungry). http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_707160_5.htm I have compared many dyno sheets to my own particularly in terms of spoolup time and can happily say that there is negligible difference between these and the HKS branded 2530s. Full boost hits at around the 4800 rpm mark, which is precisely on target with the hks units (based on my mods ) For after market turbine statistics (the other than genuine) this chart is excellent in comparing turbine stats http://www.geocities.jp/bnr32labo/sub10.htm The second thing I tried to find, is another turbine set with very similar specifications. And i found this: http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/wildhippo/img10301215989.jpeg Now the hks ARMS 7660 has a slightly smaller compressor wheel, and has a smaller A/R on the compressor. Its spoolup is very similar to mine (I had 0.5 bar at 3300rpm just like in the pic). Full boost hits at about 4800rpm. Note - these are all on a stock bottom ended rb26. If anything, these should spool up quicker than a 2530 due to the smaller compressor housing. Based on all these facts (or whatever you want to call them) I started comparing turbine technologies for my next possible turbo setup. I was quite keen on the gt-ss turbines, but i seriously doubt they can make the power that I would like them to (500-550 REAL ps). Now all the turbos here are made by garrett, and I dont believe there is any whoop-dee-doo in the hks compressor covers of all the hks gt series turbos (could be wrong) that actually make a difference. A quick comparison between the hks gt-ss and the tomei arms 7655 which are a very similarly sized turbo and are rated at very different power outputs. For example, as a twin setup, the tomei 7655 are rated at 500ps, and the gt-ss are rated at 320hp each. Now, noting that more flow through a turbine can only be achieved by having a larger trim on the compressor OR exhaust wheels - trim is the squared ratio of inducer/exducer in the compressor/exhaust wheels. Now noting this, the 7655 turbine wheel exit diameter is an extra 5mm in size. This clearly suggests that the turbine will not run out of puff in the top end side of things (am i right or wrong?) and the tomei should flow more, albeit with a slightly slower spoolup? I've been wondering about this all night, as to why the power differences are so significant. Im tempted to fork out the extra 100,000 yen for the tomei turbos, but nobody has used them, and nobody either here the uk or nz has an opinion on them. Google searching japan reveals nothing. So im not sure what to do? This graph shows the relative spoolup of the tomei range of turbos - its interesting to note, that there is a significant difference in output between the 7660 and the 7655 turbos even though there is only a few mm difference in comp wheels. Suggestions & opinions? Im probably going to get blasted for the anti-hks stuff ive said But are they really as good as they say they are, or are they just fairly well matched turbine units to the rb26 Another thing I've been wondering, what would it be like to runu a slightly larger turbo but change the headgasket to something a bit thinner. Eg, there are 0.9mm metal headgaskets out there that raise comp to 8.7:1 . Would this be a safe manner of reducing spoolup times, while running no more than 1.3 bar, or is this unsafe ? Cheers Tommy

he could be out by the chassis number ? no harm in that

Has this vehicle even been complied ?? http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RAWPubVehSearch.asp A search in this doesnt reveal anything

Just checked the garrett website. These turbos are rated at 360hp by garrett EACH Which means they are good for around the 650hp mark @ 1.6 -1.8 bar http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_707160_5.htm

Here you go Its a 00 vspec in sonic silver The rest you will have to work out yourself

There is no nismo badge on them, just a nismo part number These read up to 2400kg/h of air. The 300zx ones read about the same. Just because the z32 afm's are 80mm doesnt mean that they are better. The whole point of an air flow meter, is to measure the air passing through the inlet. Both the z32 ones and the nismo ones read approximately the same amount of air, so both are an upgrade for the gtr. Think about it this way, your compressor inlet size is 65 mm, so whether you got 80mm or 65 mm afm's it really wont make any difference. Keep your current pods or stock airbox and go for big power with these afm's

Need money for a house deposit. These are going back up to the top

I have my nismo AFM's for sale. They are no longer needed. In excellent condition. They were only on the car for about 5 months. Perfect upgrade for a stealth big power gtr setup with stock airbox OR pods which fit the stock afm's Im after $750

im guessing the shipping will cost a fair bit in that case Oh I wish we had the same prices on 2nd hand parts that u guys have

You're looking for an igniter box towards the rear, where the coilpack loom is http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t++igniter++r33

Check if you have a series 1 or a series 2 engine Post a photo up if you're not sure

high 11's 11.7-11.9

id still prefer the gtr over the boat.
