also does anyone have a part number for the handbrake pads??

roof rail replacement panels - ???

[KiwiRS4T]

the Whiteline reference for the rear sway bar is BNR11XX (24mm solid).

You may be able to find someone to make one in 24mm solid bar by using your stock one as a pattern.

A GT3076 is about $2000 new or a little less second hand. I personally wouldn't bother with a Chinese copy for a turbo or an exhaust manifold (I do have a Chinese copy of the GReddy FF plenum).

When our kits are finally here, come take a look at the roof rail panels we have had made... keep an eye on my roof rail thread: they are overdue already, but by all indications should be here in the next week or so...

[lilcrash]

yer ive been watching the thread but doesnt seem like they are ever going to come. how much are they going to cost? and after your current group buy how long will it take to get some made?

[rb26stagea]

There's the $40mil question: how long?? It should be a reasonable time frame after the first batch: it's just this initial run that's taking so long. pricing for this run is $600 for fibreglass, $900 (? i think that was it?) for carbon fibre.

They WILL be finished: I have invested too much money and frustration into this not to have an acceptable result

i think you'll find anything labeled GT30 on eBay and going for $500 will either be blown up or a dodge chinese copy. if you shop around a GT30 will go for about $1500, go to somewhere like MTQ (garrett dealers), they are out acacia ridge way. it will be slightly more for an internal wastegate one if you want to go that way.

coilovers, go to justjap, for just over $1000 they have a few options, i got the BC's they offer and am happy with them. otherwise you'll be up for a bit of coin goes for some new teins.

also check out darrinspencer's thread he made not to long ago about hicas lock bars, the R33/R34 one he got was too short.

if your ok with pillow-ball rear camber arms (they can get a little squeaky and transfer a little noise) than ebay has a few options as do a few of the other import part sellers. i was looking at a pair of whiteline KTA-128's, they are still a bush mount (nice and quite) and with whiteline you know the quality is good. but are ~$350 a pair.

also another option for nistune is EFI performance at stapylton. they've been doing nistune for a while now.

yer i was looking at chinese style turbos, i never had any problems with the to4e i bought but yer i would deffinately prefer to go real if i can afford it.

the coilovers i found on ebay are from just jap, its just there prices are cheaper on ebay then on there website. may have been the bcs i was looking at.

darrinspencers thread is what got me worried about what im suposed to buy, i was hoping someone had found a direct fit. its not really that important to get rid of it just scares me sometimes, makes it feel out of control on hard corners

as for your camber arms response that exactly the kind of info i was after, i would trust whiteline alot more then the others.

i considered efi performance too just typed mercury, depends on what they are like when i go see them.

thank you for your responses

considered getting a highflow of your stock turbo?

if you go to garret they will charge you about $1500 for a ball bearing core and will make a decent amount of power

or go to hypeargear and for $800-900 you can get a turbo that is good for about 250-270rwkw and that is not much laggier than stock (also good for 20psi)

not pushing you towards hypergear, just dont know all that much about garret (gcg)

[KiwiRS4T]

I had a GCG highflow and it was fine. Bolted straight back in and looked completely stock. But it cost just over $1800 for the BB version (even with the SAU discount) which is why I would consider a GT3076 instead although it would need at least a spacer and maybe some new lines made up and cost a few hundred more...worth it if you are considering going RB30 some-time down the line.

Have heard good things about the Hypergear rebuilds - mostly journal bearings but half the price!

[lilcrash]

i know that there is a line where people like bb turbos and people dont like them, im on the side that doesnt like them. ive seen a few have malfunctions for silly little things like backfires etc..

i was considering the hypergear route but i cant really have my car off the road that long.

it only takes them a few days, im sure if you ask them and say that you need it asap they could have it done in less (i.e. tell you when there is only 1 highflow in front of yours so you can then pull it off)

or scour the forums for a blown r34 turbo (r34 has a bigger rear housing and flows that little bit more than an r33 one)

[lilcrash]

i was just on the hypergear website and they have a few diffrent atr43 style turbos for the rb25 for $1250 has anyone got one of these?? how close of a direct fit is it??

You need to change all the intake pipe and etc its not a bolton setup on the compressor side. How ever Turbine side is. Since you got a OP6 rear housing just get them to high flow it. capable of about 260rwkws and no EPA.
