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 just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • 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.
