Well long story cut short, was too drunk to drive back from valley the other night so thought i'd do the responsible thing and let my friend drive who was not drinking (i know, i know never let anybody drive ur car...), got about 2kms away from valley when he lost control in 2nd and slid into a concrete barrier on the ramp leading to the se fwy, impact was not big but was enough to squash my intercooler, smash my front L light and damage front L fender. I have all new aftermarket parts to fix but need the front left of the engine bay (where the intercooler pipeing goes thru) pulled out and straightened a bit and the crash bar repaired. Can any one point me in the direction of somebody who can repair this well and has exp with working on Skylines preferably on the southside (kuraby area) that aint gonna charge my thru the ass...

I am also going to need a pair of wide body Left and Right fenders and TR style front bar trimmed, prepped, fitted and painted, so if anyone knows anyone with good experience in this field. Please let me know.

I seen a few Liners drive past me on the night too (embarassing...) Damn tow truck that night cost me $250.00!!!!!!!!!!! too.

Yeah, he's a good mate and feels pretty damn bad... I am gonna help him out thou as i feel partly responsible. The car is setup to drift so dosen take much effort to get the rear end out, something he didnt seem to understand until he decided too put his foot down.... so i kinda feel bad for letting him do that especially considering he drives a front wheel probe.

i dont know where u live but mandrakes in cleveland do a good job ive been told. And relistically if your car is designed to drift it should be harder to loose control sliding out. the whole ideal of SETTING UP your car to drift means that it will stay in control

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
