I don't mean to be rude, but it's kinda simple really.

Can't afford to maintain a car, don't modify it. Can't do the work yourself, you have to pay for it. Can't afford to pay for it, don't modify it, maintain it. Can't afford to maintain it........

Vicious cycle really.

What they all said... :no:

Thats a cheap fair price dont be tight...

Best thing i can suggest which is cheaper than Re Customs is call Nissan Australia im sure they will be happy to help you out...

For a fair price.

Farkk man i was told mechanics are negotiable, i didnt know how much it cost for a turbo swap so seriously how was i supposed to know that was a good price? I dont really care if it cost me $500 i wouldve paid it ive got the money i was just saying... talk about going overboard.. banning for that? pfft

Banjo fitting on the left, Banjo bolt that goes through it on the right

HIS Hose can do the fittings for you.

If you look through the forums (probably the general mechanical section or whatever it is), you'll find heaps of info on doing it yourself, but if you have no idea what you're doing, then probably just easier to get Ray at RE to do it for you :P

Woah, joke relax :)

lol my bad wasnt sure if u were joking on not :cheers:

Ahhh yeah that would be it.. Yeah really i'd do it myself even if it took 2 days but thats if i knew how to do it... I only got my skyline about 4 months ago and havent done much when it comes to mechanical work so im still learning everything as i go.. Hopefully in the future ill be more confident and know what things are and do it myself =] but until then i'll be going to RE lol

Yeah I don't personally think a turbo is something you want to attempt with little experience, before I had my Skylines I was kinda the same and I did things like oil coolers and intercoolers but a turbo is pretty serious stuff, don't want it going bang and it's a bit of a bitch of a job for a n00b :cheers:

Sounds good sounds good =] $550 (extra $200 for the water lines/banjo fitments) .. cant wait to get some power man stock car driving me crazy its so slow

Have you done the basics, before turbo?

- ecu

- fmic

- fuel pump

- etc

If not scrap the turbo idea and do the above first, these will unleash the full potential of your current setup and for the turbo upgrade later. Without doing the above, you'll be VERY limited in the power increase.

PS: Hope you're not buying some cheap shit China turbo or a truck turbo :P

That would be a waste of your money and Ray's time.

    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
