Hi

I ordered a Cover King "Storm Proof" cover from USA a few days ago. Was $540 AUD including shipping. Suitable for outdoor use and has lock system. The other OEM didnt seem as good quality, wasnt many good reports on the UK forums. I'll let you know how the Cover King one fits once it arrives.

I tried Nissan today but the AU service/parts people dont seem to be able to help

Nissan parts service here seems to be poor. Here is a link to an OEM one I have seen advertised. I was considering a cheap off the self repco/ebay type but most of the sizes weren't really suitable or oversized/undersized

thanks guys. Dunno if i can bring myself to pay $800 for a car cover :merli:

I see a number of online vendors selling them for about US$300 (genuine)

The problem is finding one who will ship them to australia for a decent shipping price.

my advice, get one from covercraft. they make amazing car covers and you can discuss with them exactly what the cover is for (ie indoor? outdoor? uv protection, dent protection etc). and they fit very nicely.

thanks for the tips Guys. I did end up buying a genuine one from a US vendor for $298US + $65US shipping. I didnt need a storm proof one, it's indoors only. The reason i needed one: there was a violent car jacking in my suburb last week (involving a gun and shots fired apparently!) and as i live on a busy road near where it happened, i would rather the car be out of sight when my family is otherwise opening and closing the gargage door.

in terms of paint, car covers do more damage than good in an indoor environment - if you want to keep people from seeing what the car is exactly, that's another story. But if you just want to stop dust getting on it in the garage, etc... you're better off with no cover, because it will scratch the car. You're not putting the cover on ONLY after you've washed the car are you...

The No 1 rule of Car Covers.ONLY AFTER WASHING AND DRYING fit the cover.

they do, but even inside a garage to prevent dust, you're better off without it. If it's a security thing, then that's different. Although having a black cover with a gtr logo on it, not very subtle :devil:

True, but it's just a ltitle logo on the front though isnt it? That's not going to be visible (with car parked in forwards). Plus i think anyone that close to the car (to make out that logo) and looking for something to steal is going to work it out regardless. I'm just trying to hide this from the casual driver by.

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
