if someone is stuck for a helmet we have 2 (1 large, 1 small), you'll need to negotiate a time to collect with Kel. But they *must* be looked after, I'll be needing em this year :P

Message from Aaron : For those interested and haven't pre-booked and taken advantage of the package deal !

"Cost is $330.00 per driver for genuine club members.

Non members is $390.00.

We are having lunch catered on the day as well as a few other surprises so whilst I know it is expensive, as you now know, your members will recieve the best training for making them a "Skyline driver" rather than a owner!"

Looks like I cant make the Eastern Creek day on the 23rd guys. I now am the proud owner of a blown turbo and am stuffed if i know what I am going to do! little hint guys, 15psi through stock turbo over 12months= NOT GOOD!! hahahahaha.

If anyone has a stock turbo in good condition laying around and interested in parting with it for cheap private message me, otherwise I might have to keep her off the road and go the whole hog HKS weapon once i have the money up.

Any ideas guys?? Im open to anything.whats mark and brendan running turbo wise?? Need different piping or exhaust manifold??? PM ME ASAP GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwww shite ! That's no good !

Unfortunately I sold my old turbo - it would have been a bolt on replacement too - bummer and I would have lent it too you so you could run on the day ! ! ! (after that you would have bought it :P )

Umm - have you looked in the For Sale section here ?? You might be able to pick up a second hand one.

Replacing the turbo is not a hard job if you are handy - See if you can pick up a second hand one and fit it yourself - $500 max. for a good one.

Mark - what happened to your old turbo ??

Bummer dude !

Big ass bummer! Trust me, ity was a slow asss trip home after work in Syd to the Central Coast when she went !!!! hahahaha

Im thinking of something thats not too laggy but good for around 250rwkw+. I dont know much about turbos so thats why i was asking you guys! ATM budget is around $2400 and if needed i can get the exhaust manifold made with tuned length and other piping done for literally nuthing.

I gave my high flowed standard turbo to red-gtst on these forums to get it checked out before he buys it for $600.

He said its in top condition - only did about 5k km at 0.85bar.

Its yours if he doesnt want it and you do.

I've got a HKS 2530 and I love it but ive heard the max you can get is about 250rwkw. With this turbo i dont feel lag.

Doughboy on these forums may help you out of your pickle with a nice turbo, I got my turbo from him and he was a true gent.

Do a bit or research on what power/lag compramise you want and go for it.

Unfortunatly things start getting quite expensive after 200kw if you do a proper job.

or.... you can buy my car :P

      I love the early SL500's, they look sleek Give it a good service, throw on a exhaust, and roll like a boss I'd get a nice old SL500 before a 25GT

      Ooohhh I see. I guess that makes sense also. Hey also just a like opinion based question, I've been recently considering getting a SL500 R230 bc my younger sister wants me to drive one (she rlly wants me to flex on her high schooler friends lmfao). However to be honest ive been kind of against the idea is the SL500 for one reason - not very fuel efficient. I understand I probably have the funds to be able to drive this car daily but it kind of pains me that id still have to spend more money on gas compared to like a 25GT or smth. Idk if I should get an SL500 or whether to js go all in on the JDM lifestyle. If I do buy an SL500 I'll probably modify it to a minor degree. (idk slap a turbo/supercharger and a ecu revamp).

      The other reason why I say this is because if you lose the motivation to mess with this stuff, at least if you can get the car back together and fixed up better than it came to you usually you can sell it for more than you paid. Skylines in that regard it's pretty rare for anyone to actually come out ahead.

      Yeah I get the appeal of trying to fix up a broken car and seeing it run once again. Honestly might follow that advice since I know someone who has a broken down m328i and isn't bothered to fix it lol. Its probably a good idea to get a slighter newer car such as like a 400r since my parents are worried ill crash and die lmao (I probably won't but hey I understand why)
