used a wire wheel tonnes of wet and dry sand paper, undercoat and some decent paint. colour was tungston i think.. commodore colour :P

all up two full days

just temporary till i get them all blasted back and powdercoated properly

Might get mine done in a light grey.

yeah Roo that why you dont show up to the auction at all send your man in your place and have a phone link with him :P muhahahaha

thats actually very good advice. Make sure you also tell the agent that if the vendors insist with the auction going ahead that your offer may not be there at the end if it gets passed thru for less.

Nah this is what he meant. Theres the hose which goes from the turbo to the actuator. He said that apparently this was not meant to be, but there was

meant to be a solenoid that went in between it from Nissan factory. At this stage he had already passed me so i wasnt going to argue much, but i mentioned

that i thought they only came out on later models like 33,34. Bleh i dunno lol >.>

Congrats Min! Hopefully get mine passed next week so I can get back to driving it again! :D

Thanks Luke, just pray you dont get one of the younger looking guys. They looked fairly tough. (As in following the book down to the line@!) I got a middle aged

bloke who happened to be in a happy mood. I guess i got lucky!

My new tie rod ends has arrived awesome :D anyone fitted these before? Should I fit them myself I'm not sure because getting the adjustment exactly dead-on on both side looks to be a pain or should I have some suspension place do it so they adjust it and get an alignment done aswell?

If you need a hand mate, ill help ya out!

and MIN, yea Boost solinoid was a two stage bleeder which switched from 5psi to 7psi at 4000rpm on RB25DET!!! The Guy is obviously confused..One of robert's 33's didn't pass tier 3 because of this exact reason. The hose from the compressor housing to the actuator is stock so no stress mate.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
