well - that guy shouldnt have said all that stuff about a trader on the forums - he should have discussed his options or whatever through emails/pm/phone

and he should have also done research that where someone is foolish enough to talk a lot of shit, he/she will be ridiculed like this

Does anyone else see what i see?

And no, im not talking about the lack of spelling

The bits of 9500rpm and 60,000km's stand out like a motor that isn't exactly fresh. :D

BBE or more appropriately BBQ. :P

How is your oil pressure, I don't believe you have answered?

A motor can appear fine when its not.. Guilt Toy's is a prime example, it began playing up 6months before it let go and began knocking.

But in all honestly... if you really have done 60,000km's and been flicking it to 9500rpm quite often its most definitely not going to be anything like a fresh motor. Its going to be worn and may very well have issues you are not aware of.

As the bearings showed signs of dirty oil you may have left a little swarf behind after drilling the oil restrictors out and or it was fitted up then later drilled out when you realised it had to be drilled out.

Is this the case as I believe in a previous post you made mention that you initially didn't know they had to be drilled out as it was a direct bolt on.

Aaron from slide the day i got turbo delivered sent a link explaining oil lines needed modding, in link it says to redrill banjo fittings to 6 mm and banjo oring (end off line to 55 mm ) this was all done as specs showed, even thou i got told originally it was strate bolt on

Never mind if I am wrong its my sceptical nature. :D

Slide has been kind enough to post pics and the report of what was wrong with the turbo... So you now know there was an oil supply problem. Can you possibly think of why there was an oil supply problem? Do you think it may have been the oil lines + a little swarf, engine oil pressure is lacking? Possibly a blocked oil galley turbo feed in the block?

Take the criticism on the chin and forget about it, try to work through with everyone and get to the bottom of what the problem was. It clearly wasn't a fauly turbo as the bearings showed lack of oil.

ive got a question, wouldnt it be right to say if he does it himself he has only himself to blame, hence would also void any type of warranty? what an idiot i mean if it is true 3-4 turbos since far out it would have to be a clear indication.

Meh wingers theres always one that is never happy.

NEXT time why dont you buy a non turbo car, save you some money and hasseling or get a "Professional to do it" no no i dont mean yourself

If anything this is good publicity for Slide as the public have been shown that he is a reputable and trusted trader.

I plan to get one of his hiflows when I mod my GTST up in the next few months.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
