It's less risky when you use a broker who knows what they are doing and have the right contacts in Japan. Keep in mind though that things can still happen that are out of their control as well.

I'd buy another car through Kristian (Iron Chef Imports) without hesitation, although I'm trying to cut down on the whole buying of cars thing :3some: (18 in 6 years is a bit excessive).

its deff something you wanna spend some time reasearching unlike my stupid bro that tried importing a car to have it sit on the docks. we tried getting it in as as a race car only and they still shut it down based on -does not meet aus safty standards

hey Penny, a guy i work with (he is on here but dont think he posts much) is looking to get a turbo conversion done to his 34 GT. he has a workshop lined up, and all the info. i can get him to get in touch wit u if ur keen?

Yeah that would be great thanks!

Will be good to compare my options, cheers :3some:

KKR are ass. Cheap, laggy, etc.

"I just bought a KKR turbo, installed it and now I hear a whining sound when it comes on boost..."

"I have a KKR turbo and when I hit boost, there's a cloud of white smoke behind me?"

"I just bought a KKR turbo. Then my wife left me. Then I heard a metal clanging sound when it hit boost?"

And the topics just roll on...

i donno, there's alot of good and bad in all those posts.

to be quite honest, when i drive the silvia, she gets one HELL of a beating. and that turbo has gone through hell but its kicking pretty strong still.

i guess i cant give a full comment about the kkr as mine's a cross bred with garret and the wategate has been sorted out already but im pretty happy with my 1.8ltr turbo that can stomp a 6ltr v8 :3some:

too much in this thread to pick apart everything specially on 64k and now I've had too choose the PDA skin to try and optimise load times

someone made mention of sensible's im guessing you mean the one on OG rd, that's where i bought my car and had no drama's had snapped turbo manifold studs got them replaced had worn rear brakes got them replaced bought the car without driving it only hearing the engine NOT because they wouldn't let me drive it but i didnt want to fall in love with the car and have finance fall through

Ben - this should hit that itchy spot

SpaghettiSpoon467Three.jpg:3some:

hrrmmm cars been in the workshop for a month or so now and i'm feeling withdrawl symptoms :woot:

I hear ya. the gtr has spent almost a week of the last month at the mechanics getting loads of stuff done... *sigh*

The angst of owning an import haha

-D

what's happening to yours?

so far i've had major service (timing belt, tensioner kit) n1 water pump, isc radiator, new hosing and nissan coolant installed, i got brakes and pads on order and after that i'll be putting in N1 turbos and a new gearbox... its currently there getting a cracked heater core hose repaired... fun stuff

-D

nice

Im off soon to pick up my ordered sparkies, and to grab a 30%-angled thermalflex ply silicone joiner hose + a cple tbolt clamps

finishing off the piping properly, then might get a mandrel bent 2-piece copy made of the intercooler piping system Ive tee'd up

also put mesh around the front of the bar, looks amazing TBH :woot:

(cut bottom of day bar, big fmic tucked behind black mesh)

then dropping off the missus for her last wrist surgey (carpel tunnel, right wrist a success after 7 weeks, so here goes

hope Pokie has a good birth today

our friend had little Jye last week, nice boy to join 2 sisters

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
