hey all,

just wondering can any1 comfirm info on warnys car thats up for sale?

Td06 with forgies for 23k...

who was the previous owner?

what shop did the work?

and hows it been kept from what you sau guys know?

keen on buying it

cheers guys.

fitted the TD-06 beginning of the year after selling the gt350 turbo it had before(check my trade record)

Td-06 was rebuilt by grant with better internals (low mount for sleeper effect)

Tial wastegate was chosen cos trust gates too big and i hate the name turbosmart (no offense)

has been well kept and most workshops will know it if you drove there.

Glen(hyperdrive) was the tuner (when i fiddled with the settings ;)

it was one of the first WA cars with forgies (GTRKEN calls it the $3000 piston car lol)and has had forged internals all its life.

car came in 1999 with 8000ks and sat between a maserati and lexus as a weekend toy/autosalon showcar .- its a late 1997 build so this is not fake.

friend left and sold to another bloke who also left country.

car was sitting in backyard when I heard it was for sale from evolution R

Evolution R did all the checks and bargaining and we had it from 40,000km+

changed a LOT of stuff on it that i didnt like( u will notice the number of stereo installs it has had e.t.c).

removed a little stuff before selling ;)

kept in contact with new owner for further assistance but havent heard from him lately (sup danny)

Only major drama was clutch problems=plates that need replacing cos we rode the clutch/drag combat (fabian) spigot bush/warping plates etc (replaced by imports 101 twice)

has a brand new clutch according to workshop i visited that worked on it recently(supertec)

most major skyline dramas like power steering pump rebuilds have been done(perth gearbox & clutch)

umm the list of stuff is pretty accurate except for a few gliches like the blowoff is a apexi twin chamber and the intercooler is the oldskool big end tank trust cooler (unless changed after sale)

everything else is there for sure (u can hear the tomei pump buzzing........LOL)

ITS ONE MEAN CAR. (no ABS)

hope that helps.

Evolution R will have most of the reciepts (maybe) but the rebuild was 12k and total of other stuff was 47k(when japanese parts were ridiculously priced). but these have changed, eg it used to have wise sports 19 inch wheels but now has 5zigens and thats the third exhaust (went from twin to single and back to twin).

had sparco bucket seats before and r33 gtr brembos (sold em cos needed spacers). do luck suspension braces (taken off). CDT audio speakers(replaced) and has had four interior retrims(trimcare) etc so u may not see where all the money has been spent

Mao at evolution r will confirm all this if he can be bothered to do so (u will have to pester him)

did not get it from rob 77 steve. surprised it is sick because the rebuild reciepts/wastegate custom job is less than a year old and been running 0.9 bar, but u would know better. As far as im concerned the turbo was perfect (talk to Grant hes the turbo expert and will show $$ worth of work). and the frontpipe was custom made by andre(xspeed)

I know he didnt buy it from Rob but its the turbo that was on that car in the past but was replaced by Full throttle for Jeff Issac.I think its getting a new Turbo 2morro.

when u talk about 'he' who do u mean? im a lil confused cos ............. AH WELL!!! heres where THAT turbo came from WHEN I fitted it.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...493&hl=kidd

sat in evolution R for a while, car getting other attention

after that needed FULL rebuild(peace of mind). 'minimal' shaft play just didnt cut it :)

Grant guaranteed it was 'better than new"

fitted with adaptor and new front pipe :)

internal gate didnt work(I was warned) :D

thought it was avc-r (it wasnt)

TIAL external gate custom fitted :)

frontpipe custom made :)

few issues solved (custom metal gaskets-manifold inspected for leaks etc)

started missing old turbo(car was off road for total 6wks flat & in and out 3 weeks)

rest is history :)

moral of story= its cheaper to buy a new turbo kit (trust me)

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
