Where did you get your induction pipe from Mik?

PM sent re key

Even closer! When are you free man? I might pick up that wastegate actuator at the same time.

Does anyone have a compression tester i can borrow? I am able to provide some sort of alcoholic beverage as payment if needed.

Having redundancy drinks with work folk, I will pass on tonight lol

White r34 party!

Finally got around to fitting a factory ac thermo fan. took a while to get the intercooler to line up right and its mounted a little lower and its tight but its better than no thermo fan It has a bit of a miss after sitting for almost three months. Hoping its just plugs or something simple.

That's a really........COOL....idea

WHY ARE ALL NIPPLES DIFFERENT?

I like the return flow a little more. Don't know why, i think i find the return flow has better aesthetics. I think it will bring better chi to my foronto bumpu. I am fairly sure 33's and 34's use the same pipes going down into the guard.

Pictures look awesome. Looks like loads of fun.

Yeah that's what I want to do. I could mount my washer bottle normally if i did too. Plus it looks a lot more stock and moving to melbourne next year I know they are a lot stricter with modifications than they are here and I want to avoid any unwanted attention.

Wait....what's going on today?

Thinking of going to a return flow intercooler and getting rid of that ugly pipe over the engine and replacing the fan with a non trimmed down one. What I am chasing is the stock intercooler pipe that goes into the crossover pipe as mine came with a front mount I never had that bit.

Awesome thread. Gives me lots of ideas for me in the future.

Mine is in the 2617 until it's fixed then it's back to the 2615.

Looks the goods dude.

Thanks for that link. Does the appointment include an inspection or is it just sitting down at a desk and filling out forms and handing old plates in and getting new ones? Sorry about the ignorance :3 ACT laws are the only ones I have ever known haha

Thanks for the help folks. I would bring fireworks if I could, the fun police took them away from us years ago. It made peoples dogs bark or something.

Does any one know who the local tyre places that deal with federal are?

I'll see if I can get it off work. Hopefully my car is back on the road by then.

Spent the day replacing the last few old, dried and cracked joiners for the turbo outlet and crossover pipe and replaced the low pressure power steering lines. Half the day was spent driving around northside to a few transmission places to try and track down some 5/8 trans hose, ended up having to go out to enzed in fyshwick to get it. I think i have fixed more issues on my car since it's been off the road for the last few months than I have the whole 2 years I have owned it.

Hey folks, I am moving from the ACT to Melbourne next year and had a few questions that some of you can hopefully help out with. Registration wise, if I am bringing a car from interstate to Vic do I have to go to an rta inspectation station or do I just go to the same place locals get theirs done at? Also related, do you guys have to get yearly inspections like NSW or do you have a similar system to the act where you get inspected when you first get the car then don't need an inspection any more unless you get defected or rego lapses? Police wise, what are the police like with imports? In the act unless you a driving like a tool or your car clearly looks like its in breach of the law they will normally leave you alone. Is Melbourne similar or are the police quite strict? Sau wise do you folk have weekly meets somewhere? Also any other information you think might be useful would be awesome. Thanks in advance for any answers regardless of them being helpful or not.

Still have the stock turbo and ECU and running stock boost. The turbo is starting to show its age so I am looking into a highflow, gtrs or 3076r and a power FC or vipec/link ECU. In the mean time I will just throw a healthier turbo on to tide me over. I am moving to melbourne at the end of the year so probably won't get any of that done until I have settled into a new house and job. Power wise I am not really sure, I haven't put it on a dyno yet but guessing 150-160 maybe :S that is just a guess though.
